People, listen to the signals: when the club life is reawakening, DJ Hell returns with the album House Music Box (Past, Present, No Future).
In contrast to its predecessor album Zukunftsmusik (2017), with his new work Hell looks back to the glorious early days of House and Techno in Chicago, Detroit and New York City.
Obvious references are the heroes that vibrated the dancefloor from the late 80s, i.e. luminaries like Ron Hardy, Frankie Knuckles and Lil’ Louis from the Chicago house scene, or the legendary radio shows of The Electrifying Mojo from Detroit. Not to be forgotten are, of course, the NYC House of Larry Levan or the Nu Groove records from the early 90s – all of them served as musical godfathers for Hell’s House Music Box.

Back to the roots. In line with this, Hell’s opus number six emerged as a classic album: House Music Box simply comprises eight gripping new bangers from the groove manufacturer that is the super gigolo Hell. The record is not only a concept album about the beginnings of electronic DJ and club music, but also a danceable history lesson. Exemplifying that is already the superb first single: ‘Out of Control’ is a mightily stomping dancefloor monster where a killer bassline and an infectious synth riff meet. A vocal sample rightly demands ‘Don’t stop!’, because the magic that Hell created with his controllers leaves one in pure ecstasy of happiness.

The songs ‘Freakshow’ and ‘House Music’ are a musical bow for the innovative originators of house in the windy city. On ‘Freakshow’, the vocoder vocals ‘Ron Hardy is the true creator of house music’ recall the prematurely deceased DJ who was best known for his eclectic sets and radical edits. Hardy used to deejay in what was the successor of the Warehouse, the legendary ‘Music Box’ club, eponymous for the new album. On ‘House Music’, nomen est omen naturally applies: over the flawless house from the quality brand of Hell, he loops various samples, fragments of sentences such as ‘Acid comes from house music’, ‘Techno comes from house’, ‘Foundation of house music is’, or ‘Chicago house music’. Through their persistent repetition plus grooving beats, a hypnotic effect soon arrives, so that the music – thanks to the magic production of Hell – starts to speak.

On ‘Electrifying Mojo’, on the other hand, Hell honours the visionary and enigmatic Charles Johnson a.k.a. The Electrifying Mojo, whose radio show (airing from 1977 until the mid 80s) had a substantial influence on the development of techno in Detroit. As he frequently played Kraftwerk, for instance, the publicly shy Electrifying Mojo emerged as a key facilitator of future electronic music in the spirit of the Detroit-Dusseldorf axis.

Almost self-evidently, Kraftwerk - the grey eminence of German electronic music – shaped the background of Hell’s new record too, via the usage of vocoder vocals as a rhythmic element or the bass frequencies as the carrying foundation for each track. Clearly recognizable is the influence of Kraftwerk’s 1986 work Electric Café (now: Techno Pop) on the groovy track ‘Tonstrom’. Fans of the ‘industrial folk music’ will hardly be surprised, as this was Kraftwerk’s working title for the record. Along with sound poetic vocals, Hell tickles a cool funk from the warm machine sounds over nimble bass lines, as on House Music Box he uses – not only for this track – the same analogue synths from the seventies as Kraftwerk once did.

The oeuvre of DJ Hell is famously characterised by his artistic desire to have a different approach to each album, while at the same time constants provide inner cohesiveness and cross references. One example would be the theme of automobiles, as an influence of Kraftwerk’s ‘Autobahn’: just think of songs like ‘Hellracer’ or ‘Car Car Car’. The car motive is again present on House Music Box, with the ambitious track ‘GPS’. Conceptually speaking it is a highlight of the record: over sparse Roland drum machine beats, we can hear the female computer voice of a navigation device devising the fastest route to ‘destination Berlin nightlife’. This almost has a double meaning, as once inside the club, the music will guide the dancers.

No DJ Hell album, without cover versions. Or, should we better call his idiosyncratic electronic editions of established hits new originals – referring to a term that Laibach coined. This definitely holds true for ‘The Revolution Will Not Be Televised’: his update of Gil Scott Heron’s soul classic turned into a veritable 4-on-the-floor version. The slogan, which originally came from the Black Power movement, carved out a remarkable career, not only thanks to several new versions, but equally alienated as an advertising slogan for bar chains. The fact that Hell takes up this track in the days of YouTube, Instagram and Facebook illustrates us today that the idea of a political revolution is long gone. For that reason, all he keeps from the wordy original is its headline while the impulsive beats prove all more, that at least the revolution of the dancefloor is nowhere near over.

Past, Present, No Future – even if Hell’s deep bow to the trailblazers and pioneers of electronic club music was already completed when the corona pandemic broke out, the subtitle of House Music Box proved apt even so in the light of the circumstance that especially the club scene is seriously affected from the coercive measures of the crisis. It was therefore quite prophetic that on ‘Jimi Hendrix’ you can hear pieces of the last interview that the guitarist gave shortly before his controversial death. „I can’t build anything right now, you know, because of the things that are happing right now. I just have to lay back and think about it all.” House Music Box is, in many ways, the right record at the right time. Because as DJ Hell speaks about his album: ‘House Music for me has always been a spiritual experience, a higher, different form of communication, so to speak’. So, let’s listen carefully what he reports about his musical excursions in the Past, Present and Future of House.

A1 Toxic People
B1 Dreamz


Short Info:
Multi-talent Joyce Muniz is definitely one to look out for. Initially starting her career as a vocalist,
she now took over the global house music scene within no time as a deejay and producer as
well. Exhibiting her talent with previous releases, it's not surprising that she's on the roster of
prestigous labels such as Exploited Records and 20/20 Vision Recordings. Next year she will
release her single "Toxic People" on International Deejay Gigolo Records featuring the singer,
songwriter and producer Demetr1us. "Toxic People" is a vibrant and raw sounding electro house
cut featuring grimy synths and vocals, that lend the track a cold and distant atmosphere.
The artwork for "Toxic People" was created by Leipzig-based artist Silvia Trost, whose forth lies
in oil and acrylic paintings. She now frequently collaborates with glitch art artists and loves to mix
materials and techniques, both analogue and digital.
The B-side "Dreamz" is another great production by Joyce Muniz. The playful groove and eclectic
ambient makes it a cool package.

A1 Say My Name
A2 (Time To) Work The Box
B1 Work Me (Thats Fierce)
B2 Work Me (Please Don´t Stop)


Short Info:
International Gigolo Records are re-releasing Move D's & Thomas Meinecke's joint LP
"Work". For the first time it will be released on digital & vinyl.

WORK is a four-letter- word

Since the 1920's one could establish an etymological mix between the sphere of work and
love, as the so-called 'working girls' (young, employed women, mostly employees in bureaus,
who wore short skirts and even shorter hair and smoked in pubic), marked not only the first
broad noticeable swing with previously unknown women who had sovereignty over their
sexuality (not just in sociological sense), but also commonly working girl could also mean a
prostitute. In a subcultural jive the word 'work' built up increasingly to a word for
self-determined, often sexually dissident activities, until they become central term in the
overly queer, mostly Latin-American subculture (glorified by Judith Butler and Madonna) of
the vogue ballrooms, Spanish harlems. 'You better work' is the chorus of the super hit
"Supermodel" by the drag queen RuPaul and that was truly not meant as a call to the
working moral of the Anglo-Saxon protestant (WASP) society of the USA (the accompanying
video clip was turned in New York for its chiseled street walkers infamous meat-packing
district). The 'Underground house music' of New York, Chicago's Booty Bass or Detroit's
Ghetto tech uses the word until today in the context of almost loosely sexual metaphors
(work my body over), that here often are coded as very bipolar, don't serve the
(business)ubiquitous sexism, but (in the triangle of defamation 'race, class and gender') pose
a critical potential. David Moufang and Thomas Meinecke 'worked' their way through the
repertoire of this exciting music, producing a hypnotic mix of countless samples, paired with
statements by the involved
(dance veterans, drag queens, DJs) and their own voices and instruments. Other Rooms,
other voices.
Ever since 1998 the in 1996 Heidelberg-born musician, studio owner and dj David Moufang
alias Move D and the in 1955 Hamburg-born writer and musician Thomas Meinecke
collaboratively produce 'sonic fiction' for the radio drama and media art division of the
Bavarian Broadcasting. David Moufang founded his own imprint 'Source' in the 1990s, but
releases his own productions on numerous international labels. Since 1980 Thomas
Meinecke plays in the band F.S.K. that he cofounded (on 'Buback' since 2008), themes
and moderates the music program of the Bavarian Broadcast since 1985 and ever since 1986
publishes belletristic books on Suhrkamp press. The last joint production of Meinecke and
Moufang ('übersetzungen/translations') was awarded with the Karl Suzuka price for radio art
at the Donauenschingen music festival in 2008.

A1 Anything, Anytime (Extended Version)
B1 Anything, Anytime (Solomun Remix)


Left for top, right for bottom, colours for every piquant taste your deepest thoughts dare to divulge; your hankie tells tales, and orange tells the most. Anything, anytime, nothing is left off the table. An open invitation to explore and excite. Looking for a ride?
This is the story behind the third single and opening track from DJ Hell's critically-acclaimed fifth album Zukunfstmusik, 'Anything, Anytime' pays homage to the handkerchief code, a unique flagging practice most popular during the most critical creative explosion of club music.
Barbed, delicate, bittersweet and introspective, the 14-minute track's softness and gradual sense of piano-laced theatre carries certain shades of a love song. In many ways, it is…. There's love in a brute sense. Physical openness in its most honest and forthright form. But there's also a sense of romance for the most sensational outburst of hedonism and pleasure that dancefloor music ever experienced - the 70s gay movement wherein major metropolises throbbed awoke and boundaries and barriers were challenged and shattered every night.
These lightning strikes of illicit freedom, carnal energy and momentary abandonment are the deepest seeds of all forms of electronic music; sentiments that echo throughout Hell's unhurried, unrestrained salvo. Percussive connotations of leather, the cavernous reverb conjuring open industrial spaces such as you might find in New York City's meatpacking district at the time. The palpitating heartbeat, occasional flashes of sense-blurring giddy physical fizz… Up above, down below, choose your colour; while many love songs are babymakers, 'Anything, Anytime' is much more of a bed breaker.
While the original wears orange with pride, the remixes wear their own colours. The first of two remix packages, both Solomun and Argy come at Hell's original from contrasting sides. Solomun's is a light blue. The molten bass and slinky electro breakbeats creating a sensual, slippery experience that could lead to absolutely anything, it writhes and continually pleasures with every twist and turn. Argy's, meanwhile, is bold jet black. Dominant, intense and unrelenting. It's 'straight outta hell' by-line fulfilled with every sweaty arpeggiated peak and vivid flashing strobes, this is visceral, sweaty techno and there's no release without the safeword.
Two more remixes will follow imminently while the original comes complete with its own stark visual representation. In keeping with Hell's use of Tom Of Finland's cult visuals on the artwork of the album's first single 'I Want U', 'Anything, Anytime' continues to reference seminal cultural documents of the era. This time with its video; a stylised and provocative, black and white piece that riffs on the ground-breaking 1980 Al Pacino movie Cruising. An exploration of the iconography and stark fashion that visually represented progression, a celebration of overt sexuality but also a sense of restraint and composure… The calm before any storm your handkerchief may cause. Let's go cruising…

Short Info:

We are pleased to announce DJ Hell´s 5th album „Zukunftsmusik“, to be released on International Deejay Gigolo Records.
The techno revolution 30 years ago, where boundaries, walls and our own guarded natures came crumbling down? The archaic establishment-challenging attitude and forthright energy of the punks? The long-awaited eruption of gay culture that had burned and yearned since the dawn of mankind? Dare you travel even further back? Rewind two hundred years to the romantic revolution where men like the blitzed Berloiz helped us transcend our physical limitations for suspended moments of fantastique disbelief… All of these moments have shaped us, our music and our culture. Each movement comprising artists who – like us right now – are trying to make sense of the uncertain world, the chaotic present and the fearful future. Artists like Hell. Welcome to the future…Reflecting over his participation and contribution to myriad cultural movements since the late 70s, his passion of ever-evolving musical form and our current socialpolitical landscape, Hell taps into our collective rich histories, our combined fears and our mutual desires to create his most personal, ambitious and thought provoking body of work to date:
Zukunftsmusik.
His fifth studio album Zukunftsmusik fuses some of Hell’s strong signature motifs (his passion for subversion, his great kosmiche canvases, sudden throbbing bursts of dancefloor dynamism, subtle songcraft) yet it sounds unlike anything Hell has ever created before. There are very few big club singles. A delicate balance of classical dramatic orchestral tension and evocative futuristic synthesis runs throughout. Dark and light, hope and fear, fast and slow, day and night… Over the course of one hour Helmut Josef Geier invites you on a musical trip of a lifetime; his lifetime, your
lifetime, music’s lifetime.
