"Forever Jan" packs 25 (!) years into the most comprehensive compilation possible - and, despite all the stylistic diversity, makes the common thread of this extraordinary career recognizable in every respect. Jan Delay himself has become an icon of German pop: He has shaped how music sounds in this country, and he has inspired entire generations to listen to their raveheart and consistently do their thing.

But above all, he has always remained a fan. Anyone who has shared a dancefloor with Jan at five o'clock in the morning or discussed the latest Soundso record with him, indeed anyone who has experienced him on stage even once, knows what music means to him, how it drives him, how it defines his work. The beats, the bass, the whole boom, that's his element. And he has always transferred this passion very directly into his own projects. Anyone who hears "Forever Jan" knows that this fire will burn forever.

"Forever Jan" comes with 2 new tracks, classics, rarities and floor fillers.

“Einsteigen Bitte!”

After more than six years of collaboration between label and artist, Feines Tier and Luca Musto bring to you the highly anticipated first full length LP “Nice Place, Bad Intentions”.

Musto’s first LP “Nice Place Bad Intentions” departs from the conventional 4/4 time signature. Instead, the album’s structure and the tracks themselves are reminiscent of a 1990s/2000s Hip Hop long play release. This becomes evident in the fact that the LP not only features 17 tracks, including skits and interludes, but also that they make up the framework of a conceptual album. Here, listeners will be encouraged to follow the track list and listen to “Nice Place, Bad Intentions” in one go.

“Nice Place, Bad Intentions” was produced over a period of 1,5 years. Besides the majority being original samples and vocals from Luca Musto, the LP also features a number of studio musicians, including bass players, trumpeters and guitarists. Cologne-based guitarist Simon Bahr can be found on several tracks, including the three singles “Infiltrate”, “Boogie Angst” and “Real Name, No Gimmicks”. Moreover, the skits and interludes are spoken by professional voice actors from the US and Canada.

The Berlin-themed album follows the characters Mick and Richie, who are all about partying and come to the city for one weekend in hopes to have the time of their lives. When the characters’ expectations meet reality, their naiveté (or bad intentions) lead them to getting screwed, robbed and even arrested. These stories about their journey through Germany’s capital are found in the interludes and skits. Listeners can follow them passing infamous places and metro stations in the city based on sampled BVG announcements, which gives the album a radio play vibe.

Sound-wise, Luca Musto’s unique sounds include scratched hooks that meet original lyrics and melodies, resulting in distinctive genre-bending tunes. As Mick and Richie stumble through some of Berlin’s most in-famous places, their expectations repeatedly clash with the reality of the capital’s nightlife. Similarly the liste-ners’ expectations are twisted and turned. Yet, the soundtrack underlining the characters’ journey never disappoints and brings its listeners on a rhythmic trip of old and new sounds. From rapping on downtempo as in “City of Grind” to merging the classic structure of electronic music with funky guitar licks and unconventional chord transitions as in “Infiltrate”, the LP feels at once like a daring experiment and like the beginning of a developing new genre.

“Forever Jan” packt 25 Jahre in die derbstmögliche Compilation – und macht, bei aller stilistischen Diversität, dabei vor allem den roten Faden dieser in jeder Hinsicht außergewöhnlichen Karriere erkennbar. Jan Delay ist selbst zu einer Ikone des deutschen Pop geworden: Er hat geprägt, wie Musik in diesem Land klingt, und er hat ganze Generationen dazu inspiriert, auf ihr Raveheart zu hören und konsequent ihr Ding zu machen.

Vor allem aber ist er immer Fan geblieben. Wer einmal morgens um fünf Uhr einen Dancefloor mit Jan geteilt oder mit ihm über die letzte Platte von Soundso diskutiert hat, ja wer ihn auch nur einmal auf der Bühne erlebt hat, weiß, was ihm Musik bedeutet, wie sie ihn antreibt, wie sie sein Wirken definiert. Die Beats, der Bass, der ganze Bumms, das ist sein Element. Und er hat diese Leidenschaft stets sehr direkt in seine eigenen Projekte überführt. Wer “Forever Jan” hört, weiß: Dieses Feuer wird für immer brennen.

"Forever Jan" kommt inkl. 2 neuen Tracks, Klassikern und Floorfillern.

The two Berlin-based labels combine forces to create a supreme independent Hip Hop release. A mere dozen of artists, utilizing two different languages, to simply provide you one thing: Good music. While Spoken View holds a good share of top notch German Rap artists, Project: Mooncircle delivers the wide diversity of its intercontinental network of musicians. The likes of Netherland’s newcomer Joe Kickass , British dynamic duo Obba Supa, German avant-garde lyricists Sichtbeton , UK-Rap legend Lewis Parker , rhyme-roughnecks Morlockk Dilemma and Hiob , go-to-guy Damion Davis, John Robinson from former Fondl’em fame – all unite in the strong believe in the culture of Hip Hop. Following the labels’ ideals, you’ll get a cinematic artwork on top of that, collectively composed by Gordon , V.Raeter and The Binh .

Visionär, revolutionär, legendär zu keinem anderen Mcee in Deutschland passen diese Attribute besser als zu Kool Savas. Ob ausverkaufte Tourneen, Gold- und Platinauszeichnung oder drei Nummer-1-Alben in Folge: Das sind nur einige Höhepunkte dieser einzigartigen Karriere. Die Vorhersage ist eingetroffen Savas hat Battlerap in Deutschland zum Leben erweckt. Doch sein Weg ist noch lange nicht zu Ende.
Mit Essahdamus wird nun die nächste Prophezeiung wahr. Auf 18 Tracks, angereichert durch Skits, Acapellas, Beatskizzen und anderen Überraschungen, liefert Deutschlands Eins abermals ein Mixtape ab, dessen Qualität ein bis dato unerreichtes Level erreicht. Wer die John Bello-Reihe mochte, wird das kommende Werk lieben. Keine Lückenfüller, keine Kompromisse dafür Vollgas in bester Essah-Manier. Kurz gesagt: Kein Zuckerschlecken für den Rest von Hiphop-Deutschland. Emo-Rapper werden ihr Leben nach Essahdamus noch mehr hassen, Hater bekommen Depressionen und Biter neues Futter. Denn damals wie heute gilt: In Sachen Flow, Stimme, Technik ist Kool Savas seiner Zeit voraus. Essahdamus beweist diese Dominanz in beeindruckender Form. Kein Imagekram, kein Pathosgehabe Fans dürfen sich auf reinsten Rap in Perfektion freuen.
Dem Rap-Orakel Savas steht dabei die Crème de la Crème der deutschen Raplandschaft zur Seite. Ob Pioniere wie Azad und Samy Deluxe oder Berliner Legenden wie Sido auf Essahdamus gibt sich ausschließlich die Elite die Ehre. Doch Savas wäre nicht Savas hätte er nicht ein ganz besonderes Dankeschön für seine langjährigen Fans in Petto. Eine kleine Zeitreise in die Vergangenheit steht auf dem Programm und vereint erstmalig wieder die gesamte legendäre Berliner Crew M.O.R. auf einem Song. Essahdamus steht für Geschichte.
Für den passenden Sound sorgen unter anderem DJ Smoove und Abaz. Doch auch Mr. Melodie selbst sitzt wieder hinter den Reglern, um der musikalischen Eingebung den nötigen Feinschliff zu verpassen.
