KREIDLER album out on vinyl (incl. free CD) - New VON SPAR album - New PNN video - New ANTONELLI releases - 10 years ITALIC label showcase - & more …
Dear decent fellows, culture vultures, chocoholics, sensation seekers, double dealers, egoists and altruists,
If you like living the Italic way, we’ve got some flabbergasting news for you. Our cosmic warriors KREIDLER mixed an astral traveling Podcast for the British blog Bodytonic. For those who like dark Disco, Krautrock, weirdo dub and space rock, it’s a must. Just follow this link to get some outer-space satisfaction. By the way: the new Kreidler long-player Mosaik 2014 has been voted record of the month at music magazines like Groove, Spex and the German broadcasting company Bayerischer Rundfunk Zündfunk.
In order to meet the heavy demand for a vinyl edition of Mosaik 2014, we will release the album on hot black wax on January 18, including a free CD copy of the album. If you haven’t had a chance to listen to the whole album yet: via carhartt-streetwear.com/music you can catch a free mp3 in cooperation with zero-inch. And below are some more live dates for Düsseldorf’s finest Krautrock ancestors presented by Carhartt, Spex and zero-inch.
By the same token, Cologne’s finest shoegazing disco troopers VON SPAR keep following their cosmic path. After releasing the single HyBoLT, which includes a long tripping Prins Thomas Remix, they have shut themselves into their rehearsal room to produce a new album. The release date will be May 2009 and the first demos suggest that their psychedelic sounds may violate some drug laws. More news about this case in January.
Another fellow that doesn’t like to follow the consensus of electronic music is POPNONAME, the man who likes the color white even if his music is sometimes dark. He just filmed a new video to his track Touch, one of the smashers of his latest album Surrounded by Weather. The clip was directed by Jan Höhe and can be watched via this link. At present, Popnoname is touring around Europe solo and with The Field. Don’t miss the opportunity to see him - he’s heartbreaking.
And for sure, there’s no news without mentioning ANTONELLI, the man who never stands still on his mission producing peerless club music with an edge. The uncrowned Disco god just released some new skeleton-shaking EP’s on Dreck and Level records. On top he also did a remix for Paulo Olarte for Polytone music.
Finally we want to invite you all to our big jubilee bash at the end of the year in Düsseldorf’s fabulous Salon Des Amateurs. Here the Italic family dance the mess around to celebrate 10 years of being alive. Feel welcome to join us!!! Take it easy and don’t forget: music is not a luxury, but a fundamental need!
Love,
The Italic Family
