Info:
FURFRIEND is everything you never dared to sex about. From the depths of warm and tight cavities come the two fuck pets DINGO TUSH (vocals) and DAS UBERDOG (production) be it the pleasures of gay circuit life or the sweet feel of sheep in their best years – FURFRIEND covers it all and more.
The techno duo doesn´t know their origin exactly – their memories go back to dark but also jolly times at an animal shelter in antwerp where they were kept until MUM, their recently deceased fostermother picked them up, to have them join her 21 other pets. It was a hard childhood, not even knowing what type of mammal you were, but the toughest part was being relentlessly used by ´MUM´as a sex slave, having to fulfill all her sexual desires in order to get a bit of food.
Then the confusion that arose when MUM was killed having sex with her oldest aquisition ‘Bob’ the german shepherd who couldn´t take it anymore and ate her face – the poor guy was put down right in front of their face. Now, being freed from the clutch of MUM Furfriend look into the bright future of being popstars, knowing this is what they were born to do.
DAS UBERDOG has been listening to MUMs records on headphones ever since he found the power switch for the stereo – it was clear back then he would become an awesome producer. DINGO TUSH, the singer of the duo, howled the melody of `my favourite things´when MUM was watching her favourite show: ‘The sound of music‘ – they were clearly bound to become a music production team. It just had to happen eventually.
These times are long past now, but they have left a mark on their souls which they heartbreakingly sing about in songs like ‘GECK’ ‘FIST FUCK’ or ‘SHEPHERD’ which relates to the tough life, herding sheep just after MUM had passed away.
Originally based in Antwerp the duo has now made a move for berlin.
“Antwerp was just not the right place for us. As much perversion as there is in belgium, it is the people of Berlin we love for the open sexual deviance present all over Berlin We think this is the right breeding ground (haha) for our art.” says DINGO TUSH, the band´s cockslinging singer. Techno just has a different meaning here – everybody does it, spit in a corner, and you’ll hit a dj! This is perfect for us because it shows what people really want. and we are here to give it to them.” adds DAS UBERDOG, the musical genius behind the furfriend productions.

Info:
Goldfrapp release their stunningly beautiful new album ‘Tales Of Us’ through Mute on 9 September 2013. Their sixth album, ‘Tales Of Us’ is written and produced by band members Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory and was recorded at their studio in the English countryside.
A sumptuous body of work, ‘Tales Of Us’ has been two years in the crafting and is their most narrative, cinematic and intimate recording so far. Nothing in their accomplished back catalogue has hinted at the new lyrical breadth that the band have introduced to ‘Tales Of Us’. All the songs bar one are named in the first person with a cast list of evocative character sketches, the contrary love affairs, the suspense, hallucinations, fairy tales and modern folklores documented and the traces of redemption they find in song take the poetry of Goldfrapp’s delicately considered music somewhere brand new.
A trailer for the album offers the first chance to get a glimpse of ‘Tales Of Us’ and can be seen below.
With its uniquely cinematic narrative, filmmaker Lisa Gunning is creating a compelling and beautiful film to accompany the album, which will be shown in cinemas later this year.
Goldfrapp kick-start a summer of very special live performances with two shows at the Manchester International Festival on 17 & 18 July when they will be performing ‘Tales Of Us’ live for the very first time, accompanied by the Royal Northern College of Music string orchestra. The band will then be performing at Somerset House on 20 July before going on to headline the Lovebox main stage on Sunday 21 July.

Info:
Mote-Evolver’s ever successful Parallel Series is now on to its fourth installment, this time with two West Coast producers – Developer and Truncate – going head to head. Pairing of the two is uncanny in many ways given their close friendship and the geographical base they share, and appears to be the perfect choice to highlight the difference between their sound and style to realize the concept of Parallel Series: contrast & compliment.
The EP opens with “Random Attractions” by Developer, a producer who’s known for the deeply dramatic groove charged with masculine energy. With its focused and streamlined forward-moving force, “Random Attraction” is a track of relentless agility. “Drive Themes” maintains the same tempo but adds enticing elements of distorted shouts of melody on top of the ruthless yet smooth layers of chords and hats, all beautifully harmonized to perfection. Developer’s contribution makes the darker and moodier side of EP and its stirring emotion serves as a nice counterpart to its slightly more lighthearted flip side.
Fellow LA-based producer Truncate steps out of his usual sound of rock-solid and thumping techno with “Is It Skinny?”, a spaced-out hypnotic track that contains a vocal sample that’s so demure and unexpected that it melts into the swirling bleeps of melodies, and you wouldn’t even notice if it wasn’t the title that gives out. “Fourty Four” is yet another track that’s born for the floor, inducing aural pleasure with its funky rolling bass dancing with congo-like drums and claps.

Line-up:
Cristian Vogel
Pacou
Location:
Tresor, Berlin (Germany)
Admission fee:
about 12 EUR
Info (German only):
Den jüngeren Leuten unter unseren Gästen sollte man es der Sicherheit halber erwähnt haben: Cristian Vogel ist kein Deutscher, nein, er wurde 1970 als Kind englischer Eltern in Chile geboren und begann seine Laufbahn als Berufsmusiker 1991 an der Universität zu Brighton. Mit dem Studienfach “Musik des 20. Jahrhunderts” und einem bestens ausgestatteten Tonstudio konnte er von Beginn an aus dem Vollen schöpfen. Neben zahlreichen Releases im Bereich Techno, allein fünf Alben auf unserem hauseigenen Label Tresor Records, arbeitet Vogel derzeit als Sounddesigner für verschiedene Film- und Kunstprojekte. Auf seiner aktuellen Tour präsentiert er eine Rückschau mit unveröffentlichten Tracks, Raritäten und Klassikern anlässlich seines 20-jährigen Jubiläums als Produzent. Muss man gehört haben! Im Globus gibt´s heute eine Labelnacht mit Mo’s Ferry, dem farbenfrohen Qualitätslabel von Dapayk, dass sich mit viel Lässigkeit in den Bereichen House und Techno gleichermaßen viele Freunde gemacht hat.

Info (English):
Moderat proudly announce:
“After spending 6 quite intense months in the studio we just finished our 2nd album.
It‘s simply called „Moderat II“ and we aged about 10 years while making it. We still think it was worth the trouble.
Not seeing any sunshine or daylight for a long time, we can‘t wait to go on tour in August and play the new stuff live.
Once more, we cooperated with our friends from Pfadfinderei to create the new live show and the artwork.
To follow the cover design of the debut album and create a design series, we asked Siriusmo, who had already been drawing the punching woman of the first Moderat album.”
„II“ will be released worldwide on Monkeytown Records. For the US & Canada we are proudly partnering with the legendary independent label Mute Records: “Mute is thrilled to be working with Moderat. Having released Apparat‘s latest album we’re already huge fans. II is a strong step forward for these collaborators!”
Info (German):
Moderat über „II“:
„Nach 6 sehr intensiven Monaten im Studio haben wir nun unser 2. Album fertig. Es hat den simplen Titel „Moderat II“ und wir sind während der Produktion ungefähr 10 Jahre gealtert. Wir glauben immer noch, dass es das wert war. Nach einer harten Zeit ohne Sonne und Tageslicht können wir es nun kaum erwarten, ab August auf Tour zu gehen und unser neues Zeug zu spielen. Damit ihr immer wisst, was bei uns los ist, haben wir unsere neue Webseite gelaunched: http://www.moderat.fm
Wieder einmal haben wir mit unseren Freunden von der Pfadfinderei für Artwork und Live-Show kooperiert. Um dem Design des ersten Albums treu zu bleiben und eine Design-Serie zu kreieren, haben wir Siriusmo – der die Frau auf dem ersten Cover gezeichnet hat – nach einer neuen Zeichnung gefragt.“ Das neue Album „II“ wird in verschieden Formaten erscheinen. Alle Standartformate haben die Katalognummer MTR035, die deluxe Versionen unter MTR036. Das reguläre Tracklisting des Albums als digital Version beinhaltet 11 Songs, die single LP 8. Die digitale deluxe Version beinhaltet einen zusätzlichen Bonus Songs (12 insgesamt), die deluxe 2xLP 11 Songs.
Das Cover für beide Formate unterscheidet sich, damit die deluxe Version sofort erkannt werden kann. Alle Formate werden in einer speziellen Verpackung ausgeliefert, die Sammlerherzen höher schlagen lassen wird. Das Design stammt, wie beim ersten Album, von dem Design und Visualkollektiv Pfadfinderei: „Wir wollten, dass das Design dem alten folgt und eine Serie entsteht, also haben wir Siriusmo gefragt, ob er das alte, von ihm gemalte, Cover aufgreifen kann und mit einem ähnlichen Entwurf für „II“ aufwarten kann. Gleichzeitig wollten wir etwas mehr Farbe verwenden, so dass die Weiterentwicklung der Band auch im Design optisch sichtbar wird. Es ist verwand aber unterschiedlich. Anders als beim Debütalbum wird es auch verschiedene Cover für die unterschiedlichen Formate geben, um auch hier eine optische Unterscheidung hervor zu heben.“
„II“ wird weltweit auf Monkeytown Records veröffentlicht. Für die USA und Kanada sind wir stolz, mit dem Indie-Label Mute Records einen legendären Lizenzpartner gewonnen zu haben. Mute: „Mute ist begeistert, mit Moderat arbeiten zu können. Als Label für Apparats letztes Album sind wir ohnehin schon große Fans. „II“ ist ein großer Schritt vorwärts für dieses Bandprojekt.“
