With „ˇadelante!“, Audio Lotion step out into the world and delivered an outstanding piece of multifaceted latin sounds which enthused a much wider audience. Supported by sexy vocal parts, sappy horn arrangements, and versatile percussionists, Audio Lotion delivered truly first class New Latin sounds. „ˇadelante!“ was produced in their own recording studio with Bo Kendren (who mastered e.g. the outstanding Jazzanovas Remixes) adding the final touch. Feathery grooves and catchy melodies keep on surprising the listener from track to track, giving rise to sensual desire, spreading pure magic and delivering tales of love and lust and pain. Refreshingly different from the wasteland of all the other Latin clones out there. Elegant, jazzy and verrry, verrry sexy.
Naomi - Pappelallee (LPS 2)On their second album „Pappelallee“ Berlin duo Naomi (Bernd Lechler and Nico Tobias) delivered 11 personal and charming songs situated somewhere between pop and sophisticated electronic music. The warm and touching sound nests pleasantly in auditory canals making the album feel familiar even at first listening. When diving deeper into Naomi’s universe you soon discover a great variety of influences and contrasting elements. The songs are intense, the arrangement is compact and the sound distinctive. „Pappelallee“ is sometimes bizarre but always catchy, profound but highly accessible, melancholic but consoling. Plus, the moving Electropop jewel „King Kong Is Not Dead“ comes as an extra feelgood song.
nor elle - Phantom Of Life (LPS 3)When nor elle´s debut album "Phantom Of Life" was released in march 1998, it was still kept a secret, that the producer of the album was Norman Feller aka Terry Lee Brown Junior - the House DJ and producer from Darmstadt (near Frankfurt/Germany) who has had a severe impact on the develop-ment and rise of the genre Tech-House. Under the pseudonym nor elle, he stayed more than true to the Mole subheading "Listening Pearls" and employed structures from diverse musical backgrounds: stopping by at Dub and then straight again into Downbeat. It is especially due to the focus on Downbeat what makes nor elle´s music so completely different from that of his much better known other alter ego.
