>> Tiefschwarz
bio: Well it's been their year really hasn't it! Tiefschwarz have been the dance music stars of 2004. Their stunning debut album ?Ral 9005? put the boys from Berlin on the map in 2002. Now two years on and with undoubtably the remix of the 2004 to their name (Spektrum ?Kinda New?), Tiefschwarz have become one of the world's most promising and sort after acts. ?Misch Masch? is a two CD release; the first CD is Tief?s first mix album, while the second CD brings together pretty much all their remixes of recent times. 'Misch Masch' comes spread over two CD?s. The first CD is a mix album, a snap-shot of the sets the brothers Ali and Basti Schwarz aka Tiefschwarz have been playing all over globe in recent months. Featuring artists such as Mylo, Kiki, Tiga, Derrick May and Mathew Jonson, it's a fine collection from one of the world's hottest electronic artists.
CD 2 is a collection of their critically acclaimed remixes (with the exception of their Kelis and Rapture mixes), many available for the first time on CD. It?s these mixes which have been dominating dancefloors all year. The exclusive collection including their re-rubs of Spektrum 'Kinda New', undoubtably the biggest record in Ibiza this summer, DJ Hell 'Listen To The Hiss' and Phonique 'The Red Dress'. Ali comments: "When you are making a compilation it's more sensitive, than a set in a club. You have more time to think about your selection. We have been playing all the tracks on 'Misch Masch' in our sets and we wanted to use tracks that sat between the lines. We didn't want to just put a lot of acid or electro on there because that is hot right now. We wanted to make a mix that would stand the test of time, 'Misch Masch' is about good music not just a selection of the hottest tunes of right now. So there are a lot of new bits in there with some classics like Derrick May 'The Dance' thrown in, tracks that have inspired us.?
" The remixes we have done we are really proud of and we were keen to put them on an album. It signs off what has been two really successful years for us. The mixes have allowed us to DJ all over the world which has been fantastic. T In The Park, Sonar and Benicassim festivals are a few highlights but now it's time to end that phase and get on with our artist album". There will be a 'Misch Masch' launch party at Gossips in Soho at Riton's Druzzi's night on 14th October. More news on that soon. Tracklisting CD 1
