V.A. Kenneth Bager’s Balearic Biscuits Volume 2

Copenhagen’s Music For Dreams cements its reputation as a label to watch with this new compilation of label boss Kenneth Bager’s favourite ‘Balearic Biscuits’ - eight of his tastiest secret weapons for the most eclectic and adventurous dancefloors brought together in one essential vinyl double pack.
The opener comes from Dusseldorf's ‘Saloon De Amateurs’ resident Jan Schulte aka Wolf Müller aka Bufiman. ‘Basedrum Party’ is a tribal funky jungle beat with strong percussion. Throw in some weird and wonderful synth stabs and you have a very original and special crowdpleaser - Kenneth's personal favorite record of last year. José Manuel delivers a great percussive tribal groove called ‘Macumba’ that shifts direction half way through, with a Doors organ vibe washing over the African continent. Mehmet Aslan is on remix duties for ‘Mechanical Turk’ by Karpov Not Kasparov and his Turkish Bazaar roots shine through in a mesmerising epic nine minute musical journey of pure quality. Jan Schulte once again twists his beats on his remix of Africaine 808 resulting in a hypnotic floorfiller full of energy. Kenneth Bager’s electronic disco and Fela-inspired ‘Biological Bread’ was recorded by him in Copenhagen then mixed by Tuccinelli in Ibiza and recalls an African Kwanza Posse mood. The 10 minute anthemic ‘Hafi Deo’ from 1985 by African Rumba singer-songwriter Tabu Ley Rochereau is a real winner showcasing his unique way of mixing Congolese folk music with Caribbean beats yet still sounding contemporary. Another special inclusion is the highly sought-after Kenneth favorite ‘I Think You Are Boring’ which was self-released in 1989 by 380 Volt Electric Papa - timeless drum machine overlaid with some very strange Italo-English lyrics. Finally ‘Fork Power’ by Grooveman Spot, a thunderous and amazing percussive powerful DJ mixing tool for peaktime heaven on any dancefloor. A special release for true collectors of the weirder and wonderful... Limited vinyl 300.
