Another unholy Alliance!!

Wednesday, May 1st, 2013

time for another unholy alliance, yalls!
this time I was teaming up with cartoonist, musician and very good friend Ralph Ruthe. most of you dear readers should know him for his excellent cartoons and his website ‘Shit Happens’ (if not, you’ve got to catch that up qickly!!).

some of you might know, that Ralph is also an magnificent songwriter. he produces catchy electronic popmusic already for ages and he plays & performs them recently with his band ‘We Are Linus’, where I’m also a part of.

once upon a time I did some remixes for two of Ralph’s tunes (Du bist wie Sand & 10 More Miles ). Ralph liked the remixes a lot and sent me a collab-track named ‘Old Times’ where I should put my fingers on.
I took that tune and send it completely thru the shredder – I added some synths, a spoonful of acid and edited until the doctor came. ;)
here’s the result: a catchy, ravey and ill dancetrack with lots of oldschool house- and electroflavours.
enjoy!!

Do you know L064N 5??

Monday, September 3rd, 2012

we’re gliding into september smoothly with a brandnu sideproject of mine – it’s settled somewhere in the glitchy and chilled realms of downtempo music and I named it ‘L064N 5‘.

some of you dear readers might know Logan 5 as the main character of the classic 1976′ movieLogan’s Run‘ (in german: Flucht ins 23. Jahrhundert).

when I saw this movie for the first time in my life I was tender 8 years old and it had massive impact on me. the distopic vision of a totally controlled society, where nobody gets older than 30 years (to keep the population under control) scared & fascinated me at the same time.
years later when I saw ‘Logan’s Run‘ again it still had the same effect on me.

I remembered it when I was working on new stuff lately – the sounds where somehow sci-fi, yet chilled and calm, sometimes even a bit eerie and I decided to digest my impressions of the movie in my new project.
L064N 5 was born. :)

come and checkout L064N 5 on soundcloud! here are some sounds below vvvvv:
L064N 5 – Z00M

L064N 5 – Junk Eat Junk

L064N 5 – Jess

(more on soundcloud!)

he’s also got a facebook-page already – show him some love! ;)

enjoy!

p.s.: there are also some fragments of the movieLogan’s Run‘ in the latest videoclip of $upra-Recordings artist ‘DE▲D††BUT††DRE▲MING‘ – check out his clip for his track ‘Desire‘!

Nu weird Video by Phantomsignal!!

Friday, July 20th, 2012

strange signals are breaking thru the clouds, most of them aren’t even real – they’re only matter of your imagination and subconscious perception. so, it’s really difficult to talk about those phenomenons cause they aren’t really tangible.

but there are two guys who have this ability of sorcery to make the subconsciousness visible in an acoustic way: I’m talking bout ‘Phantomsignal’.

last year they had their debut release ‘Testbild E.P.’ here on $upra Recordings and they’ve also some brand nu stuff in the pipeline.
but for now we have a videoclip for a track from their latest E.P.

the clip is for the track ‘Atomkonzentrat‘ and was made by ‘gltchflxx‘, a swiss couple doin strange & slightly disturbing, glitchy, lofi video-art which carries the spirit of VHS inside.

the following clip shows you the bizarre choreography of backward slo-mo explosions & detonations, paired with the spooky, glitchy ambient drone house sound by Phantomsignal this is a fatal experience

also checkout the ‘Testbild E.P.‘ by Phantomsignal below vvvv:

the girls & guys of gltchflxx came to me via my wordpress blog – they’re currently working on their website – if you liked the clip stay tuned for updates here!
they also did a mindmelting clip for my tune ‘Dreams com true (feat. Cara McQueen)‘ – enjoy that too!

get that tune from my ‘Exit Planet D.I.S.C.O E.P.‘ below vvvv:

share, download, listen, buy !!
thx!

Another brandnu Remix!!

Monday, June 4th, 2012

we’re kicking off june with another bangin’ brandnu remix – how sweeet is that? ;)

this time it’s a remix for my peeps of ‘Raketenkind‘.
Raketenkind‘ are Winni Hoggenmüller & Timo Warken from Berlin/Bielefeld and they’re hailing the world with their very special mixture of power-electro-pop with 80′s/90′s influences & even flavours like dubstep f.e.

their brandnu single ‘Im Frühtau zu Berge’ (UAE! No-Records) has recently hit the stores, the digital ones and even the real recordstores, and it’s a true blast!

I don’t want to talk bullshit bout their sound – how about you dear readers discover it yourself by checking out their brandnu videoclip for ‘Im Frühtau zu Berge‘ below vvvvv:

and here’s what I did – I speeded up the overall tempo a bit and created a somehow electropop/electroclash remix. starting over a bit pop-ish & then twisting & turning it into some distorted dadaistic electrobanger. :)
I effed around with the vocals pretty much – it was lots of fun! hope you enjoy my remix! vvvv

there’s a load of additional remixes on the single by artists like my mate Franqee, Phonraum, Das Flug, etc.
checkout, buy and/or download the complete singlerelease below:

and of course on
iTunes, Amazon and UAE! No-Records.

A very special nu tiny little $upra Release!!

Monday, April 23rd, 2012

back on track with a very, very special $upra Release!

why special? coz this release is the theme from the beautiful shortfilm ‘Rubber Soul‘ directed by outstanding filmmaker, photographer and good friend Lennart Selle.

‘Rubber Soul’ is a shortfilm about the young little boy Jonas (starring Maik Wittlif), music-lover & on the cusp of puberty, who takes a look out of the box of his sheltered existence and discovers the quite different social and musical world of the neighbor girl Helen (starring Friederike Wolf).
He notes that a new phase of life is about to begin and it friggin’ creeps him out, sometimes…

while the film captures the recipient already from the first seconds with smooth and gentle pictures, cuts and camera-rides, it has also a perfect matching soundtrack featuring the sweet sonic music of Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti and a tune created by Allen N. Restle & myself, featuring the gorgeous vocals of PUCH‘s leadsinger Cara McQueen.
this tune named ‘Helen’s Theme‘ appears when the recipient & Jonas discover Helen for the first time.

while the whole film is spiked with 80′s nostalgia, the whole soundtrack of ‘Rubber Soul’ completes this feel.
Rubber Soul‘ was nominated for the ‘Goldener Reiter’ in the categories ‘Best national Film‘ and also for the best soundtrack as the only german shortfilm on the filmfestival in Dresden.

Rubber Soul‘ is a must-see-shortmovie! unfortunately it is not available online for now, but if you are curious about the film, take a peek at the sweet making-of, made by Daniel Gerlich:

because of the huge positive feedback on the soundtrack Lennart & I decided to release ‘Helen’s Theme‘ as a digital single on $upra Recordings.

Listen, download, buy & share ‘Helen’s Theme’ on bandcamp:

there’s also a more clubrelated remix of ‘Helen’s Theme‘ named ‘Dreams Come True‘ available on my 2010 release ‘Exit Planet D.I.S.C.O.‘ – grab it below:

thx & enjoy!!

Brandnu Remix!!

Monday, March 26th, 2012

it’s time for a brandnu remix. 2 years ago in summer I already did a remix for this guy who is also a good friend of mine – I’m talking about Ralph Ruthe.

Ralph is well known for his funny cartoons – read more about Ralph HERE.

his tune named ‘10 More Miles‘ is a catchy & dancey disco/electrohouse track with vocals by Pete Quest and is featured in the middle & the end of one of his latest cartoons named ‘Die HNO WG – Folge 4‘ – check it out below VVVVV:

also checkout & download his complete original song on iTunes.

my darkdancer remix goes in a slightly darker & retro-house-ish direction and was intended as a thanksgiving-free-download for all who bought Ralph’s original tune. unfortunately the free-download-option on soundcloud expires already on the count of 100, if you are a free soundcloud-user…

so for now you’re only able to listen to my remix – but there’s still good news: if you like my darkdancer-remix & want to have it, simply write a message and I’ll send it over to you! send an email to hell-g (at) hell-g (dot) com. ;)

if you missed my remix two years ago for Ralph’s tune ‘Du bist wie Sand‘, check it out HERE !

enjoy!!

Nu DE▲D††BUT††DRE▲MING videoclip!!

Monday, March 19th, 2012

we’re kicking off this upcoming new week with brandnu & gorgeous visual material by our beloved $upra artist DE▲D††BUT††DRE▲MING aka hans luegeheu.

DE▲D††BUT††DRE▲MING released his first official & selftitled longplayer last year in november on $upra Recordings (read more about it HERE! ) and also dropped a video for his first single ‘Penitence‘ parallel to the release (if you haven’t seen it already, watch it now HERE! ).

his new video is for the dreamy, chilled and slow tune ‘Desire‘, one of my absolutely faves from his album.
the video was again cut by his pal ‘NTSC/DC‘ who also did the clip for ‘Penitence’ and he did a freakin’ awesome job again on this, taking fragments from old sci-fi & horror flics to fit the allover dark & gloomy atmosphere of hans’ tunes – the most splendid combination ever. :)

and now enjoy the video!

also checkout, listen, download & buy ‘DE▲D††BUT††DRE▲MING’ on bandcamp!
