Various Artists : Braaahhlitz Compilation [aaahh016]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on April 6, 2013

“Take a look at it, have a listen: We are proud to present you Braaahhlitz #1, the second compilation in our aaahhchestra series. In 2012 we met in the small village of Bralitz (near Berlin) for a weeklong recording session. Members of e.g. Keyboard Rebel and ne:o plus Nicolas Falcon of Falcon and the Featherweights fame did their best to recreate the vibe of our excursion to Denmark in 2011.

Even more than in Denmark this feels like a group effort with a more unified sound. Still, Braaahhlitz #1 is a journey through various genre influences, like folk, balkan pop and even hip hop – partly serious, partly humourous.

Eight songs, including flutes, trumpets, extensive clapping and voices make Braaahhlitz #1 the ideal gift for your spouse, auntie or that guy. If you order now, we will additionally send you the set of steak knives and the garden claw free of charge. Braaahhlitz #1 has been awarded with the aaahh seal of approval for quality recordings. But kidding aside, as usual this release will be available as free download. Payment is optional.

All this would not have been possible without the support of our host Ralf, the production skills of Milan Greulich (Rokotak, ne:o) and – of course + especially – this would not have been possible without you, dear aaahh records supporter. We hope that you will be as thoroughly happy with this new release as we are.”

Tarmac : The Fog 0 Collection [adpt008]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on March 31, 2013

“Hard times. Last months have not been the best for Tarmac. Some of his sadness is reflected the way the tracks are composed and arranged. That is truth but there´s something that let the people think that better times will come. We just add a ‘maybe’.

Post was out of the collection at the very beginnings but a happy incident in the studio turn around completely the melodic part and magic happened suddenly. They way to find this magnificent accident is an open minded way of musical production and not less hard work on a daily basis since more than 10 years. It´s a fully detailed track that could be listen in both vertical and horizontal positions. Following Post is Rare Disease in which some parallelism arises with artist´s situation. There´s a hidden collection of tracks inspired by the illness that affects the author of this track. This is the first, and perhaps, the only one that will be published.

Next in the track list is Eros that was arranged live. The inspiration comes from a conversation with Am.Light about the way to make their tracks sound fresher. What better way of finding inspiration for your own music that talking to another musician. The result is a track full of effects with a deep and rude attitude.

And finally, closing The Fog 0 Collection is Prosperity. Prosperity is the state of flourishing, thriving and good fortune. That´s the way Tarmac seeks his part of it, producing a song full of vitality. A dreamy song that makes the end of this eighth release at Adeptlabel.

Last but no least is the mastering work giving the program a great finish and a full dynamic range, all done by the llamaza, a crucial member inside the outfit.”

Juan Baeza : Recommandations EP [schm011]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on March 28, 2013

“Born in Chile, it was in Switzerland that Juan Baeza discovered and fell for electronic music. From as early as 1991 he was playing at various events. He has performed in many venues in the French speaking part of Switzerland such as MAD, D! Club, La Ruche, Base Bar and La Mine in Lausanne, The Legend in Bienne as well as Le Sphinx and Le Dome in Martigny. In 1998, He became resident at the Veaudoux Club and in 2005, at the mythic underground Thursday night party called â€œLa CauseTekâ€ in Lausanne.
He did not wait for the â€œminimal fashionâ€ to explode before playing for an avid public and in 2006-07, he returned to his native South American continent where he played at some of the most famous clubs and venues in Chile such as la Feria, Le Journal, Piso 33 & After Domenica. He became resident at After La Cabana where his nickname â€œMinimal Juanâ€ was given to him by his adoring fans.
His recent influences were of a more abstract electro. The astounding precision of his intuitive mixing and the profound research for evermore subtle finesse won the hearts of many of the underground scene. Juan Baeza started composing back in 2004. Minimal psychedelic sounds with a dark bass line and experimental rhythms were his first tentatives which slowly matured into what is today known as â€œJuanâ€™s musicâ€. A precise kick, simple rhythms, efficient melodious micro sounds, fragments of voices with an avid abuse of effects single out his sound, making it particular to Juan Baeza.”
