News from the Front

Been a while since I added some news in here. Not much to tell, but here's a compilation I recently digged. If you've ever been able to visit Hamburgs notorious (gay) club Front, you should spend some €€€ here. Amazingly compiled Mix CD (seperate tracks on two vinyl editions) by Klaus Stockhausen and Boris Dlugosch. I haven't bought a Club CD for a while since I own or know most of the tracks. But here's some real gems from a bunch of artists I haven't heard of yet or almost forgot about, reminding me of the Horse Meat Disco series, but more housey. Some pure Disco/House pleasure reminding me of times, when people just danced crazy and not hopping from one foot to another, facing the DJ for a whole night. Plus touching liner notes and really intimate photo coverage. My legacy compilation of the year.

The Wanderer is Gone

Very sad news came in yesterday. According to a Facebook post from his sister Mellony Moore, Anthony Moore aka Romanthony has passed away. He was one of my all-time House heroes and underrated musical genius. Best known for his appearance in Daft Punk's "One More Time", Romanthony released funky, fantastic songs, often compared to Prince and a tight, deep production. He was the first one to remember who recorded highly compressed tracks. Romanthony is surely a big loss. Here's my all time fave from him, remixed by the Murk boys.
