Primadonna - Flashing On The Floor (1984)


Another one for the neverending ZYX saga! German collectors know what i'm talking about. No digging around Germany without ZYXation! Primadonna was originally released on italian label Many Records and became licensed by ZYX Records for the german market. Flashing On The Floor delivers everything what your italo heart wants! A male voice, a female voice, hilarious lyrics, a charming accent, cheap production and flying synths, which beam you up on a big room floor with 2000 hands in the air! Where's the next party?

Kym Yancey - Determination (1984)


Found in a dusty crate. Not much info about this tune. A raw and funky jam with relish vocals from Kym Yancey. The cover is just great and makes me happy, as well as the music!

Tie-Break - Bum Bum Becker Beat


Idiotic 80's BRD-pop music about the famous tennis player Boris Becker. Anyhow, it's worth listening at! From 1985. A Wunschklang Production.

Hot Line - Disco Zoo




Very clean sounding disco record without bigger experiments or crazy arrangement; more for the overground than for the underground. But one thing's really funny... The Disco Zoo...
The LP was produced by Olaf Kübler in 1978 in Munich. Released on Ariola. Please click on the green picture to enlarge and get the background information about how the record materialised (taken from the inlay).

La Mama - Boy you lift me up


I found this one at the beloved hometowns record fair. The only thing i knew about this LP was, that there should be handful of good euro/german-dancey-tracks on it. And my little knowledge was right. Just 3 tracks are quite good dancers in the mood of Chic, the rest ist horrible german disco-whatsoever-crap in this typical Hansa-Record-vein.

Recorded at:
FAR Studios, Rosbach. ARCO Studios, Munich. Atlantis Studio, Munich. Rainbow Studio, Munich. Union Studios, Munich.

Musicians:
Drums: Curt Cress, Bass: Mats Björklund, Günter Gebauer
Git.: Mats Björklund, Johann Daansen
Piano and Keyboards: Kristian Schulze, Harry Baierl, Patrick Gammon, Mats Björklund
Sax: Booby Stern.

La Mama is Madeleine Davis, Patricia Shockley and Cathy Bartney.

Produced by D. Kawohl and M. Björklund For Frank Farian Productions.

Sa. 16.10.2010.: bleepgeeks @ eden feat. Benjamin Roeder(Spectacle/Muc) & Marvin Carl Schuhmann(Tell Your Taxidriver/Muc)




We feel Love! Millions and squillions of records have been played in Munichs gleaming and hedonistic nightlife after Giorgio Moroders synth attacks on Donna Summers hyper sexy voice, which was back in the good old days in the late seventies, were glitter bras seemed to be state of the art and turntables had no pitch function to get abused. And yes, Munich is still one of the most "Disco" cities in Germany and Europe, with great record labels and nightclubs of international shape, fraternally going hand in hand and taking care on the cities heritage for quality electronic music.

Our dear guests Benjamin Roeder and Marvin Carl Schuhmann became integral parts of Munichs underground dance music scene in the last few years. The curly haired simpatico Roeder made big waves with his highly-acclaimed "GLXY" nights were he played memorable sessions alongside well known selectors like Rahaan, Horse Meat Disco and Cosmo Vitelli, just to name a few. His dj-sets grace a lot of clubnights in the most popular spots around munich and europe, making people happy and sweaty. Benjamins newest baby is a music production project with his brother in crime Muallem, which goes by the name "Spectacle", with the objective of sounding out the borders between balearic easiness and jacking floorburners. The results just have seen the lights of the world on friend-label Permanent Vacation.

The renowned crate-digger and beloved gentleman Marvin Carl Schuhmann simply embodies the new force in the dj circuit of the ever-inspiring bavarian capital and he is one of the speer heads of young and aspiring musicians around the glorious city center. Using the Vienna-Munich axis to play back and forth, his clubnight called Tell Your Taxidriver at Erste Liga Club became his most favourite playground, to prove his ability to move people every single week, whether as a dj duo with his mate Valentino or solo as Marvin Bowtie. He is cooking his meals special, with the best ingredients from europe, chiefly italy, and all the other good places, experienced foodies should know.

Let's shake it to the ground!

Seriously looking forward to play for our friends from nme click at the Autonomic Touchdown night!

The Chip - Don't try to change it



Some say the only thing people know about Hannover is "Scorpions". But what happened 1984? Some guys released a very interesting Promo-Sampler about the music scene in that city and around. Then, more was going on. It's filled with some kinky adverts, guitar laden tracks and a killing german funk tune by "THE CHIP". Let the inlay talk (click to enlarge):


I found this record on the flea-market in Hannover, and well, that was my only one i brought back home. Have all the Scorpions-Fans already digged out the funky treasuries in that city? I dunno...

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!
