Review: Long standing hero of the Berlin scene and Stil Vor Talent chief Oliver Koletzki steps up to present a fine collection of remixes for his label's next installment. He's been crafting for prolific friends and outstanding musicians for close to a decade, and for Remix Tales Koletzki has now compiled his personal favourites (with some previously unreleased ones too). Features his emotive take on German duo HVOB's "Dogs", Frank 'Ame' Wiedemann and Ry 'X' Cuming's Howling project on "Stole The Night", through to legends such as French Touch pioneers Cassius on "Toop Toop" and NYC electroclash icons Fischerspooner on "The Best Revenge". Keep your ears peeled for his upcoming full length which will be released very soon.
Review: Having previously guested on the mic for the likes of Dominik Eulberg and label boss Oliver Koletzki, Fran lets rip with her own solo album. With every flavour of the pop and electronic rainbow, it's a hard piece of work to pin down. One moment we're rocking to a fiddle-flicked country stomp ("Down"), the next we're jiving to a classic Kelis riff ("JayJay"), the next we're swept away in an emotional rush a la Kate Bush (the wonderfully titled "Cheesecake Mountain"). One thing that keeps the myriad styles in check is Fran's powerful vocal delivery. Think Annie, think a slightly diluted Bjork, think 'a jolly worthwhile album experience'.
