WEATHER FREMDCAST 11042012

April 11, 2012

It really isn’t the type of weather to spend time outside the office, so it’s time for another Weather Fremdcast! No guest-mix this time, but we do have the new monthly mix by DJ Mace (Serato broke down, so it’s more of a cut-and-paste-collection). All nocturnal tunes by artists like Soosh, Electric Barbarian, Mr. Brown, Lee Spacey, Max Roach and two exclusive demo-tracks by Coco Bryce and Julian Edwardes. Ecoute!

Recently, the Fremdtunes mailbox flooded with interesting, less-interesting and mind-blowing music. Here’s a few that stood out:

It’s cold outside, so let us turn up the heat a little.

Last week we had the privalage to open the expo ‘SEE-A-SOUND‘ at bkkc, in Tilburg (NL). The 10 subliminal works by the designers and 10 musical pieces were exposed (and will be until April 20). DJ Jameszoo turned knobs, twisted his sounds and sent a bunch of wicked tunes into the expo-space. Rodney Kasandikromo and dance-crew did a colorful performance and the phenomenal trumpeter Eric Vloeimans collaborated with our own DJ Optimus on a super-funky space-jam. And of course we were happy to welcome a whole crowd of enthusiastic visitors who enjoyed the works, beer and performances.

At the same time, we celebrated the release of the ‘SEE-A-SOUND’ 2 x LP/digital release. You can order the album and/or silckscreenprints at bkkc. Stream and download DJ Mace’s ‘Transit Line Ecstacy‘ for free. All the tracks are available at Boomkat, iTunes, Juno and other online stores. The LP can also be ordered at JunoRush Hour, Antenne Tilburg and Sounds.

Also, to celebrate the opening of the expo DJ Mace did a mix for Laid Back. Laid Back, subsequently and in collaboration with Thefindmag who did a great job on putting together the magazine for SEE-A-SOUND, booked an add in the magazine and asked their designer (Oli B) to do a mix of tunes he was inspired by! Ecoute!

We could go on for days, but really, there’s work to do, so we have to sign off, but not without reminding you about our first upcoming digital release by Big Mister Doom! Enjoy!

WEATHER FREMDCAST 19122011

December 19, 2011

Rouding up our business for 2011 we gladly like to share some news with you.

On January 27nd Fremdtunes will release with Mashville and bkkc the 2xLP ‘SEE-A-SOUND’ with music by Coco Bryce, DJ Grazzhoppa, DJ Mace, DJ Optimus, Jameszoo, Julian Edwardes, Kelpe, Kid Sundance, Solo Moderna and Soosh. The record is currently being pressed, but we don’t want to keep these snippets away from you. So take a pre-listen! And after that: pre-order!

In the meantime we’re preparing other releases: the definitive tracks for two digital releases recently arrived at Fremdtunes HQ. The first release is the mindblowing Big Mister Doom’s 4-track single ‘Tinderbox’ with ‘b-side’ Wilderness, out on February 4th. Our Berlin-based friend Pierce Warnecke remixed the title-track; OptiMace remixed ‘Wilderness’ with the help of iET (vocals/trumpet) and Budy Mokoginta on guitar. The other tracks we received were by Japanese beat-warrior Emufucka. His 4-track single ‘Planar Rift’ will be out on March 22nd 2012. Special guests are St. Andrew (US) and DZA (RU) who both wonderfully remixed Emufucka’s tracks.

Then there’s the usual good music we need to share with you. Let’s start with the brand new free release SATURATED! VOL. 2 on Saturate Records (Hamburg) with one hell of a track by KRSUR and Coco Bryce and much more brainsmuthering tunes. Free music comes from our main man Solo Moderna too, who did a Shis Kebab Yéyé (Solo Moderna Kebabington Garage Ritmo remix). And more outstanding gratuit soulfood is to be found at producer Beatsofreen & mc Medaforacle‘s bandcamp page.

Well, let’s keep it there. Stay fresh, stay dry, stay tuned!
