#ListenNOW: "We Had No Model (Album)" by Prophet Mountains

"We Had No Model" by Prophet Mountains

Prophet Mountains is a musical duo that breaks the mold and challenges the status quo. "We Had No Model", their debut album, is a bold declaration of who they are and where they want belong, a battle cry for the wanderers and dreamers, who search for their spot in the ever-changing world. Their sound can be described as a fusion of psychedelic and electronic pop music, inspired by a spectrum of artists, from Philip Glass to Funkadelic, from Nina Simone to My Bloody Valentine.

The name of the band comes from the Hebrew word Nabi, which also conjures up a visionary art movement that embraces artistic freedom and transcendence. The lyrics are intimate and healing, voicing a bitter and redeeming anger, a defiance of models and norms, a celebration of uncertainty and liberation.

From the dark and dismal days of 2015 to the bright and warm ones of 2023, it has been a long journey. Prophet Mountains' is a voyage from darkness to light, like a fuzzy picture that comes into focus gradually. Music that can be classified almost as a revelation. Amazing album by a fantastic band!

#DanceNOW! Double Triangle, Carlos Ucedda - "I adore you (Double Triangle Remix)"

If the song sounds familiar to you now, we have already presented Carlos Ucedda and ‘I adore you’ once before; back then, the song was still very 80s (greetings to Luke Tangerine at this point). Together with Double Triangle, they take a step further into the 90s. You could almost say: ‘I adore you’ has arrived in the golden era of techno. The remix shows Double Triangle in top form, with good progression that keeps up the tension and simultaneously proves that, together with Carlos Ucedda, they can also capture the 90s flair magnificently and present it in the style of the 2000s. Great Remix of a fantastic Song by the end of the year!

OUTNOW! Dichtboi - "Wer bin ich¿"

"Wer bin ich¿" zeigt eine tiefe Identitätskrise und Sinnsuche des Menschen. Dichtboi symbolisiert den verzweifelten Versuch, der Realität durch Illusionen zu entfliehen. Der Text erinnert daran, dass wahrer Mut darin besteht, sich den Herausforderungen des Lebens zu stellen und Erfüllung innerhalb der realen Grenzen zu suchen, oder es wird zur Flucht in eine andere Welt, die leider oft nur einen Ausweg kennt. Und so bleibt am Ende der Beginn einer neuen Ebene der Existenz. Nachdenkliches von Dichtboi zum Jahresende.

#ListenNOW! ‘Impulsein (ft. Micheline van Hautem)’ by Jean-Philippe Ruelle

Who hasn't experienced the initial excitement of new love? Intense and pulsating. Everything is new, and there is so much to discover. Jean-Philippe Ruelle picks up on this theme and stages it in ‘Impulsein’. While the first part is still characterised by this positive hectic pace, the second part plunges us into a continuation dominated by passion. The vocals and instrumentation are given great impetus by the sophisticated arrangement and bring a great deal of musical depth. ‘Impulsein’ by Jean-Philippe Ruelle and the beauty of an instrumental.
