After Paul Beats made it on FM4 Soundsystem´s show already a few days ago, this afternoon seen. team´s young gun Tim Turbo will be taking over Austrian airwaves and the respective stream. Listen to his 20-min. mix from 3.30 pm CET and feel the heat. The tracklist should be available on this page pretty soon and will let you know what´s up, seen?
I´m on the jump to Melt! festival. That´s why I only copy Tim Turbo´s post about the new single and video to what could be the best German album released at least this year:
Two drummer in a three weeks lasting mega-session in a studio in France, because no drum sounds should be sampled, but a unique sound should arise.
Also syntheziser were a no-go. Orchestra was the word. They created new string melodies and riffs, but DJ Illvibe also digged deep in the crates for some hidden samples, strings and woodwind or brass groups, which a arranger used as template to write a score for the Babelsberg Film Orchestra.
That´s how Seeed mastermind Peter Fox made his upcoming solo debut. The single above will be released at 15.08.2008 and is called “Alles Neu” (meaning “All New”). Orchestral German Dancehall. Imagine they would use synthies.
Remember when we posted FM4´s Soundsystem initiative a few weeks ago? Well, one of the readers of this blog, Paul Beats, got the message and submitted a 20 minute soundbombing. Just a few days ago, his all-exclusives mix got aired. Here´s the tracklist:
tony cottura ft. eggnog and danny english partyboom (paul beats remix)
t.o.k defense it (paul beats remix)
blacker tek off sum (paul beats remix)
t.o.k ft. tamy chin hyper monday (paul beats remix)
munga ft. french affair shake ladida (paul beats remix)
voice mail red bull & guiness (vinylshotz remix)

And here´s the download link. Nice one, Paul!
Just a quick one for tonight: check
- Don Letts´ second Fabric podcast,
- Imeem´s “Key to the City” on Philly,
- an insight into the life of a Woofah contributor &
- an Rahul Verma´s article on “UK MCs, the Caribbean and rave culture” (feat. quotes from Gabriel Heatwave, Roots Manuva & the Ragga Twins)
Currently, the remixes of our man in Berlin, Tim Turbo, seem to be even more popular on the web than some of the content of this blog.
Just one day after his mental baile funk mashup of the German rave anthem “3 Tage wach” from Luetzenkirchen (which made it e.g. on the Man Recorder blog and on Palms Out Sounds), another one of his tunes popped up in the new Heatwave mix which promotes Gabriel Heatwave´s, Rubi Dan´s, Ben Dubstar´s, DJ Rebel´s and Frenzy Don´s new night of “Caribbean jump up music” called “Immediate” at The Others in London.
And I also heard TT will be one of the residents of some new club night somewhere in Germany… More details soon.
Fabric is one of London´s most legendary clubs - the soundsystem´s supposed to be one of the best in the world and the website has a red banner with rotating claims. One of them says “Kill the Hippies”. LDN, nuff watts and non-hippie. Sounds like a perfect fit. Sounds even more like one listening to number 14 of the Fabric´s podcast series.
This time, Don Letts is on the decks. In case you don´t know: He´s about
bass and the history and legacy of Jamaican culture which has actually become part of the fabric of contemporary pop music.
Nothing more to say than better listen to that mix (and, of course, read “Culture Clash“)
