Lito Akari & Slowdown - Tropical
BIT056 - 22.10.2021
Planet Tropical. Time doesn’t move hour to hour but mood to moment out here. Lift off like a drone with Lito Akari & Slowdown as they take you on a trip to a place unknown to humankind. Where atmospheric synth lines & massive drums melt into an outer world listening experience, pandering inner peace within us. Deep shades and turquoise blue island vibes, the endless summer.
Nobodys Face - Beats Beim Drehen II
BIT026 - 03.12.2021
2020 vision. Screw a concept of space and time, because life repeats itself, life repeats itself, life repeats itself. Nobodys Face goes beyond the future, leaving the metaphors we live by behind. Once again, he's created thriving rhythms & mind expanding spheres of sound. Listen, exceed the conscious, submerge reality.
Featuring Dead Rabbit, Torky Tork, 7apes and DJ Piper, Nobodys Face is spinning the wheel of fortune for just one more time this year. Don't you know that life manipulates itself around us? Nothing you can do about it. Just roll with it. Roll with it. Roll it up, light it up, smoke it, repeat. "Beats Beim Drehen", Round 2.
7apes - Tales Of Two Cities
BIT025 - 26.11.2021
These are the tales that I tell so well. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, the duality that lies within all of us. 7apes is captured in a society that won't allow him to focus, one that is saturated with trials and tribulations. Bound to the structures of modern day madness, he's forced to compromise over and over again. Fit in. Assimilate. Obey the conventions. Until now. These right here are the "Tales of Two Cities", the catharsis of one human's boundless love of music. The outpouring of creativity, fed by talent, intellectual freedom and exchange of knowledge. Urban Jazz sprung from classic Hip-Hop roots. The organic, the Neo, the Nu.
Dal Bosco & König - Dead Lions
BIT045 - 29.10.2021
Dal Bosco & König orchestrate a secret agent crime story in 4 thrilling chapters. The two Munich natives and members of the band 'ooi' are fully set on analog tape, acoustic soundscapes, warm textures and melodic moogy wonkiness. And yet, the synthesized sound of the 80's keeps sipping through and creates a symmetry of sound with the percussive appeal that is inherently present in the production style of the two live musicians.
The Yard - Off The Moon
BIT048 - 15.10.2021
The Yard. Revering nostalgia, celebrating future development. Not all those who wander are lost. Whilst consciously embracing classic techniques & aesthetics of 80s R&B and 90s Hip-hop production, their sound & vision expands to much wider spheres. 2-Step rhythms at a 100+ bpm, House infused basslines and live instrumentation shatter the monotony of the loop and elevate rhythm & melody to next level grooves. The music, freed from the cluster of expectation, becomes alive through momentary motion and situational texture. Message recorded, lessons be stored in this mental core, like end to end burners off the moon.
Dead Rabbit - Refractions EP
BIT044 - 27.08.2021
Light gets broken in a blink of an eye, sound is altered as it passes by. All that matters is you, all matter passes through, gets altered, becomes new. You're just a piece of the puzzle, the expedient.
Dead Rabbit has mastered the art of refraction. He composes music like a movie script, breaks the big picture into pieces, rebuilds its patterns, diverts sound to new tiers of beauty. The humble and introvert producer primarily known as the mastermind behind Marsimoto's Rap classic 'Halloziehnation' comes out of his shell and releases his first instrumental EP via Block Opera, allowing intimate insights to his versatile production style and composing abilities.
Each track emerged from its own genesis, each track carries its unique mood, each track scores a different scene. Feature artists 7apes, Audhentik & fellow Green Berlin member Nobodys Face add their very own frames of sound, making 'Refractions' the perfect soundtrack to a movie yet to be made.
7apes & Joha - Earthbound
BIT038 - 30.07.2021
Earthbound. Proximity and reverberation in unity. Arisen from the real world, fused in its own musical entity. A mesmerizing heartbeat captures any hindrance from Zen. Swirling chords and tranquil leads nurse you to relax and wander from Space Age to avant-garde Rhythm & Blues. Creative freedom, the Mother of inner beauty. 7apes & Joha embraced all of the above when they composed their most recent piece.
Earthbound Remixes. 7apes & Joha have passed on the torch to some of our favorite producers to re-envision their most recent piece of art. With Drum Quixote, K-Paul & Nobodys Face we found the perfect match.
