Title:	Soulphiction EP
Label:	FREUDE AM TANZEN (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	FREUDE 017EP

"2003 saw not only Johnny Cash make the final payment to his maker, but the godfather of verbal foreplay Barry White, responsible for the existence of half of the America, at 58 years has also been called to the great stage in the sky. However, Mr. White's CD's for quite a few decades, resounded in the bedrooms of the world, compelling the couples of the world to make sweet love. The Stuttgart papi Michel Baumann alias Soulphiction (sometimes Jackmate) also gets the juices flowing, however manifested as a compulsion to move. Beginning with a radio show intro, he urges us on like the radio should. And rightly so. Liquid patterns is soaked with pure Rhodes, and applied, frenetic subterranean bass. Through a fully conscious, shifting rhythm and jazz hi-hat that whispers as if a drum is being stroked with a brush, it manages a compelling groove. Length doesn't play a role here, answering the question of why anything should be extended when the moment of euphoria has been reached. White ropes demonstrates how a 'white bread' can produce the same velvety, soulful sound of black music, and with the same understanding to boot. Central to the setting is an unbelievable voice which can evoke moments similar to the style of the late Mr. White; approach with caution. An unbelievably soulful feeling is achieved with this musical potion of deep song embedded with house beats. Mr. Soulphiction is ready to take over."

Title:	The Chocolettes One
Label:	MUSIK KRAUSE (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	MKR 024EP

Three killa rhythm-isms from Soulphiction, full of nutritional value and whole grain groove. This is music for emotional dancefloors. "Maoamba" is a wonderful Afro-jazz dervish, pure magical madness for the moments when everything simmers and spins. "Rise" is a deep, jazz-filled slider that creeps under the skin. "Jungle AD" features careening and rolling bass swells. A clear declaration that states: "music without bass is stupid!"

Title:	The Chocolettes Two
Label:	MUSIK KRAUSE (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	MKR 026EP

This is part two of Soulphiction's Chocolettes series. Whether as Soulphiction, Jackmate or as Manmade Science, Michel Baumann guarantees soul satisfaction. "The Royal Pennekaums (Chocolettes Nervous Mix)" is swinging electronic funk in the vein of International Pony. "Nobody Ever" is a majestic, slow-motion kicker -- true downbeat-house for reflective moments. "In Dub" closes the ranks between dub and techno, with wonderful, buzzing background grooves. Lastly, "Sirens" is short, sweet, Maritime gangster-house -- a lucrative trip into the witch's cauldron.

Label:	PHILPOT (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	PHP 017EP

"Here comes the first 12" after SoulPhictions State of Euphoria album-release on Jazzanovas Sonar Kollektiv-Imprint. And it differs...!!! Back home from a safari with his son in Kenya, he's kicking his atmospheric tracks to the limit, you can literally feel the vibes of the mara down Africa! 'Masai Mara' drops some lovely spring-flavoured arpeggios on massive wardrums, layering it to an absolute climax...the good side of trance! 'Keekorok' on the flip is a sunriser, with its sliding synthstabs and old-school but totally up-pushing beats, which will work the dancefloor for shure."

Title:	Underground Railroad
Label:	PHILPOT (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	PHP 035EP

"It's always good to start the New Year with something special and in this case it's the release of the Underground Railroad 12 inch from SoulPhiction. While his last album Do You Overstand? on Berlin's Sonar Kollektiv as well as his infamous remix for Ian Simmonds' 'Whos Blues' on Musik Krause is still in mind he went straight ahead on the work for his upcoming album. So Underground Railroad prepares us for his new LP coming out on Philpot! Three tracks to choose from, starting off with the title track 'Underground Railroad,' a lo-end house track with a thick atmosphere rooted in jazz. On the flip, the first track is called 'Things To Get By,' reminiscent of the classic, timeless house music to the bone! To round that up, the last track 'Regrets' is a stripped down percussion tool, an 'instrumental version' of the original contained on the album. Enjoy!"
