Record of the week: Miss Platnum - Chefa Miss Pla Record of the week: Miss Platnum - Chefa

Miss Platnum, who hails from Romania, released a fantastic album in 2007 with Chefa, combining R&B, Hip Hop, and Balkan influences.

I remember the super cool music video for „Come marry me“ featuring Peter Fox. The album also includes the anti-slimming anthem „Give me the food,“ the dance floor hits „Mercedes Benz“ and „Butter,“ and other great tracks. Musically, it’s no coincidence that it sounds a bit like Seeed, as DJ Illvibe was involved in the musical production. So hop to it: Put the Vodka on the table and let the party begin!

If we dig deeper into the musical history of Easte If we dig deeper into the musical history of Eastern Europe, we find this gem: Jugoton Funk Vol. 2 – More Beats, Soul, Disco, and Jazz from Yugoslavia 1968–1982.

Jugoton was the largest record label and chain record store in the former Yugoslavia, based in Zagreb. And this double album features a bunch of funky grooves, ready for the dance floor. Highly recommended.

Record of the week: Various - Socialist Disco (Dan Record of the week: Various - Socialist Disco (Dancing behind Yugoslavia’s Velvet Curtain 1977-1987)

I have a soft spot for obscure and unusual compilations, so this double album was just right for me! According to online retailer HHV, this record is one of the best compilations of 2024.

Expertly curated by label owners Leri Ahel and Zeljko Luketic, the compilation includes Zdenka Vučković’s Croatian cover version of Gloria Gaynor’s „I Will Survive,“ a reinterpretation of „Vamos a la Playa“ by the group Opatijski Suveniri, and a decidedly cosmic version of Jade’s „I’m Gonna Get Your Love“ by Roman Butina. And the Yugoslav musicians‘ willingness to experiment extends beyond such cover versions, from Disco and Funk to Italo Disco and influences from Punk and New Wave. It doesn’t all sound perfect and polished, but it is exciting and full of joy. A very cool album. Want to hear it? Then come to my next DJ night.

Thanks a lot, my dream woman. ❤️

A spontaneous impulse buy brought me this masterpiece of 70s and 80s TV series music: The music from the crime series „Derrick“ and „Der Alte“ by the Peter Thomas Sound Orchester in a limited edition in „trench coat beige.“ Simply brilliant. 🧥

Unfortunately, this is only a reissue of the legen Unfortunately, this is only a reissue of the legendary debut album by German band Neu!, but compared to other new pressings with original covers, this one has very good sound quality. 

The album was originally released in 1972 and was named after the band. This edition dates from 1979 and is titled „Hallogallo.“ And it is precisely this track that is legendary: 10 minutes of improvisation with lots of reverb and effects on the guitar, guitar passages played backwards, and the hypnotic, monotonous drumbeat („Motorik,“ 4/4 time with an almost continuous bass drum) by Klaus Dinger. A great piece of Krautrock and a milestone that has influenced many bands.

Record(s) of the week: Can - The lost tapes Kraut Record(s) of the week: Can - The lost tapes

Krautrock, Avant-garde, electronic music, experimental music, but please, don't call it Rock music (as far as the musicians in this band are concerned). Founded in Cologne in 1968, the band Can cannot be pigeonholed into any particular musical style. It’s not really easy listening, but it is exciting. "The Lost Tapes" is a 5 lp box set with lavish packaging and a beautiful booklet, but unfortunately it’s no longer easy to find (at an affordable price). I had to have the box set if only for the title track to the German 1970 television film "Das Millionenspiel" (absolutely worth seeing!). In addition, everything from repetitive psychedelic improvisations to sound experiments is included in this box set. A piece of German music history from the late 1960s and the 1970s, a time when musical experiments also had a chance of (limited) commercial recognition.

Record of the week: The Take Vibe E.P. - The Take Record of the week: The Take Vibe E.P. - The Take Vibe E.P.

This week we have a small record, but what a beauty!

Blue, transparent splatter vinyl with a mash-up giant by Laurence Mason. During the coronavirus lockdown, he mixed the Jazz classic „Take Five“ with „Golden Brown“ by The Stranglers and created a groovy, jazzy version that was a massive hit on YouTube when it was released. So the label Jazz Room Records asked him if he wanted to record and release the song. No sooner said than done, and here is the beautiful piece…

After volumes 1, 2, and 3, number 4 is a must-have. Fabrice Henri, aka Guts, released this double LP in 2024, and it’s once again full of Latin American and African tunes, ranging from lively grooves to dance floor fillers. This blue vinyl is packed with fun and fire! 🔵

Found on the street! My beloved @frausey found a Found on the street!

My beloved @frausey found a small plastic box on the side of the road under a sign that said „Free to a good home.“ And what was inside? A large collection of 7“ singles, mostly Italian pop and disco from the 70s and 80s! Amazing! I’m all set for the next Italo night. 

Many thanks and lots of love to my @frausey ❤️.

By the way: The records weren’t in the pizza box (that’s just for the cliché). The sticker on the second slide is from the plastic box. Cute, isn’t it?

Buon appetito! 🇮🇹

After volumes 1 and 2, the next release finally appeared in 2023 with tracks from Guts‘ legendary DJ sets.

Guts, aka Fabrice Henri, started his career as a beatmaker for the hip hop group Alliance Ethnik. Now he's a producer, musician, label chef, creates hip hop tracks, makes remixes and passionately searches for music from all over the world for his work as a DJ. And there are no borders this time either: Music from Colombia, Ghana, Belize, Suriname, France, Canada and so on. The main thing is that it’s danceable and funky. A well-rounded affair in yellow vinyl. 🟡

A rather unusual record in my collection: Programm A rather unusual record in my collection: Programme Production Number 2 from the Berry Music label, released in 1971. Of course, none of the tracks can be found in the Instgram music library. And ultimately, the purchase was only made for nostalgic reasons.

As a child of the 60s and 70s, you may remember the radio programme „Passiert, notiert“ on HR1. My mother always listened to the programme when she wasn’t listening to Deutschlandfunk. And the music has stayed with me to this day.

The intro of course was a version of „Drums à Go-Go“ by Sandy Nelson. But I had to search for the outro for some time until I found out that it was the instrumental piece „Boo Boo Bang“ by the Brandenburg Pop Symphony Orchestra. The record itself was actually only intended for commercial use and not for private use. Well, Discogs now makes it possible…

If you want to know what the track sounds like: You can find a video on YouTube.

Record of the week: El Búho - Tributaries Vol. 2 Record of the week: El Búho - Tributaries Vol. 2

The musical mix of old and new, folklore, tradition and electronic music never fails to inspire me. That’s why I couldn’t resist this remix album by UK-born producer and musician El Búho. French, Galician, Estonian, Colombian and other influences from all over the world are fused with modern sounds, sometimes danceable, sometimes ethereal but always interesting. Very, very beautiful.
