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.
We are proud to present you a brand new Fremdkunst release! ‘
‘O sweet schwein of mine’ is another free download EP by Fremdkunst. This 6-track EP is part of ‘Zauberschwein im krankenhaus’, a series of EP’s on which DJ Mace, Optimus, Vindictiv and special guests (Nicolas Kummert & René Everts amongst others) are exploring the outer-limits of the nihilistic Fremdkunst-universe.
‘O sweet schwein of mine’ is produced with the help of a variety of instruments like the Technics sl1200, Akai s2800, Fender Rhodes, Cubase, Ableton, Serato, Korg MS-50 & monotron, Roland Juno 106 & 6, Korg Poly-800, SP12, MPC, Yamaha Portasound, saxophone, effect-pedals and an old tape-recorder. Inspiration comes from the works of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Sofia Coppola, Model 500, Daedelus, Doe Maar, Oddissee, Nite Jewel, Jay McInerney, D.A.F., Clifford Brown, Max Stirner, Mulatu Astatke, Tangerine Dream, Hans Otte, Wagon Christ, Thomas Mann, DJ Premier, Sabrina and Halbe Zijlstra.
Today, it’s independence day, so we could tell you to ’stay independent’ and celebrate the indie- and diy-culture, but that’s something we’d like you to decide for yourself. Instead, we celebrate the release of ’Yield & continue’ by Dutch producer Saccage. This release (digital only!) is available on downloadstores like Boomkat, Digital Tunes, Juno & Addictech. Saccage produced two jazzed-up Hip Hop tracks for this debut. ‘Security of misfortune’ dips the listener’s brain in a wistful voyage, while ‘Let it go’ has MC Rude-D distributing some nice, direct vocals on a downtempo Hip Hop beat. Belgium’s finest 40 Winks (Project Mooncircle) remixed ‘Security of misfortune’ and turned it into an authentic tour the force. Coco Bryce (Myor/Fremdtunes) ft DJ Mace remixed ‘Monkey business’ in his perpetual effective way.
Saccage earlier released some great tracks. One of ‘m (together with USA mc Incense) ended up on Tropical Heat Volume 1 by Myor: get this record here. In 2007, Saccage released a limited split EP with Rude-D. There’s only a few copies left: order these here.
We put together a mix for Wax Poetics (one of the greatest musicmagazines since the birth of Christ): reflecting Fremdtunes’ flavor with a soulful, funky, electronic, and beat-heavy trip.

Out now! The long-awaited debut ‘Double Helix DNA’ by DJ Optimus is out now on Fremdtunes. Hip Hop beats rich with Jazz and Funk influences, Turntablism, Electronica and a whole squadron of guests, including Rasco, Prince Po, iET, MC Rise, Maylay Sparks, Mo & Grazz, Gumshoe, GMB, Ill Pro, Nicolas Kummert, Budy Mokoginta and El Da Sensei, are the main ingredients of his debut. Optimus (Rotterdam, The Netherlands) created a complex produced masterpiece, working with a whole variety of (vintage) equipment & instruments and chopping up half the world. So, there you have it: jazzy, funky, energetic, dreamy, straight forward and with the boombap right at its core.
Last night we invited 3 DJ’s (Coco Bryce, DJ Devastate & Solo Moderna) to play at Loos, 013, Tilburg, The Netherlands. Mister Adam painted live and here’s some footage!
One of our guests was Coco Bryce (who did a great skweee and dubstep set). He’s about to release a 7″ on his label Myor by Kelpe who earlier did the Chocolate Money EP on Fremdtunes. You can preview the tracks right here: http://20shotsequence.blogspot.com/2011/06/listen-kelpe-same-new-era-snippets.html. Also, the same fella did a remix for our upcoming release ‘Yield & continue’ by Saccage (also featuring Rude-D & 40 Winks). You can preview the tracks on Juno:
Superelectric and Mister Adam animated a part of the track ‘Pound for pound’ by DJ Optimus ft Prince Po. This song appears on our labelsampler ’Fremdtunes – the series 2′ (out on vinyl) and the forthcoming DJ Optimus debut ’Double Helix DNA’. Since Organized Konfusion’s ‘Fudge Pudge’ Prince Po has been one of our alltime favorite mc’s. If you want to know why, listen to: ‘releasing hypnotical gasses’, ‘bring it on’, ‘last of the greats’ and ofcourse ‘copy cats‘.
Today we officially release the very limited vinyl of ‘Fremdtunes the series 2′. This second edition of our labelsampler series features music by DJ Optimus ft Prince Po (Organized Konfusion!), DJ Devastate ft Segerfalk, Jameszoo, Fremdkunst, Vindictiv and Boulaone.
Listen to the snippet mix on our soundcloud page. Watch the the teaser (by the always-electrifying Superelectric). Mister Adam, the indefatigable, did the great artwork and the silckscreen printing! Read more on this 6-track 12″ right here. Also, scratchedvinyl.com did a review. Read here!
