Kruse & Nuernberg – Let’s Call It A Day

Kruse & Nuernberg release their debut artist album through Lazy Days Recordingsin October.  ‘Let’s Call It A Day’ sees the Hamburg based pair – who have previously released on labels such as Noir Music, Liebe*Detail and their own Save Room Recordings – step outside their boundaries to present an eclectic journey through their musical influences, including Indie luminariesLittle Dragon, Metronomy and Pheonix. Live pianos and guitars meet their electronic world with finesse through 11 songs, moving through genres and tempos seamlessly in what Lazy Days’ boss Fred Everything has called “a classic dance album in the making”.

The album features singer Stee Downes, who collaborated on last year’s #1 ‘Want You In My Soul’ from Lovebirds, Nathalie Claude, who featured on Andre Lodemann’s ‘Searching’ and Japanese singer Miwaki. They also co-produced a piece with Florian Kruse’s brother, and deep house legend, Vincenzo (Dessous, Poker Flat).

Kruse & Nuernberg have been on the forefront of the revival of the Deep House scene in the past few years.  As remixers, they have put their magic touch to artists like Dennis Ferrer and Groove Armada as well as being remixed by legendary producers such as Tom Middleton and DJ Sneak. They are also part of the successful outfit ‘Wiretappeur’, who released on John Digweed’s Bedrock label.

The links between Kruse & Nuernberg and Fred Everything stretch back several years with each being a fan of the other’s work.  Their first release on Lazy Days came in May 2010 and they have now recorded three EPs for the label, including a recent collaboration with Fred.

Vincenzo – Hume EP (Bedrock Digital)(Preview)

Germany’s Vincenzo is one of the stars of the Hamburg club scene. Originally spotted and guided by Steve Bug, he released his debut LP on the stylish Dessous label and is now an internationally respected producer. Spotters will already be well aware of Vincenzo’s excellent remix of Mutant Clan’s ‘On And Amp’ (featured on John Deigweed’s ‘Structures’ album) and his lush, piano laden deep house track for Bedrock 12 (‘Epic’), which was a collaboration with Lovebirds (aka Sebastian ‘Basti’ Doering). Having ticked the remix and collaboration boxes successfully, it’s now time to unleash Vincenzo’s debut EP on Bedrock.
‘To Hume’ is an energetic melodic beauty, which will surely prove to be a big tune for many DJs for months to come. It’s a proper feel-good, hands in the air top quality production. ‘Yarra Valley’ takes a deeper house but no less uplifting route and is destined to be a huge (check it!) summer tune. You need Vincenzo in your life! Here comes the sun!
