Schweisstreibende Nächte im Club und sonnendurchflutete Morgenstunden..
„Musik = Die gemeinsame Sprache der Menschheit“, sagte eins der amerikanische Dichter Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Es gibt weitere Zitate die versuchen Musik zu erklären. Und sie alle treffen sicher zu. Musik verstehen kann man aber nur indem man sie hört. Musik wird erschaffen um gehört zu werden. Und deshalb muss ich hier schreiben: „Happy Anniversary, Acryl Music!“

Nach dem Start im Jahr 2004 steht mit ‘Need For Faith’ von Labelgründer Da Funk die 50. Veröffentlichung in den Startlöchern. Mit dabei im saftigen Release-Paket: Remixe von Si Brad, Pete Moss, Elmar Schubert und Q-Burns Abstract Message.

Wow, was für ein Release! Ein Stelldichein der alten House-Hasen und Helden der Jugend (im Anschluss an die Teeny-Jahre). Produzenten, die auf damals grossen Labels wie Naked Music oder Dessous Recordings veröffentlichten. Da huscht einem ein Lächeln über das Gesicht, wenn man den Werdegang von Acryl Music von Anfang an mitverfolgt hat!

Angetrieben durch eine kickende Bassdrum und einer dicken anaologen Basslinie entwickelt sich ‘Need For Faith’ von Da Funk zu einem hypnotischen Tanzflur-Torpedo. Sphärische Flächen, verträumte Synth’s und Chords und leicht düstere Effekt-Spielereien runden das Klanggebilde ab.

Remixe von alten Haudegen
Nun könnte man hier zu jedem Remix detailliert etwas schreiben. Das würde den Rahmen aber ein wenig sprengen. Deshalb nur kurz etwas zu den Remixern:

Simon Bradshaw (Toko Records, Paper Recordings, Naked Music) – wohl bekannter unter seinen Aliases Si Brad, Attaboy oder Weekender-, Pete Moss (Recline Records, Ovum Records, Dessous Recordings), Elmar Schubert (Freerange Records, Naked Music) und Q-Burns Abstract Message (Eighth Dimension Records, Astralwerks, NRK).

Weil es bei dieser Auswahl schwierig ist die Stücke zu beschreiben, lass ich es besser. Aber meinen Lieblings-Remix von ‘Need For Faith’ kann ich noch nennen und zum Hören einladen: derjenige von Elmar Schubert.

Swiss producer and Acryl Music head honcho Da Funk, takes over for the label's golden release, "Need For Faith"!

Acryl Music has been industry since 2004, but it is only now that the label releases its 50th release-- a clear sign that it's always quality over quantity for Da Funk and the guys behind the label.

Together with the original, expect authentic deep house remixes from Si Brad (Simon Bradshaw), Pete Moss, Elmar Schubert, and Q-Burns Abstract Message.

Swiss-based deep house label, Acryl Music just released its fourth installation of "In the Night"! For starters, Acryl Music, with the providence of head honcho Da Funk (Daniel Kneubühler), has been one of the staples of the deep house scene since 2004. As they launch another fresh batch of tunes ranging from well-loved classics to never-heard grooves, the artists on the label give us a feel of that trademark Acryl Music vibe they have perfected all these years.

Ein musikalischer Begleiter durch die Nacht – Acryl Music Presents: In The Night Vol. 4

Hier ist sie: die vierte Werkschau des Schweizer Houselabels Acryl Music! Wie die Jahre zuvor wurden die musikalischen Juwelen gestandener Label-Acts des vergangenen Jahres gepaart mit den funkelnden, musischen Rohdiamanten neu gesignter Künstler. Und so führt die Compilation auf eine Reise durch die Nacht.

Vom downbeatigen „Lost In Translation“ von George Horn über das cosmic-discoide „Hold Spellbound“ von Hakimonu zum Deep House eines Craig Stewart in Office Gossip’s Version von „Make Me“ und dem Tech House des Terry Lee Brown Junior’s in seiner Interpretation des Stücks „Think Global“ von Ocean Gaya.



Durch die Nacht geleiten zudem musikalische Hörgenüsse von Künstlern wie Elmar Schubert, Pablo Fierro, Onur Ozman, The Messenger oder Label-Inhaber Da Funk persönlich. Was dieser zur vierten Label-Compilation zu sagen hat, erzählte er Klang der Nacht – in zwei Sprachen – beim gemütlichen Zusammensitzen.

Interview Da Funk - Acryl Music Presents: In The Night Vol. 4 - English by Klang der Nacht

Acryl Music Presents: In The Night Vol. 4 – wahrlich ein definitives Zeichen, dass der Sommer kommt. Musik für sonnige und chillige Abendstunden, leicht groovende Warm Up’s bis hin zu treibenden Nächten in zuckenden Lichtern eines Clubs. Ein musikalischer Begleiter durch die Nacht, halt.

Acryl Music has been featured in the may issue of the iDJ Magazine (UK) under the "labels to watch" category. check it out!

Adham & Hisham Zahran released “Purple Sunday / Triplets” a couple of weeks ago under Acryl Music. The release was so highly-acclaimed that it garnered a remix package for the track “Triplets” dubbed as “Triplets: the Remixes”!

Stepping in for this special release on Acryl Music are Alvaro Hylander, Big Al, and Christoph Kardek!

Straight from the streets of Zurich, Switzerland, “Shadow of the Statue” EP by the very young and talented Turkish producer— Onur Ozman— is the latest craft Acryl Music has to offer! This EP spawns “Shadow of the Statue” and “Music is Rectangular”, two mint and highly-sophisticated tracks from Onur Ozman.

“Shake That Thing” ist schon mal eine Ansage. Der langsam immer tiefer rubbelnde Groove auch, aber dann werden die Hintergrundsamples immer intensiver und man hat fast das Gefühl, dass hier jemand einen Technotrack in einem Housegroove zu verstecken sucht.

Brüllende Basslines, schnittige Sequenzen, purer Workout. Der Pablo Fierro Dub macht das einiges smoother, verliert aber in den wohlklingenden Synths manchmal die Übersicht, und die beiden anderen Mixe braucht es nicht.
Bleed (De:Bug)

Vor allem der klassisch zitternde Onur Ozman Remix hat es mir hier angetan, denn in dem fast typischen Technogroove entwickelt er immer mehr unerwartete blinkend swingende Fragmente von Funk, die sich im Harmoniewechsel dann noch zu einer großen Hymne aufplustern und einfach alles wegblasen.

Magische Nummer. Immer wieder. The Messenger und Jason Roc sind in ihrer Art immer ein klein wenig zu kitschig.
Bleed (De:Bug)

Craig Stewart is known for going on a pursuit with Johnny Montana in perfecting moonlight-inspired deep and soulful house music as heard in their productions and remixes like "Lunar Eyes", "Million to One", and "State of Mind". Make Me EP— Stewart's latest release on Acryl Music is quite different— it is minus Johnny Montana and the soulful vibe, but a plus to the technical and groovy sound of the deep! To celebrate this release, Alex V, Office Gossip, and Acryl Music head honcho, Da Funk also contribute their respective remixes to the package.

We  wanted to say Thank You for all the love and support this past year and wanted to wish you and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

It's been around two years since Acryl Music label owner, Da Funk released material on his label. As he breaks the spell, he sends out his latest craft, "Gloomy Scene" fresh from the deep with remixes courtesy of Pablo Fierro, Addex, and GarcyNoise!

Ibiza 2010: Der bericht zur detaillierten nachlese, jetzt auf dem "Klang Der Nacht" blog!

Ibiza bietet wunderschöne Landschaften, ein azurblaues Meer und traumhafte Strände. Ibiza bietet aber auch eine Feierszene die alle anderen Destinationen in den Schatten stellt. Berlin mal ausgenommen, vielleicht.

Zumindest ist der Vibe auf der Insel beim Feiern einiges lockerer als an allen anderen Feierdestinationen. Was wir alles erlebt haben gibt's detailliert nachzulesen auf
"Klang Der Nacht", dem blog!

Lesen strengstens empfohlen!

Ocean Gaya-Think Global EP | Acryl Music | ACRM033
Another new label to the untitledmusic supporters club and what an intro! Pulsating deepness with a rich sound kicks us off with Think Global - a tune right up my street, zany chords and melodic drifts. It wraps you up in the sound. And it goes from strength to strength, dropping in some techier edges and plenty more dreamy drifts and melodic builds.
