P&M Album on Sasse's Mood Music - Same Monkeys Different Zoo

Jun 14, 2010

moodcd12

Nils Penner and John Muder produced their first 4-Track Demo CD in August 2007.
Produced in the Suol Studios in East-Berlin for fun rather than with a full-blown business plan, Sasse signed 2 tracks of this demo for his Moodmusic imprint.
„Are You Lost“ became Penner+Muders first vinyl 12“ release. It got great reactions from the dj community and the Bside „Millenium Falcon“ was picked by electro-maestro Oliver Huntemann himself for his Mix Compilation „Play 02! Live at Rex / Paris“.
At this time John and Nils made the decision to only

Media and DJ comments

Steller — “Terrence Ep, Johnny D Remix” on SOWESO

Fe=derico Molinari (Oslo): “Johnny´s mix for me”

Jamie Jones (Crosstown Rebels,: “Really digging the Johnny D remix here. very subtle good use of a way over used sample. will be supporting the remix.”

Jimpster (Freerange): “Been playing the orgi of Terrence every set for a few weeks now. really solid house track that creates a nice vibe with the well known Think Twice sample. solid track.”

Karotte (CocoonGreat Stuff): “johnny d. rmx rocks the crowd. amazing remix!”

Stefan Goldmann (Macro): “Both originals are cool!”

Nick Solé — “Beautiful Day Ep” on FAUXPAS MUSIK

Aera: “You are my live is a future classic! Loving the whole ep. Dankeschön!”

Dplay: “Killer Release ! Full Support”

Dubbyman: “i played it in the Freerotation festival also i used one of the tracks for my last podcast for Dj broadcast magazine. big support to your label man, please be in touch and let me know about the next releases... ”

Gerd Janson: “Catching Nick Solé for the third release, Fauxpas extends it's lovely range to Solés very well executed dub and echo heavy vibes. Sharp and precise record. It's looking good for Fauxpas Musik.”

JR: “Deep melodic, very cool!”

Langenberg: “next fantastic nick solé release ! love all tracks - full support !”

Michael DJ Broadcast: “New release by Nick Solé, with three atmosferic tracks that keep on trucking. The tracks slowly build up, to keep on going strong for a long time. Except for You Are My Life, that stops the clock before it reaches five minutes. But just as the other tracks it’s melodic and deep. Someone told us it’s summer? Keep them Fauxpas Musik coming please.”

Resident Advisor - Todd Burns: “Nick Solé has made a habit of parceling out his material slowly, similar in manner to the pace of his considered dubby house music. The 40-something began his production career in 2005, and, as such, doesn't seem to have the same careerist itch that many youngsters might. He's content to work on his tracks until they sound exactly as he wants them. (Literally: He's also mastered Beautiful Day as well.) His debut for Hamburg's Faux Pas imprint follows in the wake of excellent work from Desolate and Mittekill, and completes what the label is calling their "coloured vinyl trilogy." It's hard to discern exactly what ties these releases together, but Solé's release nonetheless remains true to his own sound: "Earth" slowly reveals its elements, content to drift along. "Beautiful Day" recalls Blaze's classic and the hazy vocals of Superpitcher's "Tomorrow" as it plots a course towards either sunrise or sunset. (It even comes complete with a bird tweeting in there too, just in case you didn't get the point.) Last, but certainly not least, "You Are My Life" injects a bit of funk into Solé's deep template, the sampled female vocalist buoyed by an upfront bassline. Yet another solid release from this underrated producer.”

Sven Weisemann: “Solé style, Nothing to say more”

youAndMe: “wonderful new fauxpas with 3 timless beauties! fauxpas is getting more and more to one of our favourite labels! thx.”

Dubbyman — “Dubodenal Ep, Above Smoke Rmx” on QUINTESSENTIALS

6th Borough Project: “Goovemanhour has the instant appeal....soul galore!”

Ashley Beedle: “Solid EP. Would be cool if THE DASH QUEEN had a mix with beats as well. Above Smoke is also a killer. Big Support.”

Sascha Dive — “Restless Nights” on DEEP VIBES

Federico Molinari: “the album of the year!”

Fresh Meat / Berlin Mitte Ins: “Well made, deep typical Sascha Dive style album. Those who like his sound, will love this album. Only got the CD, hopefully the vinyl comes with the next promo package ;-)”

Gerd Janson (Running Back): “Well done dance floor synopsis of Sascha Dive's trademark sounds and gestures. ”

Jamie Jones (Crosstown Rebels,: “Some nice tracks on here, good stuff.”

Jimpster: “restless nights indeed! serious late night, slightly paranoid, heads down grooves for those who refuse to leave the party! loving a lot of the tracks but my fave is still Jus Groove which i've played a lot the last 6 months or so. Hey Joe is lovely too.”

Karotte: “i play the album since weeks. bomb alert!!! sascha at it´s best!!!”

Loco Dice: “Full Support buddy !!! ”

Marc Miror: “1000 dank. full support von mir! ”

Resident Advisor: “Frankfurt-based house artist Sascha Dive is set to release his debut album, Restless Nights, late this summer. For the past few years, Dive has been a go-to producer for stripped down, US house-inspired tracks, many of which contributed to the deep house resurgence at the end of the last decade. He rose to fame with cuts like "Deepest America" and "Annihilating Rhythm," while releasing artists like Scott Ferguson and Brothers' Vibe on his own label, Deep Vibes Recordings. He is a stalwart of the so-called Rhein-Main school of producers, and last year boosted his DJ credentials with From Frankfurt to Mannehim, a two-disc compilation he mixed with Reboot. Restless Nights boasts eight new tunes by Dive, plus two that we already know: "Jus Groove" and "The Get Out of the Ghetto Blues," recently released on Tsuba and Raum... musik respectively. Based on the tracklist, the album seems similar in motif to last year's controversial Panther EP. ”

Sebo K (Mobilee): “great job sascha! full support.”

Tobi Neumann (Cocoon): “90 Punkte! Respekt für Sascha für dieses Album. Hatte es auch schon in meinen letzten Groove Charts drin.”

Tom Clark: “super album. kann mich aber noch nicht entscheiden welches stück mein lieblingsstück ist. danke”
