Theodor - "Mirror"
Album: "Theodor" (LP)
Label: Broc Recordz
Release date: February 24, 2023
Video: https://youtu.be/wFMkSVS15po

Broc Recordz: "THEODOR is a psychedelic sweet soul band formed by members with diverse musical backgrounds.

Whilst on a road trip to Italy Rob and Lui were listening to tapes of contemporary soul music. The idea was born to record an album channeling a moody and relaxed soundscape. „Right after our trip we called up our good friends Max and Greg, who were immediately on board. We wrote and recorded deep in the pandemic. Those weekend sessions captured this peaceful solitude“ The outcome was their self-titled debut album which will be released in February 2023 on the french label Broc Recordz. The rich sonic texture and unconventional arrangements of their very first single SHEPARD’S LULLABY gives a hint on what is to be expected on their forthcoming LP. THEODOR created a perfect soundtrack for a hot and humid summer day having a magic dash in your twelve o’clock tea. Playful melodic bass lines and the soulful acoustic drums build the playground for the warm and dreamy keys such as farfisa organs, fender rhodes and 80's synths. The lush instrumentals are spiced by the very different yet complementary voices of Max and Lui."

The Black Fire - "Cream" (reissue 1973 LP)
Label: Cinedelic Records
Release date: 2015

Cinedelic Records: "“Cream” by The Black Fire is a nearly impossible to find italian LP from 1973. A Library album that mix several themes including psychedelic sexy whispered s**t vocals, space synth lounge, lazy bossa with spinetta, fender rhodes and a lot of congas, bongos and insane flutes; it also includes the killer wah-wah funk tune “Alcoholic” used years later as the opening song of the kung fu movie Operation Cobra aka Squadra Omicidi Chiama Cobra.
Original colorful artwork by the painter G. Pinna.
Glossy Cinedelic cover with fifth colour gold."

Label: Piano Piano
Release date: Dec 02, 2022

Sven Wunder: "As the day fades, darkness falls like a blanket covering the sky. It can take us back to our happy place, where we can find ease in a fast-moving world. It’s nighttime and the darkest time of the year. This is when stars align and dreams come true.

Sven Wunder returns to his happy place with two nocturnal winter themes played by piano and a small orchestra framed by a sparkling flute and celestial choirs."

The WAITIKI 7 - "Adventures in Paradise" (CD album)
Label: Pass Out Records
Release date: 2009 august 18

"The WAITIKI 7’s Debut Release, Adventures in Paradise, Reinvents Classic Exotica for Modern Ears

Release Date: August 18, 2009

(Commemorates the 50th Anniversary of Hawai‘i's Statehood)

If, while listening to The WAITIKI 7’s debut album Adventures in Paradise you find yourself daydreaming of sipping a cocktail from a tiki mug while lolling about idyllically on a Hawaiian beach as birds sing merrily in the trees not too far away, then you get it. Adventures in Paradise, to be released August 18th on Pass Out Records, is a contemporary reimagining of the classic exotica sound introduced on the islands exactly 50 years ago—the year of Hawaii's statehood—by Martin Denny, a transplanted mainland pianist who tapped into the tropical zeitgeist, stirred together several disparate elements, and created a whole new sound in the process.

“Exotica,” explains Randy Wong, the 28-year-old bassist, music director and co-founder of The WAITIKI 7, “floats in the zone between soundscapes and an early world music hybrid. Denny took popular WWII-era Hawaiian Island songs (themselves already set to jazz harmonies, and
incorporating folk songs from the Far East) and a Latin feel and then added birdcalls. He took large orchestrations intended for full symphonic orchestra and pared them down to make them feasible in the combo context. But exotica just sort of stopped developing in the ’60s.”

Which is where The WAITIKI 7 comes in. Although they bow at the altar of Martin Denny and other exotica pioneers such as Les Baxter and Juan Garcia Esquivel, The WAITIKI 7—whose name cleverly fuses that of the famous Honolulu beach with the faux-Polynesian gods ubiquitous in island culture—is a band for today. The WAITIKI 7 retains the essence of Denny-era exotica and reconstitutes it for contemporary audiences raised on a multitude of clashing musical genres and pop culture images.

Label: Les Disques Bongo Joe
Release date: 2022 nov 11

"DOST is a Turkish word that you can translate into English simply as ‘friend’.

DOST is a friend, a comrade, a brother, a sister and even more than that.
DOST is the connection to keep this life and world meaningful, significant and equal. To maintain respect, tolerance & the moments of love and peace. To keep growing and learning from each other. To allow yourself and others to live their lives as they chose.

This album is an appeal to those who believe in friendships; who believe in DOST.

DOST is dedicated to Reto.

Fleur - "Bouquet Champêtre" (LP)
Label: Soundflat Records
Release date: 2022 nov 11

"Bouquet Champêtre means ‘field bouquet’: a nonchalant bunch with flowers in different colors, shapes and lengths. It’s not tight and monochromatic, but wild, uneven and composed of all kinds of flowers. Each flower is beautiful, but combine them in the right way and you get an overwhelming whole.

The same goes for this album. You can enjoy each song for its own sound and feel, but listen to the album as a whole and you will find yourself floating on top of Fleur’s warm breathy voice in a musical Bouquet Champêtre filled with rich colors, sounds and smells inspired by such albums as The Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds, The Zombies’ Odessey and Oracle, France Gall’s 1968 and the soul of Motown. Great stuff from a great decade, but Fleur is NOW and she is in full bloom!

Recorded, mixed and mastered by Arjan Spies
Produced by Arjan Spies and Paul Zoontjens "
