Circus Company, 2-CD Compilation incl.
Chicago Urban Blues (Live at Café Bohemia)
Release information:
Celebrating 10 years of refining its highly personal vision of underground electronic dance music, Paris’ Circus Company presents Snuggle & Slap, a two-CD compilation balancing contemporary house music with more idiosyncratic submissions. It’s more than just a label sampler: many of the artists included here appear two or even three times, having been afforded the opportunity to think beyond the dancefloor and experiment with new sounds, unusual styles, and secret passions. Hushed funk, feathery beats and spongy textures characterize Snuggle, while Slap [cont. reading]

“A lovely video for a luscious song – funky abstraction – orthagonal dynamics – ellesworth kelly groove – superflat supersmooth supersoothing supersensual suprematism for superposers – orchestration of dissolve – a duet for a square and a rectangle – a score for fade and dissolve – a dialogue for a frame and an edge” – Kodwo Eshun
The Homewreckers and are doing it soulful and timeless again. And so does guest remixer Mike Huckaby. Anyone into any sort of deep electronic music has got to own this. “Home Wreckers (Rework)” and “Wreckers (Delight)” on Side A both have the perfect balance of lush pads, a driving kick drum and an awesome scruffy and raw bassline that makes you feel like you live in a perfect world for the duration of the track. Great house music with sublime references to jazz, soul and disco. » » » »
“American Ruhr”, recorded at a former convenience store in the heart of Gelsenkirchen, creates an original, absolutely unique sound which seems to come straight out of a feverish dream populated by the ghostlike figures of Larry Graham, Juan Atkins, Frank Hütter, Bernard Edwards, Erik B. or Al Green. Guest appearances at the mic by the fantastic Kemo from Düsseldorf/Chicago, Neil Harris, aka Atlantis, label manager of Underground Resistance, and Dennis Legree from Cologne/N.Y.C make this album complete. The artwork was done by Cory Arcangel, a young digital artist from Brooklyn. The liner notes were written by Kodwo Eshun.
“Das wird mal ein Klassiker. Wächst und wächst und wächst. – Debug
“Fabelhaftes Album. Die Homewreckers verfügen über den eigenen Groove. Das hat mehr Mut als all die gesampleten Drumpatterns, denen man täglich so begegnet. – Groove
“Sensationelle Vorstellung. – Raveline

The harmonic and rhythmic advances together with Kemo’s great lyrics make the rework of “American Ruhr” as emotionally contemporary as the latest world crisis. It comes with startingly deep and effective, but subtly structured, shifting rhythms and meters, with great energy, movement and grace. And, most important, with a bassline that will last FOREVER! » » » »
