discourant

Forget that Potter kid, Gandalf or Merlin, and get ready for a new chapter in the world of wonder and bewitchment. Get ready for The Magician.

His background is shrouded in mystery, his powers are supernatural and his reputation is whispered about among men. He goes by different names, but folks just call him The Magician.

Magic Tape Four by TheMagician




One night not so long ago, he appeared from a place between space and time. The Magician stepped into this world, materializing in a cloud of crystal stars and soft pink smoke. Some say he is the guardian angel of all resident DJ’s, others claim he’s a former airline pilot who crashed an afterparty – some say it’s just an illusion, a well performed hoax. But is it really?
Everywhere The Magician goes, there’s music in the air. People come under his spell and dance like there’s no tomorrow. Lost in a purple haze, transfixed in a flurry of white doves. He makes clubbers float through disco heaven and takes them around the house on a magic carpet ride. Behind his green translucent eyes, there’s an unlimited knowledge of the musical past, present and future.

Magic Tape Three by TheMagician
 

The Magician shifts shapes in a heartbeat and appears all throughout the world. One moment he’s sprinkling space dust on the Balearic isles, next he’s performing his rhythmic hocus pocus between the smoke and mirrors of a glitzy nightclub in Santiago or Moscow. When he vanishes, the only proof of his existence The Magician leaves are his ‘magic tapes’, a sample of his magnetising skills.

Magic Tape Two by TheMagician
 

No magic wand or top hat needed, it’s all in his wizardly mind and flexible fingertips. The Magician has more than one trick up his sleeve though; word has it that the mystery man is working on a special formula to transform the musical workings of others – and don’t be amazed if, one day, he perfects his craft and creates his very own brand of spectral sounds.

Magic Tape One by TheMagician


I hope you enjoyed the show, we'll be back as soon as he pulls something new out his hat.
Rumors go that he is working on a EP and we're waiting for a release of a remix he made for The Aikiu.

Morning Factory are two creatures of this planet who believe that life is rhythm and tone. Rhythm is the pace we follow and tone is the vibration that we send out into the universe with much love and unlimited amount of emotion. Music is their primary outlet of expression and escape. They are now currently releasing music on labels like yore and 20:20 visions and others...

New Memories is Morning Factories latest releases on yore.
Here are some of my favorite tracks from this EP. Enjoy these electronic moments of acid orientated deep-house.


Morning Factory Cherish (yore027) by Morning Factory

Starting their musical lives working in a record shop in the early 90's, Morning Factory’s life was all (and actually still is) about collecting records. "Enzovoort " and "Love's got me High" are clearly two guys with an open mind and a deeply rooted passion for (quality) electronic music.  Naming yourselves after a Ron Trent & Chez Damier track is a pretty strong statement of intent and you have to have the talent to match. Luckily these two guys from The Netherlands can walk the walk,


Morning Factory Radio Show (yore027) by Morning Factory

In September I've posted this mix from Morning Factory by "Enzovoort" cause it made me feel 17 again, it was like in the old days when Joep used to make us these mix-tapes full of french-orientated house music. I must say it was and still is a privilege to know somebody like Enzovoort cause he gave us a wider perspective of house music in the early nighties. He managed and succeeded  in most cases to turn our hardcore-minded heads into another direction. Showing us the reel love of house music... I must say he brought some culture in our lives!
Together with Jean-Pierre, whom I've met performing and organizing at several "Common People" parties at Ipanema, on his side this dynamic duo is definitely well equipped, highly educated  and know their way around.

Swedish dance band Drop Out Orchestra has a lot in common with discourant. Both of them
have a sincere  addiction for Daft Punk, Disco and Edits. As they exclusively pre-release there
new album "We Are Dropouts" on juno today, we give them some extra credit for what they've been doing.

One of my favorites tracks by them must be Drop Out City Rockers "International Track".

Drop Out City Rockers - International Track by Drop Out Orchestra



I found this remake of DaftPunk's "Around the World" a while ago on Last Gas Station, a great music blog from Greece. Handed it out to harderbloggerfaster because they were looking for the track on facebook and the idea to begin this blogspotpage became more and more a reality.

On We Are Dropouts  you find a tribute to one of their favourite Supremes songs, ‘My World Is Empty Without You’... My World Is Empty Without Dub


by Drop Out Orchestra

Also on this album a redub version off Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up"

I hope you enjoyed the trip... buy Drop Out Orchestra's album We-Are-Dropouts on Juno now!

Discourant: Discoscience NUMB3R 1: by [BRUNO BANANI]



Mix Discourant November Bruno Banani by discourant

We are pleased to present you our first Discourant Discoscience.
A groovy disco-house mix made by  [BRUNO BANANI]. After hearing him play at zondag and talking trough some goals at several other parties, bruno was excited to join Discourant. By getting him on board we added a touch of soul to our FB-blog and a talented DJ to our discoalition. With some good old classics from Herbie Hancock and Bruno's own disco-muse Luisa Fernandez,  guides his posting us trough music that everyone should know.
Bruno (whom is not Japenese btw -->yos-blog ;-) but wants to be BIG IN JAPAN) added some vocals during the first three songs making it sound like a live radiopodcast and giving it a little personal touch.
Listen to this 85 minutes funky celebration off eargasms and discolove. Thanx a lot Bruno.
You can find the track list here or at bruno's soundcloud.
   

Here is the video for the new  E.P. Mondo Vagabondo. Violent Love feat. Parisian singer Clara Cometti. The video was done by Munich/Paris artist brothers Kill The Tills and American photographer Hadley Hudson.
MUNK is the project of Mathias Modica. Besides producing music and djing, Mathias runs  with his buddy Jonas Imbery aka TELONIUS, Germany's GOMMA label . The label of WhoMadeWho, Moulinex, Phenomenal Handclap Band and others.


Munk - Mondo Vagabondo EP by Gomma

Worldwide release of the Munk EP today on I-tunes. …. remixes by The Twelves and Social Disco Club out in 3 weeks! buy Mondo Vagabondo on I-tunes

Because of technical problems, which still are a bit of a mystery for me, I had to change the video source. In the mean time I found this mix that Mathias did for the Italian blog DiscoSafari. 
The mix starts with the not yet released Munk remix of the new Jolly Jams E.P. and after some more straight house tracks it gets more and more into mid 70ies weird disco funk with an quite Arabian and Spanish flavor. Check out Munk’s edit of Turkish funk from Baris Manco or the rare Italian funk tracks in the end.
