Booka Shade November 27, 2007

Filed under: electronic — admin @ 6:19 pm

Discovering Booka Shade last year made me realize that innovation in techno was still possible.  Infact, I loved their album “Movements” so much that it made my top ten albums of 2006 list.

I think the Germans have techno pegged.  Booka Shade is a duo out of Frankfurt.  Partners in crime Walter Merziger and Arno Kammermeier founded Get Physical Records in 2002, and made their first big mark on the scene with their 2005 single, Body Language.

Booka Shade has recently released two singles.  Their sound seems to be going in a minimal direction, but still not lacking in the beauty that makes them stand apart from all other techno artists. 

From the new singles:
Karma Car
Numbers (Extended Vocal Mix)

My favorites from Movements:
Wasting Time - my number one favorite
Body Language
Night Falls
