D.K. Family - Fang mich auf

Quite popish-music from the german 80's. First starting in english language, after 2:12 min switching into german! The lyrics are not very dramatic, but who care's! From 1986 released on Jupiter! You can do further research by using the keyword "Dschinghis Khan Family".

Dance Club - Papaya (1984)


"The papaya (from Carib via Spanish) is the fruit of the plant Carica papaya, in the genus Carica. It is native to the tropics of the Americas, and was first cultivated in Mexico several centuries before the emergence of the Mesoamerican classic cultures. It is often called a "paw paw" or a "big melon" but the North American pawpaw is a different species, in the genus Asimina." - Source: Wiki.

A loose get-together of italians(some of them are quite known in specific circles) made some beats in the early eighties and sang over them, rapped over them, they just did their stuff over them. They clearly had the papaya in their mouths at least in their minds while they produced this nice piece of music. Listening to this is just fun for me, nothing more nothing less.

26.03. : Luv Dancin' with Filippo Moscatello, Loud E and Knüppel @ Root Club Ulm


The wheel has come full circle! Filippo Moscatello, one of the most eccentric caretakers of Ulm's musical heritage, is back in town with a new monthly night called "Luv Dancin" at Root club, the well known basement venue in the heart of the cities pedestrian precinct.
Filippo Moscatello is a cool cat! After travelling the earth, under his glittering "Naughty" moniker, as one of the key figures of the International Deejay Gigolo era, he soon noticed that there is a lot more to do than drinking champagne with Karl Lagerfeld. After pooling his strengths for creative music efforts, he made highly acclaimed EP's for the belgium based hipster Label Eskimo Recordings, simultaneously paying tribute to his very own heroes like Armando and the Chicago House Music scene.
Filippo was still travelling the earth, now using the Berlin airport as his starting point. The capital of Germany already took a big role in his life, as he was helping to evolve the cities club sounds with much-noticed residencies at Cookies and the 12th floor based Weekend venue. His outcome "One Naughty night in Berlin" is an impressive music chronicle of that specific period and it is still easily passing the test of time.
Our most beloved Gigolo made necessary and sensible transitions during his time in Berlin and he still does! Casting off the "Naughty" alias and relocating with new record labels were parts of his natural movement to push things onwards. Filippo found a new home with Moodmusic and endowed the Label with vivid club EP's. The Moodmusic Filippo Moscatello affairs reached peak with a valuable album called Pagliaccio, whose tracks still get plays in the foremost clubs!
We have early spring in 2010 and the man himself is back with a new chapter in his musical career! He keeps watching his output on his own Couture imprint and all his creative energy will flow into the "Luv Dancin" residencies, in Berlin and Ulm.
And yes, he is still naughty, in a good way, as a dj! His sets are spiked with idiosyncratic house drafts, appropriate and rocking club tunes, classic 12 inches and italian disco songs, which have right kick to blow your ass!
We are really looking forward to the first of the Luv Dancin series in Ulm, to hold Filippo once again in our arms! We'll have plenty of time for this as he has backup on the dj booth with Loud E, the holland disco king and Knüppel, the watchman of Berlin's rarest disco records!
You know what? Get your hips to Root club, to see an appearance of Filippo Moscatello, it could be a rare one, 'cause he's still travelling a lot!

Bonzo Goes To Washington - 5 Minutes (C-C-C-Club Mix) (1984)


We have a meaty leftfield production here from the well known P Funk Master Bootsy Collins teaming up with Talking Heads Member Jerry Harrison, calling themselves Bonzo Goes to Washington for this one off project on the immortal Sleeping Bag Recordlabel. On top of it, you can hear former US President Ronald Reagan talking about bombing Russia in 5 Minutes. This is nothing but eighties chronicles!

20.03.2010 : bleepgeeks @ eden feat. dj Finn Johannsen


Finn Johannsen is a music nerd in the most positive sense. Being raised in Schleswig-Holstein's provincial capital Kiel, he soon noticed that there is more to life than catboats and sailing regattas. Being infected with music of all kinds, Finn stumbled across dance music during his time in late-80's Hamburg, where he witnessed the hedonism, sinful behaviour and musical bliss of Klaus Stockhausen's legendary 'Front' clubnights at first hand. Hip hop, Chicago house, Italian disco and American boogie were accompanied by techno from Detroit and Sheffields first Warp records. To this day, Finn holds true that 'anything goes' ethic as long as it moves your feet and your heart: Be it as an adept DJ, an editor for one of Germany's most important electronic music magazines De:Bug or together with Stefan Goldmann behind the daring Macro label.

We truly feel blessed to welcome Finn Johannsen to the holy rooms of eden!

Ray Carlton - Superfine

How does a boogish musicproduction from Germany sound in 1987? Maybe incredibly obscure and bad. Here we have a proof of it. Everything's included: Weird vocals (from i think : invited singers from the US), bad percussion combined with low budget horns and FM-Piano out of the midi-expander. Nevertheless, it's worth listening (and collecting) it! Recorded and mixed at Europasound Studio, Bad Homburg. Produced by Carsten Reeck. Released on "Rekord". If you know more about this record, let me know!

Three Records to go for!!! # 3

Our heading "Three Records to go for!!!" is meant to highlight you some records, mostly newer ones, that turned out into the bleepgeeks music radar through utterly coincidences, well researched record hunts or any other fortunate circumstances. The stuff we introduce can be dance music, comedy, non-dance music, originals, reissues, bootlegs or limited pieces, we don't separate!
In some cases we just liked the Cover of that Record, sometimes we made a mispurchase and sometimes our mandibles came off because of the music which was carved into the rills!
We won't do any reviews, puffing these records up to holy grails or slam them into wax garbage!
It's just made for you to (hopefully) discover new music and new sleeves! We wish you a lot of fun while finding these records at your local record shop on the streets or in your world wide virtual reality through clicking on to your favourite record stop!

It's useful, it's not so expensive, not so rare maybe due to this, but it makes the collector happy! I've chosen the Instrumental version to share with you. No special reason, i like both versions.

Jerzzey Boy - The Lost Cuts E.P.



I just came across this video by pure accident. It's showing two guys sitting in a studio, one of them is playing some tracks. Nothing too special up to that point. The real interesting piece of news about this recording is that one of the guys seems to be Jerzzey Boy, a renown early nineties House producer from the New Jersey movement. Looks like the Jerzzey Boy is back in the game after so many years! Oh boy, those tracks that are played in the video! Essential sounding Garage and New Jersey House sounds, with infectious grooves and deep basslines! You rarely hear things like this in current productions. They say the tracks will come out soon...we're waiting wistfully!!!

Serious Groove is back!

One of our long term main sources for inspiration was the Serious Groove Youtube Channel, hosted by a guy from Zurich in Switzerland, calling himself Carlo. I don't know why but not too long ago his account was suspended. Just right now i found out that he is back as Truth Vibrations with great house grooves and extraordinary eschantological messages and links. A wild mix of music and religion, kinda scary. Have a look. Thanks Carlo!

Disco not Disco Deutschland

Yes, it's true. Germany had it's own definition of "Disco" on the TV. Anchorman Ilja Richter showed Pop, Rock and German Schlager in a great mix from the beginning of 1971 to the end of 1982 at the "ZDF". Not specific, not experimental and mostly big names like "ABBA" or "Udo Jürgens". Everything, but not good Disco-Music. What a mess!

Albert Daiber in SWP Ulm



For those of you who have never been there. The Albert Daiber location is a place at Neue Straße/Ehinger Tor, operated by two young and motivated cats called Laura Schupp and Wanda Wollinsky. The space randomly opens its doors for parties, poetry slams, exhibitions and other occasions. Trashy and pleasant in its look, DIY in its approach, Albert Daiber is already a shure shot for those who know and a new and cool addition to Ulm's nightlife. You can see a picture of our friends Laura and Wanda on the picture below. So, you young and aspiring space crackers, go on an do your thing! We like it a lot!




So what's going on with the news. The local paper SWP has discovered Ulm's new hope in alternative amusement and culture. They've given its carriers an adequate space to reveal themselves about their incitements and the state of play. Reiner Türke, an administrator in the Citizens Registration Office speaks about Albert Daibers problems in their early days and the report gives an informative view for laymen and fanciers of what is and what was happening in that spot.
