Browse by Label: FORMRESONANCE (GERMANY)


Artist: FEDERLEICHT
Title: ModeRn Dada
Label: FORMRESONANCE (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $12.00
Catalog #: FORM 001EP
Florian Schirmacher and Marc Bammann aka Federleicht have created a playful and danceable track in "Rosa Lee." This is music that combines fragments and a masterly sense of ease. In "Lillie & Douai," the duo spans an emotional tension by overlaying approximately 80 radio tracks from the two French industrial cities of Lille and Douai.


Artist: LEIB & SEELE/OCULUS
Title: Leib & Seele & Oculus EP
Label: FORMRESONANCE (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $12.00
Catalog #: FORM 003EP
FormResonance presents Oculus and Leib & Seele. Within this project, producers Florian Schirmacher and Andreas Barth have gotten in touch with deeper shades of house, especially concerning variations in harmonies and lyrics. "Beizeiten" may cause a sun-dazed state of mind; its reinterpretation by Herrhorst & Meissner is made to cause an endorphin-rush. Oculus' "Ancient" consists of an energetic, powerful groove and a propulsive bass line. "Echo" is a thrilling time-quest riding on a rhythm-monster.


Artist: HATIKVAH
Title: Big Mind
Label: FORMRESONANCE (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $12.00
Catalog #: FORM 005EP
FormResonance selected three songs from Hatikvah's debut album Synchronicity in its uncut version to make it available for the music world on vinyl. "Big Mind" reveals itself as an extremely dense atmospheric world of sound with beautiful vocals by Florian Schirmacher. "Daedalus" is a Rhodes solo. Pure. Nothing else. "Unforgettable" slides in a 13-minute improvisation with the Rhodes piano that evolves gently and playfully. Sound & soul follow Hatikvah -- the deeper, the better.


Artist: HOLMBY HILLS
Title: Bohemia EP
Label: FORMRESONANCE (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $12.00
Catalog #: FORM 006EP
Holmby Hills present two smooth'n'ruff house tracks and two hip-hop jazz encores. Engin Oeztuerk, one-half of Here Today, and Block Barley are both tinkering in search of music to dance to. They wickedly transform their musical masters' ideas into something extraordinary sounding. An off-the-grid team!


Artist: CHAENGE, THE
Title: Rebellion
Label: FORMRESONANCE (GERMANY)
Format: CD
Price: $17.00
Catalog #: FORM 010CD
This is the debut album by The Chaenge, the duo of Florian Schirmacher and Mijk van Dijk. Mijk "The Legendary" van Dijk has set the bar in the techno scene since the early '90s. He was one of the first European artists in Japan and still follows and promotes his philosophy of thinking and acting without borders. Probably only a few people know that he was a bass player in a funk band before he started his career in techno. The funk strikes back! Florian "The Voice" Schirmacher is producer and singer of Wareika, Federleicht, Hatikvah, Here Today, and of course, The Chaenge. His approach to build up musical projects together with other artists sets yardsticks when it comes to the question how to define a band. He is rightly regarded as an exceptional figure in the current club culture, with an instinct that always hits the mark precisely. Catherina Behr is next to the guys live on stage and acts as drummer. The Chaenge triggers a variety of connotations and shows quite confident future visions on the new record. They present a synthesis of camp, irony, elegance, seriousness and a wink of a surprising turn in their songs. The Chaenge should be seen as a neatly tailored, colorful kaleidoscope. The carefully chosen cover version of André Cymone's "Dance Electric" (written by none other than Prince) proves their courage to raise their music to a new and higher level. The essence and spirit of funk is preserved and transformed into the current club culture. Their compositions draw a rich picture full of musicality and passion, speaking with one voice and creating a synthesis that forms a compelling character.
