sandboy "wanderlust
remix EP vol. 2" hint005, 12" release date 04/2005 order now
lyrics With anticipation running high for this second volume of remixes of the delightful Wanderlust album released with success in 2004, Sandboy’s fanbase will not be disappointed by this long awaited spring wax delivery. After having received major reviews in Straight No Chaser and DJ Magazine, generated massive respect from cognoscienti such as Jimpster, Jazzanova or Alan Brown and conquered the hearts of Japanese record collectors, Sandboy will probably trigger off another range of applause with this fresh vinyl teaser out of the forthcoming cd album "echoes" due late summer. After some challenging aural & visual dj experiences across Europe & Russia with the precious help of Belgian VJ SUB-, Tobias Meggle decided to get back to his Bavarian soundlab to concentrate on new compositions recorded this winter with the haunting vocals of Sonar Kollektiv’s mermaid Clara Hill and Randolph Matthews from Abstract Blue fame. He also took the time to give a new life to his classic "Written In The Leaves" and rework some Gerd (feat. Vanessa Freeman) & Plastyc Buddah material for Belgian imprint Lea. The result of these studio experiments will be displayed in full length on his forthcoming concept album conceived as a double angle sound journey in the poetic world of Sandboy by the artist himself but also from the perspective of some like-minded funkateers. Indeed besides his own new tracks and his own remixes for fellow producers, the cd will feature tasty reworkings courtesy of high profile remixers such as Stavanger’s Butti 49 (hifi terapi, Guidance, Exceptional), Verona’s Volcov (Archive, Neroli, Compost), Rotterdam’s Gerd (4Lux, Freerange, LEA) and London’s Break Reform (Abstract Blue) all previously released on Hinterland vinyl only. To complete this inspiring collection, 4 new remixes will be included on "echoes" now released as this limited 4 tracker vinyl sampler. Proving once again his singular artistic vision, Tobias has given entire freedom to young cats of the scene like Season, Leroy Schlimm and Smiles Ahead who all choosed spontaneously to explore their favourite Wanderlust moments. A1 lua nua Smiles Ahead 3 Tees Remix This remix was genuinely the birth of the new production duo of Metronomic Family headhoncho and freestyle pioneer dj Philarmonix and French based musician and producer David Alexander that decided to step in the studio to symbolize their longtime friendship and musical complicity. After several listenings, Sandboy himself had difficulties to believe that this remix was truly their first studio experience together the track uniting so perfectly the tight arrangements and musicianship of David with the hip hop breaks sensibility of Phil. With a deep respect for the original composition and the voice of Nice Ferreira, this bumpy bass rework will make you groove all summer. Already tested & approved by Outlines, Jimpster, Jmix, Mad Mats, Simon Harisson and David Borsu among others... www.metronomic-family.com A2 les éclairs Leroy Schlimm Remix 31 years old upcoming German producer Leo Hopfinger known as the co-founder of the Rawheit collective delivers a stunning melancholic version with self played guitar lines that contrasts cleverly with the lyrics of Marianne Kirch, the distorted synths and the syncopated raw drum programming. A very powerful piece of music that brings the Jazzanova-esque original production in darker and unknown territories. Think about Suzanne Vega stuck in an elevator with Telefon Tel Aviv... www.leroyschlimm.de B1 lua nua Leroy Schlimm Remix Based on an hybrid of bossa patterns and afro guitar licks that create a driving hypnotic climax scattered with original vocal elements, Leroy’s mix contains a subtle building-up full of distorted echoes that will set freestyle dancefloors on fire. B2 pomegranate Season Remix Known for his respected Offtrack weekly radioshow, Dirk Rumpff has translated in a studio experience his impeccable taste and musical sensibility with the help of Salvador Group’s members under the Season moniker. He was also the one that introduced judiciously the angel grace of Break Reform’s Nanar Vorperian to Sandboy and led to the recording of the original composition. It was then a logical step for Season, after a few appearances on Compost and Ritmo and a first remix for Gerd’s 4Lux, to explore in their own way this beautiful love poem. The result is a technological dub odyssey of 6 minutes 30 creating a slo-mo hypnotic groover with a sober and classy use of Nanar’s voice. www.offtrack.org |

| "Steadfast and solid,
another utterly dependable selection of mixes from one of the true
underground sonic identifications that is Hinterland records. All
mixes fit like a Recaro ergonomic bucketseat in a F14 Tomcat. Electronic
organic, organic electronic, its all the same, its all music, and
it's all good. Nice to see the up and coming production crews paying
respect to the original compositions and songs. Nothing worse then
nucrews adding twenty tablespoons of sugar to a single cup of your
favourite musical beverage. Yeap, remixed with love and a loyality
to the sound of Sandboy and Hinterland records and totally without
taking the glory themselves. Remember guys "you are only the
remixer" ;) Respect to Season, Smiles Ahead and Leroy Schlimm
for remembering this and paying homage and respectful deference to
the art of remixing. A great all round selection of mixes for some
great all round songs, excellent 12". Personal rating:
9/10" (Alan Brown, Cukipapa, Soul Seduction) "Excellent set of remixes and hopefully you've noticed it high in my chart, on this weeks show and on my next nu-world mix which will be online later this week. Thanks again and keep the excellent music coming" (Simon Harrison, basic soul) "what a great letter/packaging. As for the reaction yeah, number one is my fave. Also classy Season rmx too. Well done." (volcov, neroli) "Both teasing fans in anticipation of his forthcoming album echoes and giving fans of Wanderlust new mixes to drool over, Sandboy is back with another remix EP full of solid mixes. Perhaps one of the most crisp production sets I’ve ever heard, these remixes are SO clean that it’s amazing they retain the soul of the originals. The packaging on this promo CD alone is a major statement of the level of quality that hinterland is all about. I’d say the thing that separates these remixes from the various remix EPs out there is the sheer fact that every track sounds as if it was / could be played by a live band. A very rare trait in a lot of so-called 'nu-jazz' these days. The only mix that didn’t really blow me away was the Season remix of 'Pomegranate' and that’s no knock at Season. The original piece is just so beautiful on it’s own that I don’t even think I’d have the guts to touch it as a remixer." (Adam Kurzawa, Giant Step) "Love the nu material… electro, brazilian broken beat that really rolls along ('lua nua')… must win design award for best CD promotion presentation too, beautiful packaging… will showcase them on the programme…" (Trevor Parkee, Departure Lounge) "One of the best tracks (smiles ahead rmx) I've been sent in a long time, wonderful." Jmix (Citrona, Lime Sorbet & International Freeridin Radioshows) "… really like the 'Smiles Ahead Threes Tees Mix' …he got that magic touch! Good luck with this one!" (Mad Mats / Raw Fusion / Jugglin’ Records) "Well, I’ve been rockin’ the shit out of Lua Nua (HOT HOT HOT) track… I wish I had it on vinyl… we prefer vinyl, cause I play out at various NYC clubs… but CD is good for the radio show! Thanks for the beautiful envelope, CD, etc. … you’re very good at design and presentation… A++" (Ernesto Vigo) "Very groovy remix! I was expecting the bass dropped earlier but this is the surprising Smiles Ahead effect… Once it is coming, it never stops! Very promising…" (Ali Tillett / Warm Nights & Agency) "'Lua Nua' - (Smiles ahead remix) is in my top 10." (Paul Gamblin) "Impressive! The remix (smiles ahead rmx) is kicking the original version… More groovy, less keys, a deep bassline and a solid drum programming! Bien joué!" (Irfane / Outlines, Sonar Kollektiv) "I like it a lot. esp. the leroy schlimm rmxsm (both) they are my favorites… i will surly play it on my radio shows." (Samy Birnbach / DJ Morpheus) "Great!!! I like all the mixes, pushed me in a good mood. Great package !!! One track will be in line as track of the month (april). 'les eclairs' (leroy schlimm remix) seems that came out from a teaser ep of the 'secret love' compilation of sonar kollektiv… 'pomegranate' (season remix) is waiting to played back 2 back from domu mix of break reform’s 'waiting', the warmest remix of 2005 until now/u can’t hear it u just can feel it!!! 'lua nua' (smiles ahead three tees remix) is an uplifting emotional broken beat attack, it rocks … 'lua nua' (leroy schlimm remix) is an electro afro folk surpice, words are not enough!!! (DJ Nova / Rodon FM95) "Hinterland delivers a varied package of reworks on Sandboy’s original material and never disappoints. Some of the names may not be familiar to common people but that is for me even a bigger argument to play it which I’ll do on my 'Cooltronica' radio show. I particularly like the ambients of this EP. Looking forward to the next one." Rating: 8/10, Favourite track: Season’s remix" (Rui Torrinha, Groovement / R.U.M. [97.5 FM]) "I DEFINITELY LOVE IT, especially A1 'Lua Nua' remixed by Smiles Ahead and 'les éclairs' by Leroy Schlimm. I will chart these." (DJ Duke) "Thanks for the cd, 1 - leroy schlimm 'not that much into the singing, but definitely into the guitar playing… love this kind of post-rock atmosphere… brilliant guitarist !!" (bruno / patchworks) "First of all, love the ingenious packaging… Nice… The music then, really good, use it most of the time in my sets at the moment…" (Manu Boubli, Mind / Comet) "Great remixes of all 3 tracks. The Meggle camp excells once again… As normall.. I’ve had a lot of use from it & often play 3 of the 4 tracks when i’m dj’ing.. Pomegranate is a great tune to play early on in a set. Just watch everybodys heads nod… . It just gets people in the right mood…Also…The vocals!!!!!! It just makes you wanna listen to it, Real hard. I guess that’s what you ultimately want from making your music. If i’ve had enough of watching peoples heads nodding…… I play either of the Lua Nua tracks… That normally gets um up !!" (Gary Johnson) "This bunch of remixes has a really high standard. All of them sound like if they had been produced by long time career famous artists!!! so its a quite nice surprise to find out people like Philarmonix and David Alexander showing such a great talent!!! I have liked all the very professional production skills shown in here and the warm atmospheres created. As previously mentioned, my favourite cut is Lua Nua -Leroy Schlimm rmx- due to that powerful drum pattern and uplifting tempo. Season’s remix of Pomegranate is also a very remarkable one, and I could easily drop it in my radio shows or at a warm up slot in a club session. The other two tracks do not quite fit into the sounds I tend to play as they are a bit too electronic for my taste. In my personal opinion, vocals are not impressive either and do not stand out from hundreds of similar tracks around… Not for me, sorry. I will try to keep supporting this release from my show!!! keep tuned!!" (Javi / Club Expansions) "I am really enjoying it. Lua Lua especially is the one for me. Sweet rhodes, sweet vocals and rough beats - what else do you need?! Props to Phil!" (Ennio Styles) "Sehr schöne sachen geworden, mal wieder. besonders die beiden leroy schlimm mixe wissen zu gefallen. sollte man den namen kennen??? also ich kannte ihn noch nicht, werde ihn aber im auge behalten. auch der smiles ahead mix kommt schön ins ohr. nur vom season mix bin ich bislang nicht 100%tig überzeugt. trotzdem sehr feines release!" (Thomas Franke / Commusication) "Vielen Dank für die Sandboy-Remixe. Besten Dank und Einsätze folgen." (Matthias Kirsch, JazzRadio 101,9) "Finde nach dem ersten reinhören track 1 und 3 super. Ich werde B1 von der EP spielen. Ist (für mein Set) der Beste ;-) " (Ralf Gum / GOGO Music) "Danke fuer noch eine portion SANDBOY! Wird gespielt und supported @ B92, wie immer. 'Lua Nua' Smiles Ahead Three Tees Mix ist mein Favorit." (Nebojsa / Jazzmate) "Die Tracks gefallen mir sehr gut, hätte aber auch nichts anderes erwartet, nur der Remix von Pomegranate ist vielleicht ein wenig zu straight geraten, da finde ich das Original schöner. Aber das kann man nur schlecht in einem Café oder einer Bar spielen, daher geht diese Version auch in Ordnung." (Mitja Marosa / Freies Radio für Stuttgart / Radio Neckar "supreme") "Habe gerade erst mit verpätung die sandboy remixe bekommen. danke dafür. mein favorit sind die season & smiles ahead mixes. sehr schön." (Ingo Sänger, Eins Live, Westpark Unit) "Es bahnt sich bereits ein zweites Album aus dem bayrischen Hinterland an, doch Mastermind Tobias Meggle lies simultan weitere Seelenverwandte an seinem Erstling schrauben. Zunächst DJ Philharmonix (Metronomic) und David Alexander, die sich erstmals zusammen ins Studio und als Smiles Ahead auch wieder heraus wagten. Dabei schaffen sie auf Anhieb den Spagat zwischen den eigenen Wurzeln, der verträumten Tiefe des Originals und dem Gesang von Nice Ferreira. Erstaunlich, wie die Funkdrums zu den Latin-Vibes passen. Season, die Kollaboration von Dirk 'OFFtrack' Rumpff und der Salvador Group, trifft auf die Stimme von Break Reforms Nanar und tauchen sie in glasklare dubbige Soundkollagen und Claps aus dem Off. Obendrein kommt Leroy Schlimm mit gleich zwei Stücken - erst folky dann bossalastig - zum ersten Release und unterstreicht den Mut Meggles, auf große Namen und Clubgebolze zu verzichten - der Qualität zuliebe. 1A-Homelistening." (mpq / De:Bug / Groove / Level 47) "Im großen und ganzen finde ich alle mixe sehr gelungen, auch wenn ich finde, dass sie die athmosphärische dichte deiner original-tracks nicht ganz erreichen. aber vielleicht war das ja auch gar nicht sinn der sache, denn sie bringen ja auf jeden fall andere aspekte zum vorschein… besonders schön finde ich die beiden mixe von leroy schlimm. vor allem die gitarre mag ich sehr gerne. übrigens habe ich letzte woche beim auflegen wieder den butti49-remix von 'viver' gespielt, der ist glaube ich nach wie vor mein favorit." (Hannes Bieger / LLava) "… sind nette remixes, die ich in kürze in 'Sunny Side Up' vorstellen werde." (Makossa / FM4) "Finde alle Remixe sehr gelungen." (Peter Kruder) read more reviews... |
