Label:	FREUDE AM TANZEN (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	FREUDE 001CD

Artists: Gamat 3000, Soulphiction, Funky Transport, Wighnomy Brothers, Hemmann + Kaden, Mark Henning, DJ Koze. "Seven years of faithfulness! Many in the prevailing school of thought concerning expressly how it'll all go up in smoke, as in a lack of convincing success, has been without a doubt showcased by FAT. This seventh year in the relationship between men and market doesn't stand so bloody damned as previously however. Except for the odd boob job, neighbourhood UFO sightings have ceased, being replaced with friendly skies for listeners and dancers alike. Nonetheless in the vernacular there still exists (strike up the band!) 'The exception proves the rule'. Aside from that being enough, a few salty years of experience which were quite (and 1, and 2 and?) 'unspectacular'. Now that we stand with proper certification, time to drop the velvet rope for the non-vinyl proficient connoisseurs. To be thus realized using the accompanying license in the form of the CD 'Various Artists: Compilation 01' This media presents concurrently a list and fore gleam of the label's vision: deep, comprehensive music for the dance pumping you from the bottom to the top, alternating warmth with coolness with the essence of funk on a minimal plane. Traditional and modern are buttoned together, with electro variety breathing song and soul with a clear focus on the dance floor. So that's what we got for this seven, here is to the next seven years following with more of the same!"

Label:	FREUDE AM TANZEN (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	FREUDE 002CD

This is a dance-happy mass of remixes by tag-team remixer duo Wighnomy Bros. and Robag Wruhme. Sound and rhythm teem with innovative ideas, which arise through an abundance of inspiration and influences. This is their second remix collection and it is anything but a pure collection of isolated cuts: rather it works as a demanding, sensuous electronic symphony to embrace and cherish. A feather light feeling of completeness, with a euphoric kick in every song. These are eleven small dissertations that connect electro-paced hills with classical dance music and experiments with synthetic song structures. Featuring many songs never before released on CD, plus a never-before released remix of Depeche Mode. Artists include: Future Sound Of London, Röyksopp, Jean-Paul Bondy, Matthias Tanzmann, Ellen Allien & Apparat, Underworld, Gustav, Nitzer Ebb and Paul Kalkbrenner.

The Wighnomy Brothers are Gabor Schablitzki (Robag Wruhme) and Sören Bodner (Monkey Maffia), and this is the first mix CD from the house of F.A.T. The label could not have chosen more capable hands then the greedy fingers of this duo: Wighnomy Brothers have basically remixed everyone... Röyksopp, Ellen Allien & Apparat, Paul Kalkbrenner, Depeche Mode, Nitzer Ebb, Triola, you name it, they've fucked with it. In the grand spirit of driving the Autobahn with your most beloved, everything is possible with this mix. In this lively and lovely record swings the ecstasy of the dance hall, the melancholy of being alone as well as every happy moment alongside one another. With the euphoria of even bass drums, measured tempo, sweat and affection, there is microscopic finery and surprising tonal nuances. The mix is the result of all the technical animalism and the mechanical handwork skills of innumerable club nights, listening to what works and what doesn't work on the dancefloor. Also, Robag added individual samples from his treasure chest, incorporating surprising bits from Lisa Gerrard, Sidsel Endresen and Bugge Wesseltoft. The narrative of this mix is housed in a functional techno sweetness. Wighnomy Brothers spin unusual moments, with a full awareness of history and an experimental spirit. Animated sonic architecture for driving, listening and dancing. Other artists include: Agoria, False, Andre Crom, DJ Koze, Ralph Sliwinski, Stewart Walker, Mathias Kaden, Dirk Diggler, Kreon & Lemos and Matchiste.

"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."

"The idea however being that some music is so compelling that only at a certain volume level do you begin to get that unmistakeable euphoric feeling. On their second EP for FAT, the two Thüringian gentlemen storm the corresponding brain sections using 5 star ingredients taken from the electronic kitchen.The section that sets the body to an immobile state is completely switched off. Writing and listening to these lines is almost impossible. Intense rocking up and down in your seat is accompanied by loud and sometimes quieter sections of the song. 'Sense' is carried by simple, waving drumbeats, driven by a booming bass line. Swallowed voice samples containing the title words play throughout the entire track, and are accompanied by melodic fragments from the underwater world."

"Imagine the following arrangement: Jamaica sways somewhere in orbit. Instead of palm trees, the landscape is lined with giant, autumn-ish red-drenched wine leaves, Kafka and Nietzsche liberally conduct a fencing duel, in tattered trouser suits, at 5 o'clock in the morning on the beach. Meanwhile the sustenance -- fresh caught fish -- roast over an open fire. In the background mountain ranges cut a swath out of the fog and clouds, as animals in a procreative heat make feral sounds out of a world of mammals and plumage in the expansive flow. In the middle of this landscape, a gardening duo has additional fields that beg the cultivation of Wighnomic bread. Pele bloss unending vastness is applied to 2004, with the 2-man strong crew pushing the W-bros-starship into the galaxy that everyone who dreams of dancing should have seen. Freiekksemplar movement is the engine of cheerfulness, should grief present an obstacle to activity, the cheerfulness would become rigid, and distances must be filled through closeness and contact. Rhythm breeds movement -- cheerfulness triumphs. Nunca here the man is not the replacement parts depot, instead the depot is the man- or Brubeck, Coltrane, Monk, Silver, Davis, Jobim, Getz, Eno all work together to manufacture the complete eco-Mercedes! Precision and creativeness belong together yet!"

"'With the Folks' -- deep galloping rich micro-house, which accompanied by effective grinning samples, infiltrated with screech-fragments. The piano sequences are placed through seemingly psychotic curt ambient sonar, alternating now and again before the end of the song. 'Jessy Barbaron' -- thumping-crunch house with dub-techno seasoning that serves justice to the ghost rider aesthetic. Board and enter the fright car, where from the vehicle the arrangement jumps through the wall. 'Wise Crackz' -- lovable loony-bin techno-house for the lunch hour, no one is tied down, and everybody has permission to groove. The next visits are just simply ignored 'Late night tv' is jump-step-twist-tempo-dub with neighbor angering bass. Alas, here we aren't on the dance floor. Well then the title, the interpreted scratches and DJ thereby penetrate the local club, or perhaps just hoist the plate."

Catalog #:	FREUDE 023EP

"The centre for all matters Wighnomy Brothers come forth with another very strong four tracks dedicated to all the disco freaks. '1996' opens with spliced vocal, lambent melody and an immediate agenda for the floor. After a sizeable wind-up, the tune explodes out of the blocks with a wicked mordant bassline and tom drops -- kind of a bubble and a sting. The bite lies in the tail of course, the third section of this dancefloor nu-epic becomes a veritable jacking zone. 'Lovu' runs like a more malevolent brother to the A-side, emptier, darker and to certain well-tuned ears, even better. 'Doppelganger' persists with the darker theme for the flip, remaining obsessed with an essentially one note jam rhythm, leaving it all to the neat percussive activity to carry the day." --Boomkat

Format:	12"

Catalog #:	FREUDE 024EP

"Dear dancers and listeners, hereby through the British e-artist Mark Henning, the essence in minimal sound aesthetics is served with maximum effect. Several small sound sketches are sorted through elaborately schemed tone -- and rhythmic understanding into four galloping monsters. Nothing is left to chance -- improvisation, method, the experimental and effect is via the conductor Henning and intimate production on the dance floor performed in four acts. Track 1: Whipping gallop, a voice out of the darkroom dynamic atmospheric interferences, blistering luminosity and maximum force where everyone is the captain of his own bridge! Track 2: The T.Rex-boogie is back in the wigwam, for as long as the snow keeps falling! Track 3: When movement is effected by fire spilled onto the floor -- unrestrained feet aren't exactly out of the realm of reality. Track 4: Why should a dude come out of the club and go home when such glimmering electric staccato funk is massaging and soothing the joints. Since modern technology made it possible to have this type of stirring dynamic at home -- early rising neighbours cannot do anything other than jig along."

Title:	Rammelwolle Remixe
Label:	FREUDE AM TANZEN (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	FREUDE 025EP

The newest Freude am Tanzen release is a quasi-various artists split between three men: Michael Mayer, Robag Wruhme and DJ Koze, also known as Adolf Noise. This is a musical fight club with the three winners atop the podium. Rammelwolle Remixe can be considered the Peter Sellers release of the season, with humor, romper-room antics, watching the day go by, improv, radio drama and music in one rush. It also reconfigures Koze's brain-jazz picked material with its unique characteristics, leaving the originator with ample space on the black grooves. Station 17 works the last track as an extra gumdrop. Remixes by Mayer and Wruhme included.

Catalog #:	FREUDE 026EP

The new FaT comes off similar to a 12-step program without the raised index finger or narcotic dependence. The final report: intoxicating music is always better than madness by intoxication! It don't stop with two intelligent digital rock waves. The one psycho with a proper nozzle in the veins, the other one purposefully burrowing a tunnel to the heart's warmth! The ring of fire is presented in the house of the Wighnomy Brothers intro. Track 1: this one punts straight to the brain of everyone in the proximity of the dancefloor, propelled through the waters by easy jazz sizzling. Track 2: a new soundscape with melodies and positive vibes all around. The Wighnomy Bros. build dreams machines to wake us up!

Label:	FREUDE AM TANZEN (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	FREUDE 028EP

Douglas Greed is a drum & bass activist from Thuringia, and this is his first release for Freude Am Tanzen. The pillars of this music are melancholy, power and volition, which is paired with tenderness and passion. Confused minds only need a few ingredients to be helped towards a specific determination of the sound cosmos, which is helped by freely breathing. However, as it always is with the music "schizo-aficionado," tender yet powerful odes are required. Mr. Greed makes live laptop action happen, and the musical seeds of dance fertilization cross-breed through the speakers.

Artist:	WIGHNOMY BROTHERS
Title:	Okkasion EP
Label:	FREUDE AM TANZEN (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	FREUDE 029EP

The Wighnomy Bros. return with their typical penchant for diversity. Robag Wruhme -- the producer of the duo, has taken great pains plying his craft in order that club-music lovers can thoroughly savor the energy of the DJ-couplet. "Epinikkion": with the heat and sun and warm raindrops, dancers gallop over the rainbow. This number drives the rudders with a bodily compulsion that blasts away even the heaviest fetters. With "Annopanno" and Gustav Wighnomy's "Okkasion" edit, the green lunacy of next spring is envisaged. A truly warm sigh out of the digital ether. "Hankkofloppe": the dark side of the duo, but mystical and unstable energy can save lives, and this is gonna be one for the floor!

Title:	Girlfriend in a Coma
Label:	FREUDE AM TANZEN (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	FREUDE 031EP

The Dalai Lama of the techno world is back, on a mission to connect the floors of the world and dance away the fast approaching ruin. Douglas, the schizo-capitalistic alter-ego dark side who is actually the chief of a big market perfume chain, hunts the tonal outcry with melancholy. "Ille und Sören" is a dramatic manifest of the most important pillars of acoustic structure: melody and rhythm. "Oktober 17" is the day Morrissey went in through the hospital radio and brought his girlfriend out of the coma, while "Trixie" is a masculine-defiant calculation with the first of its forms barely passing along.

Artist:	KADEBOSTAN
Title:	Caracas Soul EP
Label:	FREUDE AM TANZEN (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	FREUDE 032EP

A new face from Switzerland, fished out of the exuberant CD-R promos. If the FAT-Philistines were to deny the public these wonderful odes, they would surely be drawing a dark cloud over Jena and the label's future would be as cursed as if Frodo had never thrown the Ring into the inferno within Mount of Doom. Beguiling melody structures are demonstrated here with effective clarity, along with Latin-American, feminine vocals. The first track represents South American energy. The second track portrays the optical elements of sunrise and sunset as a listening experience. The last track is true trance without the velocity, unnerving kitsch and overloaded pomp.

Artist:	WIGHNOMY BROTHERS
Title:	Guppipeitsche
Label:	FREUDE AM TANZEN (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	FREUDE 033EP

Wignomy Brothers instructor Robag Wruhme breaks out the trim-o-matic. It's simply about electronic dance music with the proper levels of bar, meter and tone, and knowing how and where to touch. "Guppipeitsche" is a digital-bebop-swing-wallop to boogie to. Dancing like the '40s but to the good stuff from today. "Gloomy Head" is a groove for all dance gymnasts, brought to you by eternal melodies which are simply charming with an effective piano-line. Open your head everybody! Love and dance unite!

Catalog #:	FREUDE 035EP

Mathias Kaden presents his first culinary solo trip for Freude-Am-Tanzen. Three pots are stewing, presented with German tidiness and foreign spice. Minimal blends with maximal in just the right balance. "Swahili": industrial tones are caramelized with drums, piano and flute without being too sweet. "Lucidas": technoid, but perfect for the early morning hours. "Saloee": a nutritious techno dish with voodoo flavors -- a tribal ode to deconstructing a club. Enjoy your meal.

Artist:	KADEBOSTAN
Title:	Ruff Dancer EP
Label:	FREUDE AM TANZEN (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	FREUDE 036EP

Kadebostan's second release features finely composed tonal art which functions flawlessly at home and at the club. Harmonic, graceful and voluminous without an over-produced taste. "Ruff Dancer" measures classic fragments and a driving melodic line along with an opulent theatrical bootlick. "Entroducing Kadebostan" is a melancholy dash of tomfoolery and warmth, while "Hidden Treasure" quietly mixes melodic structures with distant vocals. This 12" thrills the hearing channels and fills the heart.

Title:	Dash Shopper
Label:	FREUDE AM TANZEN (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	FREUDE 037EP

Robag Wruhme curates an old reunion. "Mosca Via" was first released by Themroc and Maciste in 2002 on Thrill Beat Construction, and here's its fresh rendition. A great electro-pop hit with vocoder, Detroit strings, power plant plink-plunk and thoughtful bass. "Delmac" is a short, still piece, riding on the trail of Vangelis and Tomita. "Dash Shopper" features a cool dullness, bass thumps and synth-taps. This is where the proper balance of dance movement and release is reached.

Artist:	HEMMANN & KADEN
Title:	Karacho/Synchro EP
Label:	FREUDE AM TANZEN (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	FREUDE 040EP

Marek Hemmann and Mathias Kaden are two elegant, purified, galloping fellas with a broad view; where quality rules without creative limits. On "Karacho," the arena is filled with techno fireworks! Hemmann's elegance paired with Kaden's rhythmic diversity and beat-work produce the perfect mover to an aesthetic disco. "Synchro" is so fresh and balanced, that every individual effect is more than just a sound element. With modulated voices, tinkling, monster punches and a rushing wind, this is a dance-machine full of blood and excess.

Artist:	GREED, DOUGLAS
Title:	Beuys Don't Cry
Label:	FREUDE AM TANZEN (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	FREUDE 041EP

Douglas Greed refines his style on Beuys Don't Cry from a danceable gloom to densely-packed tracks. "If This..." feels extra-terrestrial and romantic -- a dark slice of techno-rag with a slap of house. "Chessbet" is a modern classic with '90s melodies, acid indications and a free-spirited rave-ethos. "Animals Will Only Come To You If You Feed Them" is a tender vegetable soundtrack for an arena of closed-eye dancers, and "A Life Full Of Handshakes" is artistic electronica with a strenuous power.
