Jewels / Ol Times
Just in time to move summer dancefloors around the world, Alex Niggemann, Superlounge and Marc Poppcke present the second release on their label: SOULFOOLED - a new platform designed to welcome music enthusiasts, artists, dancers and performers to their own distinctive brand of house music. With a mission to mix club oriented production style, a passionately independent label identity, and the emotive deepness of house, it's no surprise that artists all over the world already play Cat.No.001. Label owner Alex Niggemann and "kindisch"-artists Findling & Lihab bringing you the second Soulfooled release. The vinyl A side of release No.002 is brought by one of the label owners himself. Alex Niggemann. "Jewels" is a track that gives you the sensation or maybe a vague feeling that something wild is going to happen. Alex Niggemann builds up the tention slowly. With a deep beat and some ethnical vocals he combines the secrets of an ancient world with the nowadays club scene. The warm toned percussions groove at a pace that definitely makes you move your feet, then your hips follow until your whole body moves to the rythmn. With lots of athmospheric details Alex Niggemann has created an audio piece to start perfect open air dj sets with. Listening closely to it one can determine bells, street noises, sounds of goats or sheeps and a crowd talking. These elements are floating timelessly and combine into a hypnotic wave of sounds. To create a striking dynamic the producer has used calmness within intense passages. But the slightly more suble moments soon open up and harmonic string chords form into the arrangement which are eclapsing in the vocal hook line, one can barely not memorize. After former releases at labels such as Hi-Freaks and Kindisch the recenty formed Soulfooled is proud to present this Munich dj and producer team with a staggering new track: Findling & Lihab created a deephouse mix with "Ol'times" combining smooth vocals with raw edgy chords. The warm voices of old men telling stories about nights dancing and films they fell in love with are arranged with wind instruments and a pleasant deep groove. The sounds are naturally based, also, but different to Alex Niggemanns "Jewels" they are transformed electronically to a bigger extent. Though the stimulating track grooves with the same smoothness. As an opener it gives you deep impulses for a perfect night. Perfect add-ons to this vinyl are the digital only remixes of David Durango (Poker Flat), who will be in duty for his own release on Cat.No.003 as well and of 'Suols' Till von Sein & Chopstick.
