Marbert Rocel are Compost's latest signing. Hailing from Thuringia, Germany, the are combining deep minimal house, electronica and jazz and with a great sense for pop music.
You got to be patient when crossing Marbert Rocel's path late at night or listening to one of their tracks because you will start thumping with your eyelashes until you see your whole body turning into a non-stop wet wet wriggling - waterfall-esque armpits inclusive!
The duo consisting of Marbert AND Rocel is a trio to be exact: Marcel Aue (producing, DJing and mixing), Robert Krause (producing, DJing and artwork) and Antje Seifarth (Vocals) have always know how to melt down the ears and the sneaker soles of their fellow Thuringians with their house-jazz-frickel-elektronika performance. But with the release of their debut album "Speed Emotions" it is time to venture out and spread their compositions to all those greedy music appreciators worldwide...
Sunny sound dots appeared all over the wide valley of Thuringia, Germany - the place where lush moving meadows outshines the ways of masters and servants. Everything began with two upright guys and a fly girl, who had a cup of milk and honey at the late club. By every slug they spread a warm and cosy beat over the folks hearts. Beats like birds flap their wings in the rhythm of warm house and understatement pop. For five years to date they keep to the big bang jigger kings with delight uptempo emo and frickelchick.
Recently Marbert Rocel plucked up their samples and sent good feeling track cards from their train station Zughafen to their main station Compost Records. United they are devising the new zippy album to bring your birdy hearts to fly.
Compost Records label releases albums and the same sort of like this from time to time. Theyre neither big surprise, nor huge break-through, yet theyre a must by all means, as theyre quite unique all the time. This album here is just like that for me. It doesnt handle a particularly wide spectrum of music, but what it does is handled with rarely-seen devotion and variegation. The electronic, modern-sounding and mainly dance-floor oriented tracks use chugging and cricketing influences of minimal music at times or include male-female duet featured pop investigations. Therere parts at other times that end up in the hurricane of melody-breaks experimentalism whats followed by nice, soft and patting lounge alike music that makes you wanna dance. Even the best word for the end of the album would be the one: elegant. Despite of the albums great musical maneuvers and sound-engineer-solutions, if I had to summit this disc in few words, Id say: sense and sentiment walk hand in hand.
