Passion, emotion and life’s other big themes are the threads, leading through this new recording. Demandig an active listener as with previous solo projects (Seven and Storm, Rough Cuts) Parov Stelar cooperates on “Femme Fatal” with Wolf Myer and his Orchestra.
Over 30 guest - artists helped to create a fresh and vivid album that is always aware of it’s jazzy roots but definitively goes beyond any genres tight boundaries. Hip Hop meets Soul, Funk, Pop und Jazz in a perfect blend of analogue and digital. Leading the listener into a world full of intimate thoughts and capacious moments, “Femme Fatal” rejects all daily struggle and rush.

kirk de georgio joins archive with his main project as one.
having recorded for nearly 20 years for underground labels like b12, likemind, his own art and opart and more known ones like mo wax, clear, r&s, far out, planet e, ubiquity, new electronica, versatile, kirk has made his mark in electronic music already.
this new album entitled ‘planetary folklore ii’, is an imaginary follow up to the legendary ‘planetary folklore’ released back in 1997 on mo wax.
nearly ten years later and the magic is still there- this album combines electronic moments like ‘germanium’ with orchestral pieces like ‘to see with your eyes’, fractured funky chopped beats like ‘irradiant’ with peaceful ambient moments like ‘pastorale’.
