The featured artist this week was very easy to choose. Paul Kalkbrenner, the old school German producer has recently released what is already considered his biggest album to date. He is easily one of top5 best live acts I’ve seen in my life and his music is able to transmit such feelings that nobody else does. Obviously Bpitch Control is the label behind this released, their work with Kalkbrenner has been going on for ages and the union seems to enhance the results in both sides.
This release is a special launch of an  OST to a movie called “Berling Calling” where the main artists of the cast are Dj Ickarus (P. Kalkbrenner) and his girlfriend Mathilde (Rita Lengyel). The movie portrays the life of techno dj as it really is including: gigs, relationships, record deals, touring and drug use. This is the closest you will get to real life. Seems like a movie that we all should watch and listen – the OST was all produced by Kalkbrenner. The plot is set, let’s talk about music:
The album starts with “Aaron” a low-pitch track perfect to start a set. Great Beat and soft melody to go along. The next two tracks also dive through soft rhythms, perfect to be listened in one of those special party’s. “Sky and Sand” was the first track that really caused a different impact on me when I listened the album. The accapela is great and all the power t

hat is created when the beat starts is simply amazing. I’m having goosebumps just by remembering it.
What more can i say? The album goes on and one with pure German productions, always presenting deep melodies with an arrow pointed to your heart (and soul) (e.g. “Square 1″, “Bengang”, “Moob”). There are also some Special edits of previously released tracks like “Altes Kamuffel”, “Atzepent” or “Castenets”. There’s even a new remix of one of the major Berlin hits this year – and that we so much appreciate – “Sascha Funke – Mango”. One last note to the Special Berlin Calling Edit on “Gebrunn Gebrunn” remembering us what music should be all about: feeling, enjoyment and attitude. This was the music that Paul Kalkbrenner ended his last set here in Portugal leaving us crying out for more.
Paul Kalkbrenner delivers a couple of great new tools and also some that we all knew from his sets but were previously unreleased! Berling Calling OST is already one of the best albums of the year. Don’t miss the movie also.
