At home with Fred und Luna. The two mannequins from Karlsruhe have invited renowned guests to a night of the round vinyl: Peter Kruder is equipped with an exquisite Viennese downtempo version of the Fred und Luna hit "People Mambo". Mathew Jonson comes with a wunderbar groovy and jazzy remix of "Nichtmusikalische Stadt Unter Schritten/Das Ist Halt So". In Flagranti don't want to be outdone and bring an interpretation of "Nichtmusikalische Stadt Unter Schritten", which will leave you longing for that nowadays elusive dancefloor. Dodi Palese has remixed "Polytonikum" to a very rhythmic song of its own... Fred und Luna, together with Compost Records, want to share this five-star compilation with you for your listening pleasure.

Space music of an outstanding and extraordinary kind: just as you would expect when two mannequins leave their boutique in Karlsruhe/Germany in their mind's eye to go and see places where they haven't been before. Im Weltenraum, how they call their new album, is Fred Und Luna's next step in their ever-changing series of "elektrokraut/krautelektro" music. A charming and fascinating voyage through an endless universe of phantasmagorical soundscapes, repetitive rhythms, catchy melodies, and even a side trip to Acid House Land. After their Gluck Auf on Optimo Music (OM 034EP), where they started with a journey through motorik krautland, followed by a trip to a both atmospheric and boppy soundgarden on their album Im Klanggarten" (Bigamo, 2017), an intoxicating journey into deep blue areas on Im Tiefenrausch (COMP 537CD/LP, 2019) and tribal dancefloor spots on Im Tanzrausch" (COMP 538EP, 2019), Fred Und Luna are now on the traces of spaces, unknown worlds and unknown time zones, accompanied by Patrick Pulsinger, both a mix master and a master of mastering. Who are Fred Und Luna? Fred Und Luna are two mannequins living in a fashion boutique in Karlsruhe, Germany. They serve as muse for musician, lector, poet, and photo/video maker Rainer Buchmüller. Inspired by his doll friends and his love for German electronic music of the past decades, Rainer Buchmüller under the alias Fred Und Luna produces his self-created genres elektrokraut and Krautelektro: both a modern combination of repetitive rhythms, beautiful melodies, electronic soundscapes, and elements from the krautrock era. Under the name of Ariston Baton, Rainer Buchmüller also writes and performs sound poems and concrete poetry.
