Johannes Klingebiel – Grosse Trommel LP

Following his pre-album ALLES ODER NICHTS EP from October, Johannes Klingebiel finally unveils his full new album for Feines Tier, and this time he’s hitting the Bass Drum, la Gran Cassa, die GROSSE TROMMEL!

Consisting of a collection of tunes written during the lockdown months, you can feel a sense of longing for the dancefloor in the music. As can be said for most of Johannes’ productions it’s walking the line between being ready for the club and your headphones or kitchen HiFi-system at the same time.
Besides the already released EP-tunes some standouts in the tracklist include the title track with its Aphex Twin-esque combination of harsh drum beats and gorgeous melodies, the garage-house-floating beauty SCHWEBEN or the simplistic KLARHEIT with its Kraftwerky minimalism. The soft double-stroke of ACHJA and VIELLEICHT is closing out the record with a melancholic sigh, leaving you thinking „maybe, just maybe it will all work out in the end…“


Popnoname – Horizons LP

You learned that there are genres.
Everything separated into categories with their own canon and rules: Major, minor, 4/4, 6/8, highs, lows, high head, butt end.
Techno here, Disco there. You learned that art and music are two different things. Visually auditory, audio-visual, optically acoustic, not to mention the surface feel.
Listen to me, look at me, touch me. But everything in that order please!
You have learned that understanding takes you further.
Night / life, rhythm / dancing, substance / excess, water / holding out, sleep / rest, headache / not good.
But what would it be if all of that wasn’t just right? If all of our knowledge is based on the mistake of having to put everything in relation? To classify it, to make it responsive.
What do we do with something that doesn’t follow the rules of this logic? That is not based on 0 and 1 and therefore not bound to our binary systems? Is this all at once?
After all, what if the whole thing has no limits?

Jens-Uwe Beyer recently released the Yellow Book with Albert Oehlen on Gagosian and on his own label Magazine. He also runs PNN and Schalen. His 4th album „Horizons“ as Popnoname is the very first long player to be released on Cologne based label Feines Tier.
