Subtitled: A Journey Of Essential Wareika Interpretations. "Per Aspera Ad Astra" means "through hardships to the stars," and that is precisely Wareika's motto. You could say that the trio from Hamburg is the hardest-working bunch in the music business. In 2010, they released two albums back-to-back, Formation (TART 001CD) on Tartelet Records and Harmonie Park (PERL 081LP) on Perlon Records. The enormous output by the trio is reminiscent of jazz musicians of the '60s. Wareika have released several singles and have done some astonishing remix work within the past three years. Therefore, their collection of ten remixes, or better, reworked and interpreted songs, will give you a fine impression of how Wareika have elaborated their unique sound. To involve Alex Flitsch of Connaisseur Recordings was self-evident for the band. They started out on his label, made several remixes for it, and contributed tracks to the Grand Cru compilation. This also made it a matter of course to feature the exclusive remix of Connaisseur-act Kollektiv Turmstrasse's "Tristesse" on this album. In order to give it even more of a proper album feel, Wareika have delivered an intro and outro, making this collection sound more balanced and harmonious. Please enjoy this almost 80 minute-long journey to the stars with Wareika. Also features remixes of artists such as Aufgang, Gus Gus, Daniel Nitsch, Mathias Kaden, Alex Flatner & Lopazz, Patrick Chardronnet, Kasper Björke & His Friendly Ghost, Soukie & Windisch and Manolo.
