"I mostly make music to chill to, which is mainly sample based, but i do love my old synths too, so expect a fair amount of analogue sounds along with bits n bobs stolen from charity shop gems. Trying to concentrate on making a whole instrumental album, although I do have a fair few beats that just need some rhymes, so anyone who's up for that should message me."

that's the text written on 4teenth myspace website. the EP is a very nice 10track "album" that you can listen through from the beginning to the end without thinking  "lets forward that track" once. this shall be a recommendation for all you out there that do like smooth hip hop instrumentals with classical piano samples, "david axelrod" strings or/and little dubstep or funky breakbeat influence. the style of some tracks reminds me of the first vinyl i ever bought: "the 45 king -  grooves for a quiet storm" ...

[and if you like "this and that", also check the web for szenario beats again. i already wrote a post on him and his strictly instrumental debut release "sidestreets" two years ago and he just released his new album "schlichtes gold" with manuva from total chaos.]

... anyway: 4teenth's CD comes with a nice handnumbered and signed small slice of paper that says "there might never be an album" in the back. hopefully not! i loved to have more of that and especially on vinyl. support poverty records!

"4teenth - there might never be an album"
published by poverty records late 2007

Brian de Palma (Scarface, Carlitos way, ...) made a new movie. It´s called "redacted" and it is the most provocativ anti-war propaganda out there so far.

A fictional documentary that shows nothing but the true face of war nowadays. De Palma has said that essentially everything he has put into "Redacted" can be found on the Internet: The director trawled the Web, examining pictures, videos and journal entries made by soldiers, looking at Islamic fundamentalist web sites and, perhaps most significantly, locating numerous photographs of Iraq war victims that would never show up in the mainstream press.

The film won the silver lion at the 2007 Biennale. Despite international honors the film caused a wave of protests in the us, where conservatis push for a ban of the movie.

Damn, this is some shock article i just stumbled across on the FM4 website:

Goodbye, Soulseduction

Die Nachricht über die Insolvenz des Wiener Vertriebs Soulseduction hat wie eine Bombe eingeschlagen: Der ohnehin kleine österreichische Musikmarkt verliert einen weiteren Player.

Die Soulseduction war unter anderem dafür zuständig, Platten von Labels wie G-Stone oder Klein Records international zu vertreiben. Umgekehrt haben sie dafür gesorgt, dass die Tonträger von Ninja Tune, BBE Music, uvm. bei uns in den Plattenläden erhältlich waren.

Diese Ära geht nun zu Ende.
