A weekend with Hunee
That amateurish but charming handy-made picture above is showing some parts of the legendary Swabian Albs and the last hours with our friend Hunee from Berlin. It is always such a great pleasure to have him playing our bleepgeeks night(where he played a marvellous mix of great music, new and old) and hanging around, listening to records, talking about records, to ponder on essential aspects of live and eating good food all the time! Was big Fun all the way! Hunee, we miss you already! See you soonish!

Three Records to go for!!! # 10
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!
Vinyl, we love you lock, stock and barrell!

Rhythm Master - Rhythm Magic (1984)
The CBS associated Mosaic Records was a short-lived label in the mid-eighties for the output of well known producer Michael Zager, who went for the more electronic, popish, rapish and funk side of things on this outlet. Rhythm Magic is a funny track with some slight go-go feelings(at least for me), nice and friendly drums on a very dancefloor-friendly production. The other side has a Dub on it where not much is happening during the whole length, but it's keeping up the tension in a remarkable way. What is Michael Zager doing these days?

Future Thinking Episode 6 by Rare:groove
My good friend Marco (most of the time more familiar as the mighty Dj Rare:groove) from Ulms very own Deep Shot crew forwarded me the 6th episode of his Future Thinking mix series, which is offering a very interesting and enjoyable ride through his dubstep galaxies and deep electronic underwater worlds. Oh lord, what a nice mix it is! He brilliantly fills the gaps between experimental beat excursions and harmonic melodies using appropriate transitions with the right sense of creating a fluent dramaturgy. The Track selection is ace, capturing the current who is who of producers from dubstep to electronix, featuring the likes of June Miller, Burial and Lusine, just to name a few.
You can catch him doing the Step-up radio show in irregularly intervals and while playing his monthly resident nights called "Deep Shot" at club Schilli near the city center. Marco, well done mate!

Edgar Winter - Above And Beyond (Instrumental Mix) (1979)
Up and away to the blue Skies! Above and Beyond is a very classic tune from a very unusual source. Edgar Winter is the younger brother of the blues-rock guitarist Johnny Winter and not only due to this, most of his compositions were similar to the efforts of his older brother. But if you look more precisely to the release info, you will just notice a very familiar name in the disco game, no less than Tom Moulton. If nothing else, with his little help, Edgar turned his ideas into pure gold!

Sa. 18.09.2010 : bleepgeeks feat. dj Hunee (Retreat/Berlin) @ Cabaret eden
Well, having Hunee playing a bleepgeeks night is a really special thing for us! Bright eyes, winged hearts, liberated souls and tons of pleasant anticipation, all at once is going the circuit in our sweet and cosy bleepgeeks office!
Let's get to know Hunee a little better:
Hunee is a good eater. He comes from a grey and boring city, where heavy industrialization and green forests go hand in hand. In his teenage years, he used to colour this environment with rap and soul music.
Now being a Berlin resident for almost ten years – he eats bumpin’ disco for breakfast, heats up deep jackin’ music for lunch and slows it soulfully down for dinner. In the night he prefers to spend his time cookin a special meal on the turntables. He is a good swimmer too – when he’s out of the water, he makes records for labels like feel music, W.T. Records, Permanent Vacation, Internasjonal and Retreat.
Let's sweat for better living!

HO Happy Day!
Ok guys, i'm not that big frikkeloni, but this one's i'm a bit proud of. I've just build up this pc-system from actual components and assemblies with the aim to put my dusty Pulsar II-Recordingcard into it... and: it's working like in past... :) Incredible, this card was sleeping for more than 4 years in the box. It includes the very old 3.1. Scope fusion platform software which is now looking quite antique on the screen.
Will i come back to do music again like in the ol' days or will i still hang in the record-collectors-net? It's a mess... But it's a start. As it is in every case if when you have musical gadgets: You can have a studio like a Popstar, but if this makes you like an Popstar is the question. Or in other words: You can have cool synthesisers and stuff, but this doesn't mean you can make cool music.

TV Series on ARTE.TV
The influence of afro-american musical cultures on british / continental-european youth cultures is and was tremendous. It seems to be an iron law of history that european kids pick up and appropriate contemporary afro-american music styles. Of course, american mass media has almost supernatural powers on the rest of the world, but this does not explain, why so many kids are much more attracted by the styles of black cultures than by styles of the predominant white culture. A recent series on the sixties on the french / german TV channel ARTE sheds a light on the origins of this phenomenon, among other things, of course, but for us, as house and disco informed individuals, this seems to be point of matter.
The rise of disco music in Europe was by no means the first major invasion of afro-american music culture into european discotheques, teenage bedrooms, rehearsal rooms and music studios. Earlier examples where certainly even more tremendous. The impact of jazz music goes far ahead of the sixties. The term Mod, naming the famous british youth culture emerging in the late fifties, was referring to modernist, or Modern Jazz. Not only listening to jazz music, but also copying the modern fashion styles of jazz musicians, these european white kids where certainly deeply moved by black styles. The early sixties in Britain brought up a musical and thereby a cultural revolution. Young people with working class and lower middle class backgrounds started picking up american rhythm and blues music, copying it, and then to transform it into a new and unique form of british rhythm and blues music that electrified kids all over the globe to suggest new ways of being. Whereas most european efforts to imitate or to evolve afro-american music fell hopelessly short of their american role models, think of shitty UK house music, of euro dance, of german hip hop and disco music etc., this bands of the sixties really stated a difference, not forgetting the italians who really mastered their own form of disco music, but never really had a greater cultural impact. It may sound stupid, they are such an established part of our public awareness, of education, of delusion of the public, but The Beatles and even more The Rolling Stones had a incomparable revolutionary impact on global culture and global thinking. I'm not necessarily a fan of the music of The Rolling Stones, but on any account, they where the most revolutionary effective of all bands that touched the planet.
You can watch the films of the TV series for a few days after TV broadcasting. So be quick seeing it.
'British Blues Explosion' is a documentary on the appropriation of rhythm and blues music in the early sixties.
'Mods & Rockers' is a documentary on the myth of the hassle between mods and rockers. It's also giving an introduction into the mod culture.
I would like to especially recommend 'One Plus One', a film collage by Jean Luc Godard, encompassing very interesting footage of The Rolling Stones working out their song 'Sympathy for the Devil'.

Tone Band - Germany Calling
Nice arpeggio on classical beathoven-strings. Some may say this sounds "cosmic". Just for your information: The artists are scotsmen.
Eric Hine - Not fade away
Cool Synths and instrumentation, but quite too poppish vocals, respectable by all means. Rare on 12".

Roberto Lodola - Marimba Do Mar (Fusion Version)
Even not the merest sunbeam on the sky right now, but i have the largest possible summer feelings with this Bossa Nova tune here from italian producer Roberto Lodola who got kind helps by George Aghedo on Percussions. Marimba Do Mar was released on the underrated Academy Records imprint and enqueues itself into the wave of afro- and fusioninfected productions. Would some kids say Balearic!? Would some kids strain their boundaries for this kind of fragrant cheesiness!? It's just Ibiza in 1986, i promise!

The Countach - Aqua Marina (Paradise Mix)
Outstanding Italian house classic from The Countach project, borrowing ideas from Carlos Santana's "Aqua Marine" song and fitting them successfully into that typical italian ambient- and trancey-tinged early nineties house formula. Did anyone say balearic?

SFF - Song From India (1979)
The triumvirate Eduard Schicke, Gerhard Führs and Heinz Fröhling teamed up as SFF to bring some Krautrock compositions to the world, solely on pioneer German Label Brain. The band made three albums between the years 1976 and 1979 to share their visions with the public and the effort 'Song from India' is probably their most known production among record collectors and cosmic heads. And, well, that PAN AM ticket cover, i like it soooo much!

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!

SA.17.07.2010 - bleepgeeks feat. BEAUTIFUL SWIMMERS (Future Times/Washington DC.) @ Eden, Ulm
Die Beautiful Swimmers, bestehend aus Andrew F.-P. & Ari G. aus Washington, D.C., sind wieder zu Gast bei den bleepgeeks! Nach der Riesensause im letzten Jahr haben wir glücklicherweise die zwei Großstadthippster wieder für das Eden gewinnen können. Es wird elektronisch, 80s, obscur und extrem tanzbar. Auf Ihrem eigenen Imprint "Future Times" hat sich seither einiges getan und Sie präsentieren an dem Abend mitunter Ihre neueste Vinyl-Auskopplung "Give it all you got". Die Beautiful Swimmers sind als leidenschafliche Hardcore-Platten-Digger bekannt, demnach dürfen also mächtig gespannt sein, was sich sonst in den Jutetaschen so angesammelt hat und auf die Menge abgefeuert wird!

Florian Schröder / Mankind, We Love Ulm
WE LOVE ULM im Interview mit Florian Schröder/ Mankind from We Love Ulm on Vimeo.
Florian Schröder ist einer der umtriebigsten und schillerndsten Persönlichkeiten der florierenden Nacht- und Unterhaltungsszene unserer Stadt. Vielen Leuten ist er besser bekannt als MC Mankind, der nie ein Blatt vor den Mund nimmt und seit jeher durch seine kontroversen, jedoch ehrlichen Aussagen gerne mal provoziert, ganz im Sinne eines erfahrenen Vollblutrapmusikers. Seine Produktivität findet nicht nur in der Rap- und Hip Hop Musik einen Abschluss, vielmehr ist sein Ideenreichtum ein Garant für tolle Ergebnisse auf den unterschiedlichsten kreativen Spielwiesen, angefangen von der Schauspielerei und Regie bei eigenen Filmen, oder im Konzeptdesign für Veranstaltungen und Produktionen aller Art. Er stellt schon seit vielen Jahren sein ausserordentliches Talent für das gesprochene Wort unter Beweis, unabhängig von Ort und Zeit, egal ob im voll gefüllten Club als versierter und technisch ausgereifter MC für die Clubgänger, oder als schlagfertiger Studiorapper mit genügend Witz und treffsicherem Gespür für Hip Hop Fans aus aller Welt. Vor kurzem hat er die Arbeit an seinem vierten Musikalbum abgeschlossen und bereitet sich auf die Veröffentlichung vor.
Im Vorfeld des Albumreleases haben wir uns mit Florian Schröder getroffen um mehr über Ihn zu erfahren.

Fela Ransome Kuti And The Africa 70 - Lady
What a lucky day! This one was falling from the (flewmarket)heaven into my womb.... and the best: it's the nigarian press! You may guess it: It's in a shitty vg condition like all these other boogie-disco-jazzy-killer stuff from africa. Anyhow, great play! Here's a teaser from Side-A of the CD, which is nowadays also available...

New Designer - Recreation Zone.O.
The first thing i thought of when i looked on the (back-)cover of this record was: "oh yeah, a russian wave album!" But after listening to it, i got disabused. The guys in black coats make russian popmusic, and in some episodes, with a funky vibe. In any case worth to collect! I'm not able to read Russian, so let's listen to "track 4 on the b-side" from this, in 1991 recorded, album...

Joe Church - Don't You Wanna Be Mine (Club Mix)
Most of You will know Joe Church's Garage House Classic "I Can't Wait Too Long", which appeared on cult Label Sleeping Bag Records from New York in 1988. This one here came out one year before and marks Joe's first record and what a debut it is! Joe Church on Vocals, making things sensuous and (god, forgive me for using the "deep" word) deep through the whole track. A Pretty much outsanding and laid back beat programming and a somehow odd production concerning the year of its accruement (we have to mention that New York Legend Tommy Musto was on production duties) is making this release really worth to check out, of course, in my humble opinion!
