Shades

The slat blinds in Berlin's Panorama Bar are part of the VJs equipment, and when the mood is right (usually around Sunday afternoon), he opens them up to allow slices of sunshine to penetrate the smoky club air. It doesnt happen all too often, remaining something special amongst hours of darkness. But as Ruede played the first version of Shades in his last P-Bar set, it seemed to happen just for him, as if he had written this tracks distinct break especially for this moment: everyone was mesmerized. Re.You & Rampa with a RMX for Shades are also no strangers to such euphoria, and as Ruede recently lent them his voice, they return the favor by building a robust, custom-made bass mobile for the A2. Then, on the B-side, Ruedes fellow band members from The Noblettes make an appearance. As with Shades, the focal point is also the big break, only this one has nothing to do with techno its more of an indie-house ballad with dance ambition.
