DAS CHAOS IST IN ORDNUNG
by
Nepumuk
About
Das Chaos beschäftigt uns seit jeher — als Spezies und als Individuum. Vor ziemlich genau zweitausendsiebenhundert Jahren schrieb der griechische Oldschooler Hesiod: „Wahrlich, zuerst entstand das Chaos und später die Erde …“, ein Kollege berichtigte, das Chaos werde nicht geboren, sondern sei ursächlich. Aber wie verhalten wir uns diesen Erkenntnissen gegenüber? Gute Frage. Mit der neuen 10“ von Nepumuk werdet ihr dem Chaos nicht Frau oder Herr, aber das wird euch egal sein. Denn auf zwölf Tracks in 27 Minuten gibt der Nepumuk klar zu verstehen, dass das Chaos in Ordnung ist. Nicht weil es geil oder wünschenswert wäre, sondern weil es die existenzielle Grundlage jeder Punchline ist. Die sitzen, bringen Perspektive ins Chaos — setzen es in Bezug zur herrschenden Realität, bis klar wird, dass Chaos und Lebensrealität ein und dasselbe sind: Leider doch nicht in Ordnung.

BEATS ON BOAT VOL.1
by
Compilation
About
Just when you thought it was all street the beats got nautical. Beats on Boat vol 1 is a double vinyl accompaniment to the eponymous YouTube series in which artists from across the globe are invited by us to play and make waves on the dark waters of Berlin’s Spree and Landwehr Canal. The first vinyl is a glass bottomed tour of the warm turquoise shoreline, jazzy hip-hop and lo-fi in aquamarine. The second vinyl is a voyage into the unfamiliar, as those same artists set sail for new and exotic rhythms. Suddenly we’re four sheets to the wind on four to the floor. House at port, disco at starboard. Featuring the boat rocking sounds of FloFilz, Made in M, Melodiesinfonie, Lunchbag, illiterate, Juan RIOS, iamalex & Hazy Year. Limited to just 400 copies with sea worthy masters from digitalluc. Beats on Boat vol 1 will take you 12 miles out!

SLICE OF PARADISE
by
Figub Brazlevič & Klaus Layer
About
Slice Of Paradise is a punchy collaboration from two heavyweights of the Berlin beat scene. Figub Brazlevič and Klaus Layer combine masterfully to create an album which feels so well constructed it’s almost architectural. This is the work of hip-hop veterans at the top of their game. Sturdy foundations of bass and percussion built upon layer by layer until the final samples, painstakingly placed by chopsticks and tweaked with tweezers. Each sound carefully selected to consider light and space, resistance and stability. Slice Of Paradise is a melodious metropolis, riding elevated rhythms. A riot of features populate this album; Teknical Development.IS, Kwam E, Ace Tee, Fanatic, Don-Tox, Aylin, No Rules Clan, Fadi Ammous, Reverie, DJ Kopfschuss and DJ Maxi Scratch provide cuts and vocals in this city's many native tongues; English, German, French, Spanish and Arabic. Also including instrumental versions of each track featuring vocals, clean lines mastering by Mark Pfurtscheller and original artwork by Madeline Chilici and Benne Basquiat (Krekpek).

LA UNE
by
Hals Ost
About
Ich bin voll Down, wie ein Sofakissen!“ Hier gehts straight up um den Vibe. Jazzy Samples, rougher Mix und holpernde Reime, die obskure Punshlines transportieren. Der teils mondäne, aber sehr nasty daherkommende Duktus der Raps erinnert an ausgelassene Freestyle Sessions und auch der Truismus „Rappen ist nicht Denken“, gibt klar zu verstehen worum es hier geht: Um die Instanthaltung der Realness. Und auf La Une gibt es viel davon zu hören. Wahrheiten, Räuberpistolen und vor allem feine Samples. Auf fünfzehn Tracks, von denen nur einer, die kommerziell so wichtigen, drei Minuten überschreitet, kommt es doppeldick. Soundfetzen und Schüttelreime kommen in ungeahnter Freshness zusammen, so dass man bis zum Schluss gespannt ist, was einen noch alles treffen wird, denn „Hals Ost trink auch Most bei Frost“.
