Kid Sundance, known for his work with Dudley Perkins, Busy Bee and Boomoperators and releases on Jazzy Sport, Fremdtunes and Clone, just finished his pre-masters for his upcoming LP on Fremdtunes. Stay tuned for more!

After the Juno-recommended ‘The Machine Regrets’ by Pierce Warnecke, Boomkat-recommended ‘SEE-A-SOUND’ LP and the Satellite-featured ‘Tinderbox’ EP by Big Mister Doom, we’re all ready and set for the next release on February 13: ‘Ti Amo (De La Fonque)‘ by R&R Grooove Xpress. Kid Sundance & R0nes are the two masterminds who form R&R Grooove Xpress and they’re showing their Funky Electro/Disco/Boogie roots on this absolute dancefloorfiller. This is the first official R&R Grooove Xpress song (the vocal version already appeared on the SEE-A-SOUND LP). Currently, Kid Sundance and R0nes are finishing the video for this record and are working hard on new material. Meanwhile, follow them on Facebook, suck on this sweet lollipop and ‘balla‘!

Also, we updated our bandcamp page: you can now stream and/or download: DJ Optimus – Double Helix DNA and the SEE-A-SOUND LP.

For those who live near Tilburg and/or Eindhoven: this Friday designer-duo Graphic Surgery and artist/producer Kelpe (through Skype) will share their knowledge about making music, graphic design, working together at bkkc, Tilburg (starting at 20.00). Afterward, we’re all heading to ‘De Hoogste Tijd’ in Eindhoven, celebrating the release of ‘Ti Amo‘.

And that’s the Fremdcast for today!

Big Mister Doom’s Ian Scott and Joe Wretham bring detailed, rich and deeply textured electronic music on their début EP ‘Tinderbox‘. Taking influence from genres including Minimal Techno, IDM and Leftfield Hip Hop, the two introduce the listener to their vast universe of music. The title-track evolves from a subtle yet flammable, groovy tune into an absolute dancefloor filler. The two take it downtempo on the atmospheric, mellow ‘Wilderness’.
Pierce Warnecke flexes his muscles and chops, screws, tweaks until ‘Tinderbox‘ sounds like it’s been revisited by skilful aliens. OptiMace combines forces with guitar player Budy Mokoginta and singer-songwriter iET, making ‘Wilderness’ sound like an adventurous ride into the wild. The eye-catching artwork is done by Cameron Steward.

In 2010 Big Mister Doom self-released their self-titled EP; a dense and articulate exploration of electronic music. Since then they’ve been remixing work of artists like Eskimo Twins, Muskoaka, Pierce Warnecke (FR2012-01), OptiMace (FR2011-08) and Paper Tiger (on Jus Like Music), working on live performances and preparing new material for 2012.

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 Juno, Rush 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!

Also, DJ Mace did a mix with tunes of artists who are (in)directly related to the artists who participate in SEE-A-SOUND for Laid Back in collaboration with Thefindmag. You’ll find tunes by Mo & Grazz, Kid Sundance, OptiMace, Sina, Kelpe, Architeq, Brigitte Fontaine, Spartan Lover, KRSUR, Solo Moderna, Coco Bryce and many others. Enjoy!

In the meantime, the opening of SEE-A-SOUND is nearing (this Friday) and you pre-listen some of the tracks. Kelpe uploaded his ‘Inklitter‘, he created in collaboration with Graphic Surgery. Stream it here! And Fremdkunst’s DJ Mace collaborated with Boris ‘Delta‘ Tellegen. You can stream and download the track ‘Transit Line Ecstacy‘ for free.

Another SEE-A-SOUND participant (and soon to be releasing his SoFar EP on Fremdtunes, an EP on Up My Alley and a collabo with Memotone on Project Mooncircle), Glasgow producer Soosh, just joined Mixed Bizness for bookings worldwide. Read more about it!

That’s the Fremdcast for today. Stay healthy!

Get the digital version at Amazon, Boomkat, Digital Tunes, DJ Tunes, Juno, Red Eye Records or any other online store. Vinyl lovers can order the 12″ at Rush Hour or go directly to your favorite vinyl store and ask for this extremely limited record.

Electronic Funk, Glitch-hop and a touch of Dubstep & Jazz from Berlin’s musical mastermind Pierce Warnecke on his new mini-album ‘The Machine Regrets’, out on Fremdtunes on January 19 2012. Warnecke fuses vibrant melodies and bouncy beats, authentically composed and inspired by the story of a machine gaining consciousness, only to see that it’s more of a burden than a benefit to one’s being. To finalize ‘The Machine Regrets’, Pierce Warnecke invited London’s beat-brainiac Kelpe and French ambassadors of Funk Baron Retif & Concepcion Perez to remix the title-song. Leeds-based duo Big Mister Doom wonderfully re-blended the song ‘Re-processed’.
