Japanther:
Japanther is an art project, established by Matt Reilly and Ian Vanek circa 2001 while attending Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York. They’ve collaborated with a variety of artists including Penny Rimbaud, Dan Graham, Eileen Myles, VEKS, robbinschilds, Dawn Riddle, Claudia Meza, Todd James, Devin Flynn, Ninjasonik, Anita Sparrow and Spankrock. Japanther was featured in the 2006 Whitney Biennial and the 2011 Venice Biennale. In late 2011 they held a residency at the Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center in New York. Celebrating over ten years in the underground, Japanther have made a name for themselves in unique performance situations, such as alongside synchronized swimmers, atop the Williamsburg Bridge, as well as with giant puppets, marionettes and shadow puppets, out of the back of a moving truck in SOHO, and shows with giant dinosaurs and BMXers flying off the walls.
Described most recently as “art-rock installation paratroopers” and “a studied form of New Wave anarchism” by Flash Art, a “Performance Galaxy” by Vanity Fair, “Super hard, incredibly fast and overall inspiring” by Thrasher, “more accessible than other bands of its genre” by the New Yorker, and “the best band ever, straight up” by Tokion, Japanther has always been a band apart, running the gamut from performance art to punk rock and back again. Pushing parties to the limit (“Lincoln Center punk-rock concert turned mini-riot” -New York Post), Japanther returns with Beets, Limes and Rice, a celebration of ten years in the underground and an ultra-contemporary meditation on catharsis and being in love in a time of darkness. Following on the heels of Rock `n´ Roll Ice Cream (2010), Beets, Limes and Rice was again recorded in the hills of Los Angeles with producer Michael Blum, who has worked with Michael Jackson, Madonna (Like a Prayer, Who´s That Girl), Pink Floyd and Suicidal Tendencies. From Venice Beach to Rockaway Beach, this new album delivers a new urban punk rock dance sound that bursts with California sunshine and amped-up collaborations with Ninjasonik, Erick Lyle, Total Warr and John McIntyr. Beets, Limes and Rice was written in the midst of “It Never Seems to End,” an 84-hour performance piece in Vienna, Austria for TBA 21; in Paris, Venice, during cross-country travel from Juarez to Brooklyn to Bellingham, and lots of airports in between.
Anbuley:
Anbuley was born in Vienna to Ghanaian parents, lived in Ghana from age 4 to 9, and in Vienna since then. She sees herself both fully as Ghanaian and European, no compromises, an African girl who can also talk some serious Viennese slang. Her look at European culture is one from close range, but she has never lost touch with Ghanaian culture and her heritage. Her African influence is just as contemporary with no hint of nostalgia or melancholy. This finds expression in her music: an amalgam of influences making you dance no matter where you´re from.
The Oleee EP is the latest work of Ghanaian-Austrian singer Anbuley. It blends modern, eclectic dance music with Ghanaian tradition. Acknowledging her roots Anbuley exclusively sings in Ga, one of the many languages spoken in Ghana. The three tracks on this EP are produced by Viennese producer and label owner Florian Richling (Tipanic). The instrumentals combine organic beats, energetic electronic sounds, catchy melodies and clubby basslines. They fuse straight European dancefloor-pragmatism with playful African rhythms inspired by Angolan Kuduro and South African Kwaito.
The title track Oleee deals with the relief and the positive energy, after being unhappily in love, to accept, finish and start a new life. Tokota is a track about a big passion of Anbuley: high heels. The chorus line imitates the sound of heels hitting the floor while dancing. S3k3 describes how everyone has his crazy moments in life and reminds us to be patient with others who we think are crazy.
I-Wolf:
The wolf is back! Wolfgang Schlögl awakes his solo-music project I-Wolf from an almost 10 year long hibernation. Having worked on other ventures such as the renowned Sofa Surfers or different art-, theatre- and music projects (Faraday Orchestra, Paradies der Tiere and lots more) Schlögl has matured his own sound through lots of experience. It is an autocratic sound, negating fashionable minimalism or semi-ironic cheesiness. Jazz and dub rhythms flirt with an enthusiasm for soul and contemporary dance music.
Every new I-Wolf track exists in two universes. The Fleshandblood manifestation accepts chaos; it is a bacchanalian ode to life in excess. It aims to capture the delirious struggle of the soul, pulling the desires in many directions at once. The Skinandbones manifestation is ascetic, controlled, a concordant piece of harmony: focused, structured, pure. Schlögl: “Music flows; from musician to musician, from musician to listener, it is shared, given away, hoarded, mashed, remixed, reinterpreted, pours into a concert, onto the concertgoers and so on. I don´t think there is an essential form of any music. It´s freedom through variation.”
With the Chainreactions he is bringing along a new pack too: Portuguese harpist Eduardo Raon, wunderkind drummer/producer Sixtus Preiss (Affine Records) and battle-tested music veteran Eddie Siblik on guitar and bass. The three singers Nomadee, Aiha and Briknie ease the often challenging environment of an I-Wolf production and add just the right amount of bliss.
