FAT5ZIG Compilation – upcoming April 2011
As every mama well knows, a good soup is a staple of a beneficial diet. A dish (or rather bowl) with more recipes than stars in the heavens, from tomato or potato to asparagus with quail eggs and caviar, a good soup always warms the heart. This concept has permeated Freude am Tanzen for many years, as it hangs high on a banner in the bureau in charming Jena. Since the founding in 1998 we go by the principle that every Freude am Tanzen artist has the freedom to make a soup to his taste. Individuality is our trump card! To know each others preferences is a superior advantage, when one finds himself in the wide spectrum of electronic dance music and being able to indulge in his own personal alchemy. That's how those stomach-rumbling shots of the chili-sweet-potato, or even dub-exotica and penetrating ambient bouillons are arising- oh, là là! Essentially rule numero uno is always Freude am Tanzen (= enjoy dancing)! Later, portions for testing are provided in our club steam boiler of trust, that reacts immediately and very distinct.
The now 50th Freude am Tanzen release as our jubilee edition is a gourmet trip through the sonic realm, where this soup principle of the FAT-team was first setablished: from deep house through to "frickel dub" over to ethereal beauties for the sunrise over the Saale Valley or the river Thames. Completely different recipes, unmistakably Freude am Tanzen, served by 11 current and former label artists and befriended foodies. With that, the Freude am Tanzen “5zig” is your ready-made snap-shot of current taste as well as a glowing soup tasting of the horizon. Our curiosity pushes us further, and our passion we share for only the one thing: wisely selected blends from the dance culture.
