Cluster & Harmonia’s ambient pioneer Hans-Joachim Roedelius pulls out a timelessly future-proofed new instalment of his ‘Selbstportrait’ series some 40 years after the first one.

Even though we've seen the man perform at least half a dozen times at one festival or the other, we haven't really kept up with the discography of French-Serbian director, actor and musician Emir Kusturica and his No Smoking Orchestra. On the cover of 'Corps Diplomatique', the band's first release since 2007s 'Time Of The Gypsies', all band members are dressed in Mexican mariachi costumes. Don't expect any mariachi music though, as Kusturica serves another dose of his usual cross-border anarcho-Balkan sound his live sets are famous for as well.

Originally known as Ben Iverson and the NueDey Express, the newly Christened Crown Heights Affair relocated to De-Lite Records in 1975. With the benefit of worldwide distribution, the group achieved immediate success with a stream of singles. "Dreaming A Dream" reached #1 on the Hot Dance Club Play chart in 1975, and they reached #2 on the Dance chart later that year with "Every Beat Of My Heart". In the UK they made the Top 40 in 1978 with "Galaxy Of Love", and #10 in 1980 with "You Gave Me Love". The album Do It Your Way contained the tunes "Dancin'", "Far Out" and "(Do It) The French Way". In the 1980s they were successful record producers for some Prelude Records acts like France Joli and they produced two songs for Amii Stewart in 1981.

Like Earth, Wind & Fire and Kool & the Gang before them, Crown Heights Affair artfully bridged the gap between funk and disco, guaranteeing their records new life via sampling by successive generations of rappers and DJs. Originally dubbed New Day Express, the group formed in Brooklyn, NY, in 1967, originally comprising lead vocalist Philip Thomas, guitarist William "Bubba" Anderson, bassist Arnold "Muki" Wilson, keyboardist Stan Johnson, and drummer Raymond "Sugar Ray" Rock. Crown Heights Affair's roster soon expanded to include saxophonist Darryl Gibbs, trumpeter James Baynard, and trombonist Julius Dilligard, Jr.

Achtzehn Monate war es ruhig um SERIOUS BLACK, eine vergleichsweise lange Zeit für eine Band, die seit ihrer Gründung 2015 maximal ein Jahr bis zur Veröffentlichung eines neuen Albums verstreichen ließ. Nach drei erfolgreichen Alben und über 120 weltweit gespielten Konzerten, haben sie die verdiente Auszeit dazu genutzt, neue Konzepte zu entwerfen, an frischem Material zu feilen. Bassist Mario verkündet stolz: “Das Warten hat nun ein Ende, wir sind frisch und ausgeruht zurück. Vor allem sind wir aber hungrig, auf die Bühne zurückzukehren.“

A strong supporting cast includes the superb Falk Struckmann as Iago and star tenor Michael Fabiano as Cassio.
