Booka Shade

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

From their beginnings as a trancey house duo to their more mature post-millennial work that incorporates pop, ambient, techno, and funk influences, Frankfurt, Germany, duo Booka Shade has maintained an elegance of style that owes little to whatever current dance music trends are on the scene. However, before they were Booka Shade, Arno Merziger and Walter Kammermeier had an early-'90s synth pop duo called Planet Claire, which in the tradition of Underworld and Ministry mutated into something very different after their early direction pete...[more]

 

 

VINYL FORMAT. There is almost no one else in the independent music world who's technically able to produce an album that can keep up with Booka Shade's production standards, and yet on this forthcoming album, they've raised the bar yet again. No one will be surprised to learn that the pop factor has had a huge influence on the outlook of the album.

Booka Shade is Walter Merziger and Arno Kammermeier, production masterminds behind the first 13 Get Physical releases. This is their second full-length release. In charge of their own production company and studio for the last 15 years, they have profoundly applied their wide range of talents to the realm of electronic music. Meanwhile, Booka Shade's own redefinition of dance music found its expression on their debut album, Memento, which drew on their background as pop producers and their ability to   [ read more ]

A proper album rather than a collection of single sides and remixes in the usual house music tradition, Booka Shade's full-length debut has the shapely flow of one long composition.
