my friends i'm back from the cap with tons of photos, thoughts and influences. i have recommendations to make: two lately released and must have treasures. the "jazz liberatorz - clin d'oeil" and "dday one - heavy migration" album

"JAZZ LIBERATORZ"
is a paris based trio founded in 1999 (dj damage, dusty and madhi), releasing on kif records, which is well know for artists like birdy nam nam, pepe bradock, ... jazz liberatorz are producing mad funky, jazzy hip hop featuring the dopes mcs (apani b, sadat x, j-live, raashan ahmad of cown city rockers, buckshot, tableek, fatlip, ...) their premier full length album "clin d'oeil" just hit the recordstores worldwide and
is available as a 6x12" box with the album as cd and a shirt (limited to 500 pieces). you love hip hop, you gonna love this! and there is another guy i wanted to tell you about:

"DDAY ONE"
who was definitely one of my most favourite producers since heard his first album "loop extensions" he released on a limited vinyl edition in 2006. after someappearences on several compilations (especially on project mooncircle), the new double LP "heavy migration" is out, comin up with deep bass, kickin drums and very beautiful melancholic guidelines.
in general - and beside of the fact, that his music is a "stand alone" because it has something in it i didn't hear before and that i cant explain but feel - it reminds me of the golden years of trip hop with dj krush's album "meiso" or dj shadow's "entroducing" a little bit. the name of his official website and the statement on its first page say it all: www.samplist.com i love it. my current album favourite: "at the village gate".

check both artists other releases if you like what you hear. they're all dope!
dday one - heavy mirgration (available on 2LP, content label)
jazz liberatorz - clin d'oeil (available on CD or in limited box with 6x12", kif records)

Build by sound artist Recompas, the VoS Sequencere is a 10 step analog sequencer, which basically steps through 10 different voltage levels that are set by the black knobs. The output control voltage and trigger signals are typically used to control pitch, filters, drum triggers and an endless number of other parameters on other synths.

The Voice of Saturn Sequencer can be bought either as a fully assembled unit or as a DIY-kit.

First up: Ed O.G.: i got to have it...

after some difficulties on tuesday i have the remaining parts of my brain stitched together again. in the name of all, i allow myself to say thank you to all the people that were showing up and made it the nice-atmosphere, positive-vibe-party we enjoyed together! i'm sorry i lost orientation at some point but anyhow, i was ending up in bed after a little nap outside (but at least i smiled, mognes said)

a big thank you and shout out to julia from susihaus for making this short-termed crazyness possible, bearing us and keeping all the things we have lost until i picked it up the next day. the coca-cola you gave me "saved" my (tues)day eve by the way.

for all the people that missed that one! it was not the last one!

Update: check the picture gallery

All drama comes to an end! After years of work on the new site, we finally made it.

Here it is: The new www.rotaug.com

Filled with loads of projects collected over the last year we're proud to present the first major release of rotaug.com. Believe me it was not easy to find a way to produce a website fitting the needs of artists of so many different genres, but somehow we figured it out.

Enjoy!!!
