When comes to releasing new music, the word ätrendô is not part of the
vocabulary of Sonar Kollektiv. On the contrary Sonar Kollektiv has a
long-standing reputation for releasing records that can pass the test of time.
New signature in their staple Musician/Producer/Dj LARS BARTKUHN from Frankfurt
shares this philosophy as well. LARS was a passionate music lover from earliest
childhood on. After discovering THE BEATLES and BEACH BOYS he deeply fell in
love with the music of PAT METHENY, KEITH JARRETT and JOHN COLTRANE to name but
a few, and also with countless other styles beyond Jazz such as Soul, funk,
Rock, Brazilian music and so on... In the following years LARS worked as a
session musician, playing in many different formations from Jazz quartets to
Funk crews over to Brazil bands and Fusion combos, where he refined his skills
and discovered new vibes in the world of music. His fascination with the deep
and soulful side of House and with the music of LARRY HEARD, KERRI CHANDLER,
ANTHONY NICHOLSON and RON TRENT amongst many others brought him to create his
own label Needs with his brother MAREK and his good friend DJ YANNICK. Needs and
the production of the trio rapidly gained recognition from the best Djs and
artists worldwide. LARS and his crew have been asked to remix countless
producers and bands such as FRANCOIS K, JAZZTRONIK, ENNIO MORRICONE, IAN POOLEY
and ATJAZZ and their label Needs became synomyn for open-minded and timeless
house music.
LARS BARTKUHNÆs own productions have been played and charted by many DJs around
the globe and the seminal anthem Worlds from his project PASSION DANCE ORCHESTRA
has been heralded as a true dancefloor classic. LARS also released 2 wonderful
full-length albums Dreamland and Choreographies respectively on Needs and
Impartmaint labels, where he breaks the boundaries that makes House Music a
secluded world. On the DJ side LARS, his brother and DJ YANNICK were hosting
their legendary éNeeds (Not Wants)Æ nights at Robert Johnson in their hometown
of Frankfurt, while regularly playing all over Europe. LARS also worked for the
prestigious Red Bull Music Academy as a lecturer (Rome/Ekaterinenburg) and
studio producer (Seattle).
LARS personally met JUERGEN from JAZZANOVA three and a half years ago, when they
played together at one of the famous Kaleidoscope parties in Berlin, and they
talked about a possible contribution on Sonar Kollektiv. This long-awaited
moment is finally arrived with the release of LARSÆ new masterpiece entitled
Dimensions (SK171/elektrish). Dimensions is LARS BARTKUHNÆs finest moment to
date since the release of his classic album Dreamland on his own Needs imprint.
Tired of all the restrictions in the world of club music and bored with all the
clichΘs in nowadaysÆs house, LARS composed Dimensions (SK171/elektrish) with 2
thoughts in mind : displaying his love for heavy grooves, harmonies, complex
strings and keyboard arrangements and creating something really timeless and
unique. Over a syncopated funky beat and a colorful keyboard hook LARSÆ
flourishing arrangements will keep your ears and mind as busy as possible and
will take you on trippy journey that that will expand your mind and refuel your
soul. On the flipside MARCUS WORGULL of Innervisions fame comes up with a very
effective and DJ friendly remix, where the tension rises beat after beat.
WORGULLÆs version is a surefire crowdpleaser that will undoubtedly be pitched by
DJs such as DIXON and ┬ME and that will make your heart beat faster and stronger
on the dancefloor!
