PRESSETEXT
Die Release “The Vienna Tapes â limited edition” versammelt 13 ausgewĂ€hlte [dunkelbunt]-Tracks aus den Jahren 2015-2019. Es ist das Album eines mentalen und musikalischen Aufbruchs in den nahen und den zunehmend fernen Osten: Die Reise geht dabei vom Balkan uÌber den Maghreb und Kenia in den arabischen Nahen Osten und dann nach Indien.
Die “Vienna Tapes” entstanden im [dunkelbunt]-Studio im zweiten Wiener Gemeindebezirk und schöpfen wesentlich aus dem Pool internationaler MusikerInnen der Stadt: Alix Oder Nix , der Berliner MC als textlicher und performativer Prachtkerl; die suÌdindische SĂ€ngerin Anuradha Genrich sowie die Jazz-Singer/Songwriterinnen Lisa Cantabile und Mela Marie Spaemann; der Rapper Cloud Tissa aus Kenia und der marokkanische RaĂŻ-SĂ€nger Kadero Rai; schlieĂlich die aus Rajasthan stammenden BruÌder Haider und Pintoo Khan als fulminante SĂ€nger und Perkussionisten ⊠–
Es zieht mich immer stĂ€rker in den Wirbel dieser Musikwelten und Welt-Musiken hinein und ich werfe mit der Album-Release von âVienna Tapesâ den ersten Stein in einen rasanten Fluss, den ich insgesamt als âExodus Complexâ bezeichne.
Das Besondere: “The Vienna Tapes â limited edition” erscheint im Retro-Format als limitierte Audio-Kassette mit Liner-Notes und Signatur – und natĂŒrlich auf allen ĂŒblichen Plattformen digital!
Die Bonus-Tracks “Hiroshima Mon Amour” und “Modus Operandi” verweisen bereits auf die kommende Release, die “Asia Files”, die im Februar 2020 als 7”/Vinyl erscheinen.

The release “The Vienna Tapes (limited edition)” brings together thirteen selected [dunkelbunt] recordings of the years 2015-2019.

The EP “Vienna Tapes” brings together eight selected [dunkelbunt] tracks and their instrumental versions from the years 2015-2019. It is the album of my mental and musical awakening in the realms of the Near â and increasingly â Far East: The journey takes off from the Balkans (Wish) to the Maghreb (Viens Avec Moi, L’Amour fidĂšle) and Kenya (Mia Kwa Mia) to the Arab Middle East (Space Walker) and then ultimately to India (Le Ta Jaoji, Velavan).
I am drawn ever more into the vortex of these musical worlds, and with the album release of âVienna Tapesâ I cast the first stone into a raging stream, which I am calling the “Exodus Complex”.
Alix Oder Nix’s “Weit Weg” (Far Away) is the slogan and the motif of my new production, which got a kick-start with “Wish” during the refugee crisis of 2015/16. Apart from a conducive partnership with the American West Coast musician Will Magid (Balkan Bump), the “Vienna Tapes” draw substantially from the pool of international and globally active musicians in Vienna: Alix Oder Nix, the Berlin MC, a lyrical and performative matador; South Indian singer Anuradha Genrich and jazz singer / songwriters Lisa Cantabile and Mela Marie Spaemann; the rapper Cloud Tissa from Kenya and the Moroccan RaĂŻ singer Kadero Rai; finally the Rajasthan-born brothers Haider and Pintoo Khan as brilliant singers and percussionists … â

Pressetext
Fernweh heiĂt jetzt “Weit Weg“!
[dunkelbunt] und Alix liefern die Sehnsuchtsmelodie fĂŒr diesen Sommer.
Rap trifft Konnakol, den sĂŒdindischen Scat-Gesang (die sĂŒdindische Mouth Percussion) und katapultiert uns in den weiten, atmosphĂ€rischen Hallraum unserer TrĂ€ume.
Tablas, Sitar und Indian Flutes schillern als Farben ĂŒber einen relaxten Beat mit markanten Bass-Akzenten: Ăberlass’ dich dem Flow, geh’ mit [dunkelbunt] und Alix “weit, weit weg“!
âââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââ-
Alix (Alexander Leuschner), original Neuköllner und seit 2010 in Wien: Rapper, Vocalist und Songwriter. Haider Khan, geboren und aufgewachsen in Rajasthan, lebt seit 2012 in Wien, wo er als Multi-Percussionist und SÀnger im Bereich Jazz & Fusion mit verschiedenen Formationen arbeitet.

Akkorde im Mund – ein Picknick mit [dunkelbunt], abgerundet mit den Weinen des sĂŒdsteirischen Winzers Simon Engel.
Local support von MELA, deren Stimme auch auf [dunkelbunt]’s neuen Album zu hören ist (The River/N.D.W.). Sie prĂ€sentiert an diesem Abend ihr kĂŒrzlich auf Vinyl erschienenes Album âThe Moony Sessionâ.

Seit ĂŒber zehn Jahren steht ULF LINDEMANN alias [dunkelbunt] zusammen mit Genre-Kollegen wie WALDECK, PAROV STELAR oder SHANTEL als Pionier fĂŒr die elegante Fusion von osteuropĂ€ischen Sounds mit modernen Beats im Electro-Swing Gewand. Der weit gereiste Musiker bringt in seinen Tracks eine enorme Vielfalt an musikalischen EinflĂŒssen unter, vom Hip Hop, Electro und Jazz kommend, erschafft er wohlig warme Sounds, einen wahren Klangfarbenzauber auf geschmackvoll satt groovenden Beats.
Nach seinen Alben âMorgenlandfahrtâ (2007) und âPicnic with [dunkelbunt]â (2012) sowie den beiden erfolgreichen âSun Dubâ-Compilations meldet sich [dunkelbunt] mit âMountain Jumperâ endlich zurĂŒck. Beeinflusst durch seine bisher sieben Nordamerika-Touren rĂŒcken jetzt neue Flavours in den gewohnt stilsicheren Klangkosmos ein: Bluegrass, Hillbilly und Country, die Sounds der Siedler im âWilden Westenâ zur GrĂŒnderzeit der USA hinterlassen Spuren auf den Clubsounds- und Beats. Dabei kommen Field Recordings oder Instrumente wie Slide Guitar, Geige und Banjo, aber auch Pipa und Erhu (chinesische Laute und Geige) sowie griechischer Bouzouki zum Einsatz.
Die 13 stimmungsvollen Tracks enthalten aber auch gewohnte Elemente wie deutschsprachige Raps und das stets durchschimmernde Electro-Swing-Fundament. âMountain Jumperâ ist eine behutsame Erweiterung des [dunkelbunt]-Universums in neue Richtungen, mit allen VorzĂŒgen, fĂŒr die man den individualistischen SoundtĂŒftler zu recht so schĂ€tzt.
“Es ist nicht einfach, Dunkelbunts Musik in eine Schublade zu legen. Er öffnet immer wieder eine neue -und das Track fĂŒr Track.” TheGap -> INTERVIEW

âââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââ
In ihrem Singer/ Songwriter Projekt âMelaâ greift Marie Spaemann in die Soulkiste, zeigt ihre Liebe zum Jazz, lĂ€sst sich von Popbrisen treiben und von ihrem ursprĂŒnglich klassischen Backround inspirieren.
Mit ihrer ersten EP, âThe Moony Sessionsâ, taucht die Cellistin in bannende Klangwelten ein und verfĂŒhrt zum TrĂ€umen.
Live, als One Woman Band, nutzt Mela ihr Instrument mit Hilfe einer Loop Station in all seiner Vielseitigkeit. Die Konzertcellistin hier zurĂŒcknehmend, lĂ€sst sie facettenreich Begleitungen entstehen, die den Boden fĂŒr ihren soulig verspielten Gesang ebnen.

Erwin & Edwin‘s Vision ist es, Elektronische Beats und Blasmusik verschiedenster Art zu vereinen, um damit das Publikum zum Tanzen und Toben zu bringen. Auf der BĂŒhne prĂ€sentieren sie sich mit Trompete, Gitarre, Schlagzeug, Turntables und einer Motivation, die garantiert kein Haar trocken lĂ€sst!
Mit bassgeladenen Edits und Remixes wurde die musikalische Laufbahn von Erwin & Edwin begonnen und bald mit eigens produzierten Tracks fortgesetzt.

New Album: Mountain Jumper
Mountain Jumper [dunkelbunt records] 2015
Release Sate: 08th of March 2015 / (Austria 30th of January)
Format: CD/VINYL/DIGITAL
Label: [dunkelbunt records]
Distribution: Believe Digital / Broken Silence
Features: ALIX, ANDUZE, MELA, CLOUD TISSA, ROBB
FILE UNDER: POP, WORLD, JAZZ, BLUES, ELECTRONICA, BLUEGRASS, HIP HOP, E-SWING, BALKAN
[dunkelbunt] paints his new album “Mountain Jumper” as a sound collage of the American continent when it was first founded. He mixes the diverse sounds of various local cultures with electro and modern club sounds, Bluegrass In Dub, Hilly Billy Breaks, FiddleÂŽnÂŽBass, which means not for the first time [dunkelbunt] has to come up with fresh names for new genres. Over the last decade [dunkelbunt] has toured the world as one of the pioneers of Electro and Balkan Beatz, including seven tours through North America and his new album is a reflection of these travels.
“Electronic music is the foundation which the sounds of the world sit upon. I’m inspired by the fact that so many people with different backgrounds all came together on one continent in such a short period of time. It’s an amazing musical melting pot, the land of unlimited musical possibilities.”
So in any one song the instruments of a european settler in a covered wagon heading to the west coast can be heard along with the chinese workers of the transcontinental railroad. The pipa and the ehru (the chinese lute and violin) blends with a greek bouzouki, slide guitar and banjo with oriental strings.
“I’m facinated with creating a relationship between sounds that no one has ever heard.”
New Track: [dunkelbunt] ft. Alix: “Egal”
â iTunes | bandcamp | Amazon | free download
The single “EGAL” is the precursor to the new [dunkelbunt] album “Mountain Jumper” which will be released in spring 2015 on [dunkelbunt records].
With this release [dunkelbunt] & Alix demonstrate their boundless ingenuity, when it comes to making transcontinental music: “EGAL” mixes Hip Hop with Bluegrass, German rap meets New Orleans Marching Brass and the sounds of the Mississippi Delta sail on the Aegean Sea.
On the mic is Alexander Leuschner aka Alix. Born in 1988 and a native of Berlin’s Neukölln suburb, he’s been rapping using various vocal styles from a young age. Rhythmically refined he he bounces on the verses, thoughtfully and humorously talking about life and his visions. Together with [dunkelbunt] he shares his adopted home of Vienna and a passion for merging different musical styles.
Ulf Lindemann aka [dunkelbunt] was born in Hamburg in 1979. At the beginning of the millennium in his Vienna studio, he began to merge electronic music with Balkan, Gypsy and Swing sounds and along with his contemporaries like Waldeck, Parov Stelar and Shantel who helped popularize the new music genres, âElectro Swingâ and âBalkan Beatsâ.

âThere’s one thing that we will never do together, and that’s make music!â â âI can still hear myself saying that to Alix. That was about a year ago when we met up for the first time at the Wiener Augartenâ, explains Mr. [dunkelbunt] telling the story of how his latest collaboration with the singer ALIX was born.
Last summer, Alexander Leuschner, born in Berlin, applied to [dunkelbunt] for an internship and although it had been made clear in the job description that the position did not incorporate making music but focused on the ins and outs of how a label operates he still sent in one of his songs along with a wonderfully brash application letter.
âWhen I listened to it I immediately felt like I’d met my musical soul mate and that was the reason I had to ring him to arrange that meeting at Augarten. Then after a few days of checking each other out we decided to make music together.â âEs ist egal, wo Du herkommst und auch egal wohin Du gehst, solangâ Du nur dem Weg Deines Herzens folgst und dafĂŒr gerade stehst….â (âIt doesn’t matter where you come from or where you’re going as long as you follow your heart and stand with pride…â) that was the first of his contributions that burrowed it’s way into my head, a chorus that Alix wrote over the [dunkelbunt] Riddim Schlawiener, more or less as an acid test.

Ulf Lindemann aka [dunkelbunt] was born in Hamburg in 1979 and came to Austria at the beginning of the millennium to study and make music. In 2002 in his Vienna studio he began to merge electronic music with Balkan, Gypsy and Swing sounds and along with his contemporaries like Waldeck, Parov Stelar and Shantel who helped popularize the new music genres Electro Swing and Balkan Beats.
Together with every EP or LP released, [dunkelbunt] creates a special spice blend which is included with the CD or album and at concerts the air is filled with his special fragrances. With a cinnamon wand or with aromatic oil massaging the senses of his audience they are taken on a fantastic trip to the orient or through tropical forests and fields of flowers or to his second home in the Spanish Orange blossom valleys.

âThere’s one thing that we will never do together, and that’s make music!â â âI can still hear myself saying that to Alix. That was about a year ago when we met up for the first time at the Wiener Augartenâ, explains Mr. [dunkelbunt] telling the story of how his latest collaboration with the singer ALIX was born.
Last summer, Alexander Leuschner, born in Berlin, applied to [dunkelbunt] for an internship and although it had been made clear in the job description that the position did not incorporate making music but focused on the ins and outs of how a label operates he still sent in one of his songs along with a wonderfully brash application letter.
âWhen I listened to it I immediately felt like I’d met my musical soul mate and that was the reason I had to ring him to arrange that meeting at Augarten. Then after a few days of checking each other out we decided to make music together.â âEs ist egal, wo Du herkommst und auch egal wohin Du gehst, solangâ Du nur dem Weg Deines Herzens folgst und dafĂŒr gerade stehst….â (âIt doesn’t matter where you come from or where you’re going as long as you follow your heart and stand with pride…â) that was the first of his contributions that burrowed it’s way into my head, a chorus that Alix wrote over the [dunkelbunt] Riddim Schlawiener, more or less as an acid test. A few weeks later he was standing with us on stage at the âNational Tennis Center Bratislava and now I couldn’t imagine [dunkelbunt] & Secret Swing Society without him.â

âSchlawienerâ is a cheeky play on words in German, translating roughly as a âsmooth operator/dodger living in Viennaâ. Someone you almost automatically turn into when moving from a hanseatic city (Hamburg in this case) to the foothills of the Balkans (and stay there for more than a decade).
On this fresh-from-the-oven release, Mr. Dunkelbunt takes the mic himself, rapping about Vienna the way he sees it… and his life as a traveller & jetlag junkie. As far as the music goes, the artist calls it “HipHop-rattle-electro-swing mixed in with funky-sirtaki-dubstep on a eastern tipâ. Just in case you wondered.
Ulf Lindemann aka [dunkelbunt] has been labelled “a wizzard of tone coloursâ and “specialist for exquisite music- & spice blendsâ. Only just a few years ago, his highly acclaimed longplayer “Morgenlandfahrtâ got him global prestige as a pioneer producer of all things electro swing/Balkan beats. Since 2011, [dunkelbunt] also tours the planet as a brilliant live act, joined by the Secret Swing Society for that occasion.
Lindemann lives & works in the lovely city of Vienna as a freelance artist since 2001… which of course makes him a true “Schlawienerâ!
âWir Schlawiener sind Trommelfelldoktoren,
spezialisiert aufs Wohl von Seele, Geist und Ohren.
Doktor dunkelbunt verschreibt Ohrgasmen im Vierviertel-Takt,
macht schon mal die Ohren nackt…â (Schlawiener)
