Keyser & Shuriken - newsletter #37: Lalo has fun with this
Newsflash 16.10.2000
Dear friends,
You might have realised that in the last weeks there was not much going on
around here (resulting short bullshit newsletters). Returning back from
Germany we finally have so much to let you know, that this newsletter will
go on for pages.
First of all we would like to thank the invitations, hospitality (and bags
of promos) to our German friends: Michael, Theo and Florian @ Into
Somethin'/Compost (Munich) and the whole Bogaloo/Spinning Wheel bunch
(Pfarrkirchen). Big up to all that came down to see us djing!
We would also like to warn those who will have the opportunity to play for
the friendly crowd of Bogaloo (real living room atmosphere, people head
nodding to djs from around the world in a building that used to be the
cinema of the Bavarian small town with 13.000 inhabitants). Don't go
anywhere near the superb Spinning Whell record store if you don't want to
blow twice the money you earned at the club the night before (no matter how
big discount these guys give you, their impressive selection include dozens
Soul/Jazz/HipHop/Brazilian/NuJazz/EasyListening LPs and 12"s and 7"s you
were dieing to buy in the last few years).
One more thing we have learnt in Pfarrkirchen: Space Night (check out
http://www.br-online.de/wissenschaft/spacenight/) is the perfect program to
watch when you're chilling out after a long Saturday night spent in a club.
BR (Bayerische Rundfunk) broadcasts this program via satellites. So those
of you who live in Europe might have a chance to catch this show consisting
of moving pictures of the Earth shot from outer space accompanied by the
most spliffed out trip hop tunes (aviable on CDs) ever made (also some
blurred spoken words blending in sometimes in German but we couldn't really
understand them at that point of the night).
To stay in space for one more paragraph: some of you have probably seen the
e-mail questionnaire that tried to get your definition of Jazzanova's music
(probably for the booklet of the remix collection). We were too late
answering that, but yesterday night Shuriken have found what he thinks
describes best the music of the German dj/producer team. Now we would like
to share it with all of you (so that the true knowledge will be spread):
Jazzanova makes by our definition Berlin Space Bass music.
We also had the opportunity to check out Yonderboi's latest work. Our
Hungarian friend has just finished the soundtrack to the 15 minutes promo
version of a Hungarian feature film, called Anna és az Aranyváros (Anna and
the Golden City). The forceful black and white pictures (shot in Bulgaria)
accompanied by Yonderboi's splendid retro grooves have reminded us of some
Italian movies of the sixties (the film material is likely to be also used
for the forthcoming video of Yonder's Road Movie track). This promo piece
is made to raise money for making the whole movie (they have intended to
shoot most of it in Berlin), and we would be glad to put any of you - who
can help in finding those who might help financing this picture - in touch
with the makers of this film. Drop us an e-mail!
This week's reading is from the liner notes of The Liquidator (a Lalo
Schiffrin Soundtrack that Shuriken was looking for for ages and found at
the Spinning Wheel store):
"Bikini-clad nymphs prance around a French Riviera Hotel swimming-pool to
the strains of Bikini Waltz.
(...)
Casino Rhapsody. Gypsy music, sobbing violins. Lalo has fun with this.
(...)
Boysie is making love to a beautiful girl in his apartment while the flute
version of his favourite music, Boysie's Bossa, comes from his favourite
mechanical invention: the phonograph."
Keep on making love to the sounds coming from your phonograph till next
week!
