First cuddle with your chérie - then do whatever it is you cannot abstain from.
That’s the idea of the “The Cuddle and Cum (split) EP”. The first track “Liebling Password Kuscheln” (Sweetheart, Password Cuddle) is all about grooving smoothly with your sweetheart. Whether it be publicly - i.e. in Café Liebling, Berlin, Prenzlauer Berg - or in private (password required).
The second track is all about what’s happened after your password was accepted and you are logged “in”. But listen to the cheesy vocals yourself. Both tracks’ lyrics share a similar sense for the irony of it all. Whatever that “all” may be (relationships, rituals, sex - you name it). The ‘Cuddle And Come’ EP (GO GO G 3) tracklist:
1. Hagen B. & Zuckermann feat. Très charmante Magali ‘Liebling Password Kuscheln’
Hagen B. & Zuckermann
Hagen B. started his career in Tresor club, the old one - of course. He soon became resident of that institution but was rather attracted to the (housy) “Globus” floor at ground level than the techno torture chamber downstairs. Now he’s back in the studio after a long break and shares his passion for cool, hot House grooves with Zuckermann, Stalking Go Go Girls’ CEO/CFO/CCO/CSO (Chief Sex… okokok) and whatever you want to.
The latter also used to be Maria am Ostbahnhof Berlin resident plus resident of the incredible “Cinetrip” parties in good ol’ Budapest (mostly in the Rudazs bath, and if we say bath - it was IN the bath and a watery orgy). He played in France and Japan too and had a number of releases on rather breaks oriented labels using obscure pseudos that he thought were cool back then. Now he’s back again too and working with Hagen on the always exciting “new” idea of House: classic sounds mixed with some contemporary ideas, kling-klangs and sexy whims to produce an altogether fresh House sound. And so the redefinition of House continues…
Lousy Lovers is a project of 2 audio stars from Berlin, one of which is above mentioned Zuckermann, the other one now based in Marseille, Southern France. After they had debated the advantages of Berlin Coolness vs. French Hardcore long enough, they decided to clash these influences instead and create “eine elektronische-erotische Tanzkapelle”.
Lousy Lovers was born, transforming both the Southern way of making love - too fierce, too short - and the Northern one - too uptight, too short too - into something of an entirely different quality. Whether you’ll like that might depend on the girl(s) of course.
Their clash “très particulier” of influences merges into a unique House sound, which combines Minimal with fever and heat with not taking oneself too seriously, cheers.
Ok, after “Spin Doctor” Zuckermann got carried away in the fine world of “da(ft)” fine arts lately, my other self is back now with “something complety different” (stop!-laughing-Mr.-Cleese!).
1. The Trouble With Harry ‘Woow… Hoouse…!’ (GO GO G 2) Tracklist:
The Trouble With Harry
is a collaboration of Harry Seldom (Organic Domain) and Zuckermann (Stalking Go Go Girls). Their collaboration is about re-defining classical House patterns thus making them fit for those reeeeally outspaced moments of today’s disco nights. No matter whether these are Berlin afterhours, Barcelona beach parties, or Beijing glitz nights. It’s the state of mind that counts….
Harry Seldom was born as Hari Seldon in the 11.988th year of the Galactic Era. He decided to flee from the boredom of the future - namely Asimov’s Foundation “sagas”. Once arrived, he turned his journey into the track “Don’t Look Back”. It instantly became the hit caché of Tigerskins “Organic Domain” label, selling hundreds of copies even without a “Galactic DJ Magazine” review. Shame on you, ignorant (future) markets (oops, my stocks rumble in the background). So, NOW it’s your time.
Zuckermann is the master caster of Stalking Go Go Girls. He likes to post - and its writes. Read some of his musings or muse some of his readings in our blog section. Apart from his literay career here on Stalking Go Go Girls, he produces music for those states of mind referred to above - thaaat kind of hypnotic House that let’s you forget where your house is. The same ‘Black Holing’ applies to his DJ sets after which sometimes only the Goddess of DJs can mercifully make him find his own house.
‘Bergmann zu Fuss’ is a Berlin DJ and producer double that is about essence. Their “essance-to-dance”-formula: shake, stir, and distill the hottest classical House ingredients, then mix with a veeeery selected choice of todays sounds until a total concentrate is reached. Result: your fuss (=feet) will be moved and your mind will follow…
‘Traumzucker’, also known as former Tresor resident ‘Hagen B’ and ‘Bergmann’ has a rather emotional approach to club music. As ‘Traumzucker’ he is interested in technically inspired poetry and a dreamy distance to “normal” melodic expression, deconstructing it sweetly and neatly. Niiiice.
More Zucker (Zuckermann and Traumzucker) on Stalking Go Go Girls soon.
Nice idea - rather DADA than agitprop (=agitation and propaganda), or is it agitPOP? Whatever, would be cool, if only the message was less political (”message” itself is soo 68…). As some Davos guys are not getting tired to say: the result counts - in that sense: te absolvo.
“Thanks for the hint (about the site). Unfortunately their are no girls at all to be found on the site”.
Comment by Emir on http://audioblogging.wordpress.com.
Our retaliation:
“we are working on the girls;-)
For now you’ll find a number of thrilling articles about music and club culture instead. Plus some up-and-coming releases soon.
check it! (so much about house advertising:).”
Uh, Emir, what we forgot to mention: girls you’ll find a lot on the web - just gooooogle, man ;-))
So that’s it - finally you start your own label website - and then your studio is kinda burnin’ down (sort of at least, mainboard crash) - and all you have to do for a month is checking for and finally buying a new computer. That doesn’t sound too time consuming, but if you do change your operating system in the process (to Mac), then start wondering, whether you actually should use all your windows music software on a bootcamp partition or not, also begin to question your old, not too ergonomic studio set up, and then finally realise it gotta all be brand new and shiny - then it might take some time…
So yes, here we are again, not completely set up yet, but at least be able to work. And all brand new and shiny it is, with an additional big flatscreen monitor, the NI Kore 2 Controller (great thing, but man, complicated - and the manual doesn’t really help…), the new cubase 4.1 for mac etc… So from now on, you’ll hear from us on a regular basis. The second release is postponed to the first week of January, so to greet the new year with some fresh sounds.
First cuddle with your chérie - then do whatever it is you cannot abstain from.
