Fr. 10.12.2010 @ Roxy, Ulm - Weeland & the Urban Soul Collective

weeland & the urban soul collective ist die Formation um den Gitarristen, Songwriter und Produzenten Patrick Wieland. Schon das Debut Album das 2006 erschien, wurde in feinster Neo-Soul Manier mit deutschen Texten produziert und nicht ohne Grund landete der Albumtitel „nachhaus zurück“ auf einer Neo Soul Compilation in guter Gesellschaft mit Erykah Badu, Amp Fiddler oder D’angelo. „weeland“ featuring Ralf Damrath einer der wenigen deutschen Vertreter dieses Genres wurden hier als Geheimtipp erwähnt. Das Konzept wurde nun erweitert und „weeland“ arbeitete diesmal mit mehreren Sängern für das kommende Album zusammen. Man entschied sich für die englische Sprache, da nicht alle Beteiligten aus dem deutschsprachigen Raum stammen. Konsequent bleibt „weeland“ bei seinem Sound bei der sich die Stimmen von Brandy Butler ( Philadelphia) Raphael Jacob oder Mika Doo (London) wie selbstverständlich einfügen. Auch die Stimme von Esther Cowens ( Berlin ) die ansonsten die backing vocals für Jan Delay oder Mando Diao schmettert glänzt hier im sehr motownigen Track " 2 of a kind ". Wie schon beim Vorgänger gibt es auch wieder musikalische Gäste auf dem kommenden Tonträger. So liefert u.a Joo Kraus relaxte Flügelhorn soli und funkyStabs.
„weeland“ der in den letzten Jahren sowohl live als auch im Studio mit Künstlern wie zb. den Fantastischen Vier oder Max Herre (Freundeskreis) gearbeitet hat sieht sich hier als Bindeglied grossartiger Sänger und Musiker , eben einem „soul collective“ das gehört werden will. Das Album „ the golden sessions “ erscheint im Oktober diesen Jahres und wieder gibt es jede Menge 70’s vibes , nu soul, motown und hip hop Anleihen die zum Kopfnicken und Becken bewegen einladen.

Die Live Band :
Patrick Wieland : Gitarre
Raphael Jacob : Gesang, Gitarre ( Seven )
Brandy Butler : Gesang ( Phenomden )
Martin Stumpf : Bass ( Max Mutzke )
Hendrik Smock : Schlagzeug ( Roachford )

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!

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.
