Bellcrash - Suzume Park

Bellcrash are Mark Bell and Paul McMahon. They are producers from Belfast who met each other 4 years ago through a mutual friend who thought that they should work together. The friend was right because Mark and Paul really clicked. They discovered that they not only had a mutual interest in jazz, funk and latin music but also in all forms of music technology. After immediate support for their first release "Coaltion Ep" from the usual suspects in the game, Mark and Paul had been so busy in the studio they decided to produce a full lenght album. They agreed that the album would have to be as diverse as their musical influences. Eighteen months later the album was finished and all that remained was to find a home for it. To celebrate the completion of Suzume Park the pair took themselves off to Barcelona where they ended up in the company of Nigel Hayes who loved the album and passed it on to Sunshine Enterprises where Bellcrash now call home. "Suzume Park", the album. "Open Minded" the first track out of the "Suzume Park" will get You in the mood for this jazz hipsters heaven. Follow on into the right groove with "Losing Gamble" & "Going To Ground". So there You have it "Suzume Park" 12 excursions into timeless and versatile jazz schemes for your listening pleasure from Mark Bell and Paul McMahon out of Belfast via Vienna.

The follow up to the phenomenal re:jazz vol 1. 'Point of View' is a majestic and noble journey into recent contemporary favourites.

Music that is still and will always be characteristic of the present, past and future. A star studded line up includes Ultra Nate, Jhelisa Anderson, Lisa Bassenge and the amazing Viktoria Tolstoy, to name but a few. A truly sensational listening experience.

Parov Stelar - Rough Cuts

"Rough Cuts" - Parov Stelars first full album and most precious work so far is an absolute must for friends of smoked beats, jazz and house! After two years of hard labour and a lot of finishing touches in late-night-turning-early-morning sessions, the head of Etage Noir Recordings presents an album which deliciously floats between Old school Jazz and modern Hip Hop Break। Different from Parovs preceding Maxis on Vinyl this long player on CD seems to be most appropriate for the dimmed light easy listening area rather than the club. Deep samples and compositions groove regardless of the actual fashion and trends and lift this album into a timeless piece of art, not worrying about any durability date. In 10 songs "Rough cuts" tells us a story drawing new facings again and again, properly taking the listener on a pleasant journey. A journey that seems to start in the Jazz beginnings of the 30's and ends a long time after the computer revolution...

Dublex Inc. - Eight Ears

In four short years, Dublex Inc has amassed an impressive balance sheet: two EP's, two highly successful singles, over 20 remixes, more than 60 licensing deals to the world's top compilations and a major foray into the world of big business, as well as the single Nifty Night and the forthcoming debut album Eight Ears. But let us not forget the day when talent and good fortune collided and Dublex Inc.'s world-wide sensation Tango Forte ended up on the desk of the producer of the Sugababes who overlaid the rhythms and melodies with those irresistibly infectious 'round round' lyrics taking the song to number 1 in the UK. As with the follow-up single Tocame. Dublex Inc. established two fundamental criteria for their debut album: firstly, it had to move beyond the dance-floor context. As a result, Eight Ears is fuelled by constantly shifting swells of tempo and mood which take hold of listeners without dragging them under or flooding their veins with squalls of adrenalin.

Rodney Hunter - Hunter Files


Family matters! You know, associations of people who share common beliefs and activities. Kindred could be another apt and resourceful word to use in situations like this I guess? Always similar and related in quality and character, this of course the G-Stone manifesto and code of conduct as we know it. It has always been a family related thing here in Vienna, like one giant belonging. Time now for the G-Stone family to share its newest member! Two years in the making and with guest appearances from outstanding talents such as Hubert Tubbs, Ken Cesar, Farda P, Hunterfiles is a worthy excursion into the new sounds of Vienna and beyond.
