How to describe a new cd in times of upgrades and downloads, understatement and overkill? Ladies & Gentlemen, attention please, before you continue fiddling with your I-Pod or fall back into the lounge. The BLAUEPHASE DJ team is releasing a new, song-orientated cd „Discoarzt – The Original Soundtrack Album“ and accompanying vinyl EPs with zeitgeist minimal future disco.

The project:
An outrageous hommage to pop and club with a twist back to the future. A larger-than-life, ambitious , sharp mixture of a DJ team and a pop group. Minimal, pumping vinyl mixes for the club crowd and radio-friendly album material featuring strong singles. BLAUEPHASE live are a temperamental tour de force, yet maintaining a disciplined approach while working in the studio. Jens Poenitsch ( Lefreak: vocals, keyboards, guitars, vinyls ) and Bernd Jakopic ( Dr.Luv: keyboards, vinyls, data, programmes ) happily forget about dull pop business rules and ignore turntablism clichées with this record, just functioning as producers, musicians, vocalists and entertainers with the natural ease of veteran DJs.
Advanced electronics and real instruments blend with walls of vocals ( Glam, Music can ́t be too loud), echoes of disco and glam ( Stardust, Dream Love) surface in their own material, while covers ( Blockbuster, Drive) are stripped down and then rearranged. Recurring themes of pop, the bombastic album intro ( Blue Pt.1) or the classical ballad ( Beautiful Stranger) are simply absorbed and pimped up. Toying around with grandezza, irony, futurism, nostalgia, stereotypes and taboo, BLAUEPHASE just want to entertain you, after all…
Want to cure you from a daft, elitist attitude. Want to combine showbiz tradition, rock ́n roll romanticism, disco hedonism and electronic kicks and present it to you as a remedy against current musical boredom. The origins of Discoarzt ( a German fantasy word roughly translated as club doctor) dates back to the first BLAUEPHASE album “ Freaks in Munique” and the accompanying, successful german club tour. Inspired, they immediately started parties in Munich ́s best hang outs, mixing old vinyls with innovative electronic files, combining DJ art with live performance. Keywords like Munich Sound, Musicland, Mercury, Bowie, Prince, Chic, Donna Summer or Faltermeyer have a similar status in the BLAUEPHASE universe like Tiga, Scissor Sisters, Radio FG, Guetta, Roulé, Kitsuné, Kompakt, Munich clubs Café am Hochhaus,
Rote Sonne or the Munich lifestyle shop Kare where BLAUEPHASE promoted club and vintage cds over the last years. But now get ready for the first BLAUEPHASE cd release “ Discoarzt – The Original Soundtrack Album” on Disco Art Recordings
