NEW ARRIVAL: [dunkelbunt] - Picnic with [dunkelbunt] (DLP incl. bonus CD) A musical journey around the globe with music from Oi Va Voi (London), Arthur Lee (Memphis), Manolis Hiotis (Athens), BaBa Zula (Istanbul), Manau (Paris), [dunkelbunt] (Vienna), Axel Krygier & Tremor (Buenos Aires), Watcha Clan (Marseille) ... on a limited edition double vinyl (incl. CD album) - only 150 copies available for distribution! Many songs are available for the first (and maybe last) time on vinyl! [dunkelbunt] invites us on a musical picnic and serves assorted specialities from around the globe - some of them frisky, some melancholic. The Picnic with [dunkelbunt] is colourful, and all those drawers are wide open: Lonely Drifter Karen bewitch with their blend of chanson and mystic folk - french hiphop courtesy of Manau meets Skeewiffs electro blues groove (including a sample from the Coen Bros. movie Oh Brother Where Art Thou? by the way). Next up: a rare Imam Balidi remix of Bouzouki legend Manolis Hiotis. More where that came from: Arthur Lees almost forgotten soul hit Everybodys Gotta Live, Oi Va Vois Klezmer Ladino Song featuring the mesmerizing vocals of KT Turnstall. Then, crazy Parisian duo Nôze feat. Dani Siciliano sends an invitation to Danse Avec Moi… and when indie rock meets indian pop, it sounds like Firewaters sizzling This Is My Life. Buenos Aires sends two acts who couldnt be more different: while Axel Kryglers Princesa sneaks in on an oriental nu jazz tip, the DJ Delay Dub of Tremors Viajante smartly balances digital and analog grooves. [dunkelbunt]s latest single offering Schlawiener caters to those who love electro swing, just like Mad Manoushs Illusionen does - the latter fueled by Django Reinhardt/Stephane Grapelli inspired gypsy jazz. No other outfit represents the new mediterranean sound like the Watcha Clan does: from their home port Marseille they absorb gnawa from Mahgreb just like they do Balkan brass & turkish arabesque. Their tribute to this picnic is Goumari in the infamous DJ Click version - on other occasions they already got remixed by legendary 4Hero! Baba Zula from Istanbul gained worldwide reputation upon being featured in Fatih Akins Crossing The Bridge documentary - they recorded their picnic contribution Cecom during sunset on a boat on the Bosporus river. The vocalist on that track is Brenna MacCrimmon, who worked with a.o. Shantel before. And talking about Crossing The Bridge: Nil Karaibrahamgils Bencil is a souvenir from [dunkelbunt]s bicycle tour along the Danube river in 2004, travelling from Vienna to Istanbul.
