6 out of 20? Not too bad for a Years Ending!
Dec 17, 2008
Today Resident Advisor published their top 20 Albums for 2008,
and we are happy to announce that 6 out of them are distributed by no other than yours truly…
So without any further bragging & boasting - let’s get down to business:
17. Dave Aju - Open Wide [Circus Company]
One of my personal favourites this year, Dave Aju’s oral explorations sound like they were beamed out of Sun Ra’s mind, channelled through Bootsy Collins Bass, by the way of Dr.Dre’s MPC, straight into the feet of Berlin’s after hourRead the whole story
Stefan Goldmann and Dave Aju nominated for Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik
Dec 15, 2008
The almost unthinkable has happened. The Albums of Stefan Goldmann "Transitory State" (Macro07) and Dave Aju "Open Wide" (CCCD05) have been nominated for the "German Music Critics Award" in the fourth Quarter of 2008. The Board of German Music Critics is not well known for picking electronic Artists to say the least, as far as we know they have hardly ever nominated an electronic Dance Release at all. Jazz, Pop or what they call "Nu and Extreme" being the most ccntemporary of their regular Top Lists. However it seems that even the Grandsegneurs of the

Nov 10, 2008
Almost 20 years on from the original release of D.H.S.‘s classic, ‚The House of God‘, (DHS = Dimensional Holofonic Sound) is back to guide us and persuade us once again. Championed in Germany by Techno innovators such as Sven Väth in the golden age of 1989/1990, the track quickly reached cult status and is a true example of the power and magic of this music form.

Fresh from releasing their Technique album on Will Saul's Simple imprint, the Frankfurt duo of Matthias Vogt and Christian Rindermann, AKA C-Rock, have had a busy year so far. Their own brand of melodic house music has been in high demand during the current deep house resurgence, with releases signed to Freerange and Tsuba on top of their aforementioned full-length. To say that they are bandwagon jumpers would be far from the truth; they've been plugging at this deep, driving sound for a while now, even managing to score a collaboration with US house legend Chez

Oct 17, 2008
After three amazing EP’s on Circus Company, including the recent underground hit “Be Like The Sun,” we are proud to present Open Wide, Dave Aju’s debut full-length LP release. He has really outdone himself this time with his most conceptual and personal, yet accessible work to date. The album was made entirely with sounds from his mouth, but it’s no novelty affair, these are all wonderful pieces of music, covering a variety of styles. “Roundabout” starts things off with fat shuffling drums, an infectious bassline, and vocal refrain that builds
