One Track or Album per Week, Number 8: Zimmz – Sinematic.

One Track or Album per Week, Number 8: Zimmz - Sinematic.

Last year, during one of my expeditions into the depths of Beatport, I once again stumbled across a new artist, Zimmz. this was one of the few matches that day.

The music stands out – in contrast to the usual suspects in the Beatport top 100 – not with the ACIDish croaking that is common at the moment, but with an interesting, cinematic sound. The first time I played this track was on 3/13/2020. It will always stay in my memory, because this was the last (legal) gig with a full dance floor and some guests asked me what kind of track this was. Obviously it went down well with the audience. A long time ago. Have fun listening to it:

tante techno’s tea time – dj set july 2021.

DJ Set: tante techno's tea time July 2021

She came, saw and played. Who? Tante Techno, of course. Her set was so powerful, so impressive and enraged Thor. A storm came up, the first lightnings twitched and then it rained cats and dogs. The world was floating away, the end was near. The people begged for mercy. Then Tante Techno swung up and showed Thor who really holds the hammer in his hand. In the end, all was well again.

Nice story, isn’t it? Unfortunately, the short version is not so spectacular: I recorded the set in the sorgenfrei during a thunderstorm. But the story is funnier. Have fun listening to it.

One Track or Album per Week, Number 7: The Cure – Boys Don’t Cry.

One Track or Album per Week, Number 7: The Cure - Boys Don’t Cry.

One of my all-time favorites. No idea how old I was when one of my friends came along with this LP. Of course I recorded it on cassette and listened to it hundreds of times with enthusiasm. And that’s why I bought the CD a few years ago.

There is not much to say about the sound, in my opinion the freshest and also one of the most positive CDs of the band. Many of the following albums are definitely much too gloomy for me. Have fun listening:

One Track or Album per Week, Number 6: Archie Bronson Outfit – Derdang Derdang.

One Track or Album per Week, Number 6: Archie Bronson Outfit - Derdang Derdang.

Garage rock, a pinch of alternative country, in between poppy hooklines, but always rumbling, weird and unconventional.

This diffuse mixture characterizes Archie Bronson Outfit quite well, in my opinion. It’s a pity actually, because with this they are so far away from the mainstream that they will probably never leave their musical niche.

Looking for something special in my music collection, I stumbled across this album today. I had totally forgotten about them, but stage set for Archie Bronson outfit. Have fun listening to it:

One Track or Album per Week, Number 5: Harvey McKay – Black Horse.

One Track or Album per Week, Number 5: Harvey McKay - Black Horse

Harvey McKay is one of my favorites because he has an unmistakable style: a bit edgy, a bit bumpy at times and clearly more creative than most other techno producers who don’t really evolve but always produce the same musical mush.

Black Horse is not bad, but the clearly better track is Eternal. It has everything in it that I like a lot: a hard kick, some exciting sound effects and staccato chords. Have fun listening to it:

One Track or Album per Week, Number 4: Russel Small/DNO P: Strawberry Letter 23 (Dr. Packer Extended Mix).

One Track or Album per Week, Number 4: Russel Small/DNO P: Strawberry Letter 23 (Dr. Packer Extended Mix).

Last week I promised a sequel to the Jackie Brown soundtrack. The highlight (for me) on this soundtrack is Strawberry Letter 23 by The Brothers Johnson.

Anyway, in my recent search for new music I found a lot of quite interesting tracks. Among others the remix Strawberry Letter 23 (Dr. Packer Extended Mix) by Russel Small/DNO P. I already thought the original was brilliant and I immediately fell in love with this interpretation of the original song. Probably available in the next set.

One Track or Album per Week, Number 3: Jackie Brown, Soundtrack.

One Track or Album per Week, Number 3: Jackie Brown, Soundtrack.

If you’ve ever studied Quentin Tarantino, you know that the director is a fan of the music of the seventies. Whether I’m a fan of Quentin Tarantino, I definitely can’t say, but I do like some of his films. Jackie Brown is one of them.

During the movie, I noticed one song in particular that I spontaneously fell in love with. Strawberry Letter 23 by Brothers Johnson. The rest of the soundtrack is really not bad, but the song I just mentioned is the highlight par excellence:

Next week there will be a sequel, so: Stay tuned

tante techno’s tea time – dj set june 2021 edition.

tante techno's tea time - dj set june 2021 edition.

For now the heat is over. A cool downpour, the raindrops patter against the window and I record my set. But all the raindrops can’t cool my anger. Why? The clubs are still not allowed to open, but thousands of soccer fans are allowed to gather in the soccer stadiums. Probably because politicians in the past – when they were young – didn’t dare to go to clubs. They would only have been laughed at, because they were never cool. At the football games, on the other hand, they met the future voters. This is the late revenge of the dullards. Nevertheless, have fun with the set.

Tracks

Psycology (Original Mix) – Joseph Capriati
Pragmatic – Zimmz
Sentient – Joyhauser
Distance – Mark Reeve
Viper – DRUNKEN KONG
Dark Matter – The YellowHeads
The Bronx – Joyhauser
Blast-Attak – T-78

One Track or Album per Week, Number 2: Klaus Schulze, Mirage.

One Track or Album per Week, Number 2: Klaus Schulze, Mirage.

In the 30 Days Challenge I introduced one of my favorite albums pretty much at the beginning: Klaus Schulze, Timewind. But there are two more LPs of the artist in my record collection: Body Love and Blackdance.

In the last weeks I thought over and over again whether I should buy one of the two as a download or as a CD again. After a long time of thinking, however, I came to the conclusion that the latter is too similar to Timewind and that there is only one real electronic firecracker on the first LP.

Instead, during my search I stumbled upon another album by the artist, which I fell in love with almost at first sight: Mirage.

On this album you can find everything that makes Klaus Schulze: sound carpets, synthesizer – chirping, now and then a few percussions. Quiet, meditative music. To relax and switch off. In addition, the tracks are extremely long; summa summarum: does not fit at all in this time, in which everything must go faster and faster and songs in Spotify are listened to only a few seconds. On the other hand, give it a try.

Here are a few tracks:
