Title:	Close Up
Label:	MO'S FERRY (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	MFP 016CD

"Niklas Worgt and Eva Padberg alias Dapayk & Padberg, are boyfriend and girlfriend, a creative and a model. After five conjoint singles on their label Mo's Ferry Prod., Niklas and Eva worked in their studio and recorded their first double album, a colourful music mixture with groovy minimal and pop-like experimental song where the familiar experiments of clicking snippets of Niklas meet the cheeky, demanding and dreamy lyrics from Eva's notebook. Just from first brief listen Close Up is even stronger than expected, Dapayk's sound is even thicker, intense and more worked out than with his recent singles, Eva's voice is even more beautifully blissed and see through, the lyrics more refined. A grown up and thrillingly versatile 'real' album project, 3 of the 8 tracks are definite and extremely rocking floor anthems previously unheard on the label. In short: we would think, one of the top 5 German minimal electro/techno albums this year."

Title:	Close Up Rmxs
Label:	MO'S FERRY (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	MFP 019EP

Remixes by Falko Brocksiper, Lump, Someone Else, Marcel Knopf. "MFP019 really is a firework! Music made with heart and soul. Beautiful, this deep Brocksieper Mix -- it's flow is one of the finest. A2: a romantic Lump, who will reel filled flews in, after having thrown his seductive bait on the 'Love Fish Sea Bottom' of the club landscapes. And yet, there is someone else!? Someone Else, who is mixing the vocals in the finest manner on B1 -- as always -- an airy inciting and pushing mixture for a t_time of doozy. 'Use Your Arms,' Marcel Knopf! If your legs might be a bit weak after the first three mixes, you can swing your arms right now into the air and sink into a rocking broken beat after a gap that hardly can be reached."

Title:	Black Beauty
Label:	MO'S FERRY (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	MFP 030EP

"Their debut album Close Up created a stir in late 2005 and the Dapayk solo album, Impulsion Parasite backed up the position of Mo's Ferry Prod. as a label for remarkable minimal tunes one year later. Now, after almost two years of silence around the Dapayk & Padberg project, Eva Padberg and Niklas Worgt aka Dapayk return with a brand-new collaborative masterpiece. By the way, for all of you who think of Naomi Campbell when hearing the album title -- give it another thought. Actually, what's meant by 'Black Beauty' is the vinyl record itself. Mo's Ferry 30 is coming as a prerelease single and its focus is the central topic of the album: the continuity of vinyl as a sound medium for electronic music. On the single Dapayk & Padberg take off with two versions of the eponymous track. The A-side contains the first DJ-tool with a slowly developing arrangement and a kind of 'is it possible to put in another bass?!' style. Dark, rocking, compelling! The B-side presents 'Black Beauty' in the dress of 10+ minutes' afterhour edit. While producing this version, Dapayk must have immersed himself in the long morning to early afternoon hours on some open air location. Analog, soft and with a haunting groove for the late (or already early) slots of the party-lineup."

Title:	Black Beauty
Label:	MO'S FERRY (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$18.00
Catalog #:	MFP 031CD

"Berlin duo Dapayk & Padberg consist of respected producer Niklas Worgt and vocalist (and part time supermodel) Eva Padberg. Their debut 'Close Up' in 2005 burst brightly and found its authors riding high on the best album & live act lists of magazines like Groove and De:Bug. This, their second collaborative album, is a fresh mix of sharp techno, heavy percussion and acerbic lyrics directed at the superficial and super fickle amongst us."

Title:	Black Beauty Rmxs Part 2
Label:	MO'S FERRY (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	MFP 036EP

"Just the other day we skipped through Dapayk & Padberg's album previews again. And we were pretty surprised. It seems as both wanted to hide some great tracks for the next album. There's no other reason why we would have missed 'Distracted,' this fantastic up-front A-side-track. Perhaps we did not overlook this piece, but we were distracted by the concept of their Black Beauty album -- far away from this conventional minimal genre cliché. According to the EP title, the B-side reveals this record's real nature. Nôze, the two brilliant maniacs from France, remixed 'Island' (or 'swimming circles' as the lyrics imply). The original was one of the most melodic tunes on the album and with an amazing vocal part by Caro, it is a one-of-a-kind collaboration. But Nôze tops it all off. The beginning is super laid-back -- fingers flipping right above a groovy bass line. After a while, the vocal and additional piano-phrases move in, and with an amazing chorus, the track turns into a cineastic avant-garde opus. An alternation of melancholy and hope -- this track has everything to fascinate the people this summer. The second remix on the record is 'Khes,' which most people considered the club hit of the album. Now, Digitaline from Switzerland present a less vocally, more groove-oriented minimal version. While mostly playing around with the wooden percussion sounds, every now and then they throw in some bits and pieces, like tiny cut-up vocal snippets. But not randomly -- just in time and not too much. A must."
