Downtempo collective from Cologne, Germany, established in 1994. Following up on their release “Logbook” (a summary of their early works morphing from a rock band into a soundsystem collective) and “Guestbook” (dating from 2003 and featuring a.o. Moby/Waldeck chanteuse Joy Malcolm, Klaus Schulze and Washington D.C. based poetry artist JEN), the long awaited 2017 “Blackbook” was more like a summary of constantly broadening horizons. Their next album 'Redbook' will see the light of day on August, 13. in 2021. Before that, the first single taken off the fourth Solar Moon longplayer, couldn’t be any more fitting: “Mwezi” is Swahili for “Moon” - out on July 2nd, 2021 ! And while the “Redbook” album, just like its three predecessors, is mainly & carefully curated from undusted & refurbished top studio shelve material amassed during now 27 years of band history, “Mwezi” is a brand new song, composed & produced between the band members only this spring. While Tom Dams still works from his recording 'Studio Forstmehren' nestled somewhere deep within the German countryside and as Klaus Schulze’s producer and sound engineer, drummer Razoof chose Kampala, Uganda as his new home while spending most summers as a DJ on the Balearic island of Formentera. Meanwhile, George Solar lives and works on the neighbouring island of Ibiza all year round as a Downtempo-DJ and Ambient-percussionist for a decade now, soundtracking the most beautiful sunsets and beach bars on a regular basis.
