WEATHER FREMDCAST 2112011
November 2, 2011
A lot of water falling from the sky, so it’s time for another Weather Fremdcast.
We’d like to kick off with some more news on SEE-A-SOUND. The first results (soundbites and sketches) of the collaborations are to be viewed/listend to on www.seeasound.com. Mister Adam and Coco Bryce ping-ponged chopped up audio-files and graphic forms. Boris Tellegen screen-printed, during the Dutch Design
Week, his reaction to DJ Mace’s dusty, offbeat sound-design. And it seems that Attak and Grazzhoppa formed a new superhero-team. Find out about the collaborations right here: http://seeasound.com/samenwerkingen/en/ and Thefindmag introduces you to the project right here.
As we mentioned before: November 24rd 2011 we’ll release the tremendously limited 7″ OptiMace, the future is not what it used to be – part 1. Big Mister Doom, KRSUR and Illy Symphony did a great job on the music, as did Mister Adam on the artwork. Plus: we’ve uploaded snippets on soundcloud:
Meanwhile, at Fremdtunes HQ, we’re looking ahead and can tell you: 2012 is going to be stacked with new music coming from Pierce Warnecke, Soosh, Kelpe, Big Mister Doom, Baron Retif & Concepcion Perez, Kid Sundance, Moods, Emufucka, Coco Bryce and many more. But before we’re sucked into the new year, Fremdkunst will release the last EP in the series ‘Zauberschwein im krankenhaus‘ called ‘Like Zauberhulk’ in December 2011.
To finish this post, we’ll update you on some new music: another nice, free download by Coco Bryce – Be Mine, must-have, upcoming release by Sina on Project Mooncircle, new, superb drum ‘n bass by Relay & Front out on Rub A Duck soon and make sure you’ll download this: http://swiftmusic.bandcamp.com/album/super-feelers.
So, enjoy the weather and stay tuned.

WEATHER FREMDCAST 15082011
August 15, 2011Some novelties from Fremdtunes HQ!
First of all, today, Breda’s Black Hole Recordings (co-founded by a certain individual called DJ Tiësto) releases Dunugoz-vs-tha-Roofas’ Anita’s Theme (Come On People) a remix EP based on a sample of a classic track by Dutch celebrity singer Anita Meyer. Fremdkunst did a remix and re-blended the song ‘Nostos & Algos’ with the stems. We had a lot of fun doing this…so, sit back, listen, enjoy.
Kelpe (who released his Chocolate Money EP on Fremdtunes last year) put out a superb 7” (with a remix by Nino) on Coco Bryce’s label Myor. A very limited release so make sure you get it right here.
Fremdtunes co-founder DJ Optimus (Double Helix DNA) has been working close to singer-songwriter iET, alongside Budy Mokoginta. As a recording artist and on stage. This talented lady just released her Kitchen Recordings via iTunes and it’s a definite must-have.
Last but not least, we’d like to inform you about our first upcoming release, the digital single ‘The Machine Serves’ by Pierce Warnecke. We just received the masters…yeh! Previously, Pierce released music on BEE recordings. We put this release on this month’s Fremdtunes Juno chart.
