B1 Side: WESTERN HIVES [ Mollono.Bass Rmx ]
B2 Side: WESTERN HIVES [ Schäufler&Zovsky Rmx ]

You know this feeling, too? You are listening to a song and even though you can’t tell the reason: It’s just grooving like hell! Well, this phenomenon is commonly described as understatement and what mister Douglas Greed from the small East German town of Jena delivered as a kick-off track for the newest Acker record, is a perfect example for it: The almost tool-like “78Straight” comes along very unobtrusive but still absolutely irresistible. In case of the summery “Western Hives” it is much more clear which way the groove is blowing, that of the fluffy xylophone sounds namely. But still the actual thrust perfidiously sneaks up one’s back while listening… The two local Mecklenburg boys Schaeufler & Zovski rearranged this track with emphasis on extensive percussion entries and turned it into a very sexy and sweaty atmosphere. And what’s this? Laid-back, with a grin from ear to ear and a cheerful melody on its lips: Of course, it is the Mollono.Bass remix that again changes the pace of “Western Hive” completely!

B2 Side: VOODOO [ Rundfunk3000 Rmx ]

Slim, sporty and very casual- that’s the way in which current number 18 on Acker Records sneaks into listener’s ears and hereby wonderfully illustrates the much longed for beginning of the open air season in Europe. Other than the name Justin Side implies, its even two dudes from Denmark who conjure up this unusual Voodoo. Bedded on a gently shaking groove and larded with tropical warm percussion and lots of vocals, the magic takes effect immediately but still unobtrusively. Beside the original mix, the groove of the A-side includes a minimal Club Mix by mister Mollono.Bass that creates rather nightly associations in its straightforward manner. On the flipside he pulls out some other stops of his sound repertoire and calls the sunbathed result very appropriately his Summer Mix. Last but not least the unmistakable, humorous organ sounds of Rundfunk3000 represent the unique, local Mecklenburg version of a mighty Voodoo magic.

A1 Side: WAITIN FOR THE SUN

B1 Side: WAITING FOR THE SUN [ Mollono.Bass Remix ]
B2 Side: LIPSTICK GANG

To sound the bell for the slowly but constantly sprouting spring also in a musical respect, the crew from Acker called for support from the Mediterranean sceneries of Italy: The two operators of the Lula Circus have already pricked up the ears of lovers of flamboyant Tech House tunes with their recent releases on Resopal. Matching the season, they are now back to send up the temperatures on dance floors again. “Waiting For The Sun” to come impatiently, this tracks frisks along on a bouncy bass and prompts dreamy spring fever with breezy- warm panpipes sounds. After that, “Tears And Ice” makes quite clear where it goes to already during the first bars: Straight ahead! Beyond whipping hi hats and cutting snare impacts, slowly but constantly a piano loop clears its path to the surface. Later on the smoky and outrageously casual rap of a lady adds on and prepares a really explosive departure. The panpipes from the A-side make a perfect meal for Mr. Mollono.bass and so the euphony, in which he launches himself into a remix on the other side of this vinyl, can clearly be heard. Beside his typical, extensive percussion repertoire also his hypnotic style is unmistakable. Finally the “Lipstick Gang” comes around in a crunchy and reduced manner, this time it’s the rhythmically emphasized voice of a male lending this track a distinct easiness.

A1 Side: HIRNHOLZ

B1 Side: FLIC FLAC

B2 Side: SPIEGELKABINETT

Almost one year after their musical hiking day, their “Wandertag” to the winter state of Mecklenburg,
the two Berlin gents Dreher & Smart return to Acker. Once again they tinkle the ivories of their very own
keyboard of unmistakable groove and start playing some considerable hypnotic chords this time. A
bubbling bass brew and discreet but pretty twisted rhythm constructions form the basis of Flic Flac. The
mysterious wind player samples and sound effects, that hover apparently weightless above those, lend
a dramatic- cinematic expression to the track. Hirnholz, meaning something like brain-wood, keeps
what it’s name implies with a distinct forcing thrust in its lower frequency spectrum, that evolves quite
some mass appeal together with crunching and clicking background noises. Finally the Spiegelkabinett,
the hall of mirrors, is haunted by pregnant with meaning voice recordings which complete with the
dreamy, melodic character and the organic bass line of this track.

B1 Side: NOUVELLE CHANCE (MOLLONO.BASS REMIX)

B2 Side: NOUVELLE CHANCE ( org. PUBKULIES & REBECCA )

There is something distinct jolly, sometimes even tipsy going on within the grooves of the recent Acker
record. For their remixes of “Nouvelle Chance”, the gents Eule:nhaupt and Molle:nhauer skilfully mixed
up very different musical ideas and forcing rhythms with their typical humorous wink. Already the first
bars of version 1 reveal that this track has quite some song character: Founding on bulbous bass sounds,
perky guitar chords and the cheerful but unobtrusive voice of the female French singer find their way
to the ear, and also the driving and rolling percussions create a hand-made impression. The final
take-off of this title happens some time later, when a bouncy piano sets the listener into the mood of a
frisky saloon party in it’s Wild West manner. Also version 2 distinguishes itself by a song-orientated
character but refers to another instrumentation and appears slightly more slim all together. On the
flipside, the remix of Mollono.Bass relinquishes the vocal part and concentrates on a reduced and
functional groove that directly aims the dance floor and delivers that certain variation that is typical for
Acker releases. Finally the original version from the Berlin based duo Pupkulies & Rebecca gives the
available record a laid-back finish.

B1 Side: QUATTROW (RUNDFUNK3000 REMIX)

B2 Side: THE TRIBE

Matching the cold season in northern Europe, Acker Records extends its collection with a beautiful just
as functional ear warmer. Designed by the gents Carsten Rausch and Ferdinand Laurin from the city of
Trier, this acoustic accessory convinces in even four aspects. On the one side, the warm sounds of Shout
can be found, a really inspiring track that develops certain trancy qualities with its throughout melodic
character and some pretty trippy delay experiments. After that, the pleasant boost is taken up by
Quattrow, here the anyway outrageous groove of the lower frequency spectrum is raised to the stakes
by a casual and housey motive. This track is redesigned by the dudes of Rundfunk3000 on the other
side, they serve it on crunchy and highly energetic rhythms and spice it up with their typical, playful
instrumental entries. Finally, The Tribe is also pretty much straight forward and again scores with warm
feel-good sound that dives into intoxicating depths.

A1 Side: OVERTIGHTEN NUT (ORG. MIX)

A2 Side: OVERTIGHTEN NUT (RUNDFUNK3000 REMIX)

B1 Side: OVERTIGHTEN NUT (MOLLONO.BASS REMIX)

Being a passionate
and innovative disc jockey since many years, the club culture of the North German metropolis can not
be imagined without mister Marcus Carp. With the two gentlemen Deo & Z-Man he is accompanied not
only by two equally esteemed colleagues, but also a double portion of Mediterranean temperament and
love of life. Referring to a reduced but highly effective rhythm repertoire, Overtighten Nut develops a
bold and dirty charm. During the break, a twang double bass joins its pretty thick electronic fellow and
makes the frisky bounce complete. For his interpretation, Mollono.Bass stacks up sound layer after
sound layer very sensitively and subtle and so stirs up quite some expectations for a massive take-off
after the short break. Those are fulfilled in every respect. Finally Rundfunk3000 rounds up the available
Acker release with a rather song-orientated approach, featuring a rolling groove and playful instrumental
entries.

B1 Side: SETT DI DOAL (MOLLONO.BASS REMIX)

B2 Side: EVERY DAY REMIX (RADIO MIX)

Again that laid-back, humorous and open-minded character of the people of Mecklenburg glistens from the
grooves of the available Acker record. This time it is represented by the gentlemen Schäufler, who is an
essential part of the local producer and DJ scene since many years, and Zovsky, who was musically
socialized in trancy sceneries and shows a remarkable versatility. Sett Di Doal comes around on a powerful,
pushing bass line, precisely placed percussions, minimal melody fragments and an exotic vocal
sample make this track distinctly stimulating. After that the two dudes pick up the relaxed and cosy
atmosphere of Every Day, which originally hails from the Easy Listening genre, and garnish it with
reduced but very effective rhythms. On the flipside, the Radio Version puts this remix even more in a
nutshell and finally Acker mister Mollono.Bass presents his version of Sett Di Doal on the flipside: Based
on his typical, bouncing groove, he creates a frisky and somehow tropical atmosphere, using refreshing
xylophone sounds and a proper portion of tribalistic percussions.

B1 Side: CANDYSHOCK (Mollonon.Bass Rmx)

B2 Side: CANDYSHOP (Rmx) org. – Fatima Spar

Well, this is gonna be frisky: Go-getting musical globetrotter Eule aka Eulenhaupt meets his DJ colleague Molle aka Mollenhauer, the cheerful dude from Mecklenburg with his special passion for groove. The result of this encounter clearly bears the hallmarks of the two of them and therefore is similar varied and entertaining like the gentlemen themselves. A rich bass makes the head nodding right from the beginning of Candyshock, driving offbeat chords reinforce this effect even more. The percussive composition signalizes a massive departure even before the break, the track finally takes off completely with some playful-euphoric wind instruments. Candydrop starts in a similar mood but this one leads into dubby depths with harmonic keyboard orchestration afterwards. On the B-side Candyshock is re-interpreted by Mollenhauer’s Alter Ego Mollono.Bass. He again adds a mighty portion thrust, dubby sounds and a dreamy oriental vocal hovers between the quotations from the original. Last but not least Eulenhaupt and Mollenhauer rearranged the song Candyshop from the bouncy jazz-folk-crossover combo Fatima Spar and deliver a song-styled composition with friendly accordion sounds and a superb smoky female vocal. As one can hear pretty distinct, not only the name of this title was an important source of inspiration for the available record. Music from Acker for the acre or the cosy freak-out in the club of trust!
