Vienna 2009; Whizz Vienna, an Austrian musician is nominated for the Amadeus Austrian Music Award in the category 'Album of the year'. Why and how that happened, he is still not sure of to this day. By now, the album in question 'Versager ohne Zukunft', which is produced in collaboration with Kamp, has turned into a classic. Even though he has released several projects since then, such as the renowned 'Wiener Staub' Beat-LP, it has become quiet around the producer. His studio existence and his musical creation more or less turned into dust. Darmstadt 2020; during a thorough tidying up of old hard drives a folder labeled 'Whizz Vienna Beatz' experiences a musical renaissance. The dopeness of the material is undeniable to this day and that kind of freshness cannot be just left in the digital wasteland ready to rot. The search for the missing Whizz Vienna was more challenging than expected due to the fact that he enjoyed his own presence to be buried in the underground. In the end, the hidden asset has been unvcovered, plans have been cultivated and now after a two year waiting time the final product is ready to be launched. 13 long-lost instrumentals, Kamp and Prinz Pi spitting on 2 of them, cuts by DJ Vektor, 1 love for Eva.

No tattoos - scars and breaks tell the story!

Torky and doZ9: No one who has even briefly dipped their toe into the warm, soupy pool of the German rap underground needs to be told what top level prevails here.

One of them is rightly affectionately called "The Coach" by the entire German-language stylistic Olympus in Amsterdam, while the other has been shaping the same from five homes for over a decade with his smug crypticism.

Nine" is the ninth release by the duo and follows in the footsteps of the past. Between binge drinking in Templin, breaking bones, friendships and family, to smoky couch sessions and trapeze capades in the hallowed halls of alleycatboy. Straightforward, unusually approachable and at times completely hilarious, the record delivers trippy hinterland blues for those who have stomped free of the pep-pulling ghosts of the past.

Let's sit back, watch the flies screwing and sing together the old song that no one likes to sing along to.

"Can't go no more, can't go no more, can't go no more".

"Neun" will be released on 08.12.2023 via Sichtexot Records on vinyl LP + bonus track "Durch uns durch" feat. Sonne Ra and Wandl

“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.

37 Tracks vom King of Rap der 00er Jahre.

Er ist On Top . Die Rede ist von Kool Savas, der mit seinem letzten Soloalbum Tot oder lebendig nicht nur einen Klassiker geschaffen, sondern auch seine Relevanz in der Szene einmal mehr bestätigt hat: Von 0 auf Platz 10 in den Albumcharts und zwei ausverkaufte Touren inklusive Live-DVD (Platz 4 der DVD-Charts) sprechen Bände und zeigen, wer Deutschlands King im HipHop-Reich ist. Keine Frage, dass nun auch endlich ein Best Of Album den Weg in die Welt finden muß. Als erster Vorbote erscheint mit On Top ein Song, der bereits auf Tot oder lebendig zu überzeugen wusste.
Kein Wunder, schließlich treffen auf On Top wieder die beiden Schwergewichte Kool Savas und Azad aufeinander. Bereits mit One und ihrer Top-Ten-Single All 4 One bewiesen der Berliner und der Frankfurter, dass ihre gemeinsame Arbeit nicht nur kreative, sondern auch erfolgreiche Früchte trägt. Und wie bereits auf All 4 One , widmen sich die beiden auch auf On Top dem inhaltlichen Aufzeigen und präsentieren in einer von Melbeatz stimmungsvoll arrangierten Soundlandschaft die Kopf-hoch -Attitüde.

Egal, ob es mal schlecht läuft, es gibt immer einen Ausweg aus der Misere und da auch Kool Savas und Azad nur Menschen wissen auch sie, wie schwer das Leben einen manchmal treffen kann. Mit On Top sprechen sie allen Mut zu, die eine harte Zeit durchmachen, sich nicht hängen zu lassen, an das Positive zu denken und nach vorne zu blicken. Denn wie sagte Savas schon auf seinem ersten Album Der Beste Tag meines Lebens : Es geht mal auf, mal ab, aber immer nach vorn .

"Wir lassen´s langsam gehen, es gibt ja wohl im Leben nichts das eilt!". Die Hänger ließen auf ihrer 2013 erschienenen Debut-EP schon unschwer erkennen, dass sie ihrerseits Connaiseure der Zwanglosigkeit und Verfechter des Untüchtigen sind. "Lieber garnix, statt Palaver machen!" lautet bis heute die Devise. Zehn Jahre sind bis zur Fertigstellung ihres Langspielers ins Land gezogen. Für ein Duo, das sich Die Hänger nennt, wohl der ultimative Beweis für die im „Rap Game“ so geschätzte Authentizität. Mit den Jahren wurden die Haare der Protagonisten vielleicht etwas grauer und so oft zeichnet sich das Zeitgeschehen auf diesem Planeten in fader Eintönigkeit ab, ein Grund dafür mit "Bunt" musikalisch eine üppige Farbpalette anzubieten. Ihren Wurzeln sind sich die Beiden stilistisch sicherlich treu geblieben, aber der boombap-lastige Trademark Sound hat sich mit den Jahren dennoch auf seine eigene Art und Weise weiterentwickelt. So gibt es in mehreren Songs durch eigens von Headtrick eingespielte Trompeten und Flügelhörner sogar Chorgesang zu hören. Inhaltlich kreist der Pinsel um das Alltagsgeschehen, persönliche Anekdoten, die Vergänglichkeit des Daseins und was die Beiden sonst noch so beschäftigt. In diesem Sinne: "Der Scheiss kommt bunter als ne Hippietapete!".

"die 12" erscheint als genauso stylisches wie nachhaltiges Ökovinyl, das jede Platte durch verschiedene Verläufe zu einem bunten Unikat macht."
