A lot has been going on at Fremdtunes HQ. First of all, we are about to release the ‘Chocolate Money EP’ 12″ by Kelpe ft remixes by Huess and Coco Bryce on November 22nd. Just recently we released our first album ‘Fremdkunst: b-beats & soundscapes’ (which had a great review in Dutch music-magazine Fret) and November 1st we put out our first vinyl record: ‘Fremdtunes – the series 1′: a 12″ labelsampler with music by DJ Optimus, Coco Bryce ft Gumshoe (The Proov) and Incks (Real Phresh), Kid Sundance and Solo Moderna. Nice to mention: the debut LP ‘Boesoek’ by Coco Bryce (releasedate February 14th 2011) is being mastered by Mokosound and so is ‘Fremdkunst: Zauberschwein by candlelight’. ‘Zauberschwein’ is a digital EP which will be released as – because we are so very generous people - free download on our bandcamp page. Mister Adam must be the most busy man on this planet because he’s doing all covers and designs for these releases, plus he’s working hard on a new expo with his superb project Mashville.
Check out our promo video for Fremdkunst: b-beats & soundscapes – the first, official release by recordlabel Fremdtunes. The video is created by Superelectric & Mister Adam. Share our viral on your facebook profile before 23 September (official releasedate) and we’ll send you (FOR FREE!) a link + downloadcode for the song Maître des disques. Pre-order/order the album at http://www.rushhour.nl/store_detailed.php?item=56410 and enjoy!
OptiMaceVille: invasion of the lettermen - a cooperation between Mashville & OptiMace
Our friends at Mashville just renewed their website, so go ahead, take a look! Mashville is a collaborative art project initiated by Mister Adam and drJay. The two invite people to work with them by exchanging images in order to create a silkscreen print together. They create one image, pass it on to their collaborator to complete/change and get a completely different outcome back. Adam & Jay work on it some more and send it back again. Image ping-pong so to speak. Once satisfied with the outcome Mashville has it printed and out it in the open!
Fremdtunes presents ‘Fremdkunst resonance’: a free download EP on Soundcloud by producer/DJ Mace filled with hiphop-beats, lo-fi samples and spherical melodies.
‘Fremdkunst resonance’ is a mix of old, new and revised tracks and preludes the album ‘Fremdkunst: b-beats & soundscapes’ which will be released in September 2010. The EP consists of funky, jazzy, bit-crushed, distorted, noise-generated, over-compressed, spaced-out beats. DJ Mace produced most songs and was assisted by DJ Optimus, Erwin Vann, Frietboer and Shycop. The EP resonates the sound of previous Fremdkunst tracks and Mace was inspired by The Twilight Zone and the works of Double Dee & Steinski and Bret Easton Ellis. Only the first 100 visitors can download the EP – for free!
Currently we are working hard on getting the first official Fremdtunes release (Fremdkunst: b-beats & soundscapes) published. But before the wait is over we will very soon hit you with some more Fremdkunst music: Fremdkunst resonance. A free download mixed EP with old, new and some revised Fremdkunst tracks. One of these days we will put it on our Soundcloud page, for now you can already check out (and buy!) one of these ‘resonating’ songs at our Bandcamp page.
Novelties from Fremdtunes HQ!
