LE RACHINGUE vol.1 - various artists digiCD - cat# rachcd003 - 2005
“Rachdingue”, the surrealist club created by renowned painter and sculptor Miette “Clédalique” and her husband Pierre Bessière, has long been at the forefront of various art forms in Catalunya. Since opening in 1968 it has gained a worldwide legendary status with the avant-garde scene. SALVADOR DALI, a friend of the owners and possibly the club’s most famous supporter, was one of the many architects of the extreme creativity witnessed and enjoyed by many generations in this very special conceptual location. Overlooking the bay of Roses, a few kilometres from the famous Catalonian city of Cadaquès, “Rachdingue” boasts unique scenery which has organically evolved over many years.
Eclectic is one of the keywords in a moment of escape in the universe of “Rachdingue”… incl. hakan libdo / jori hulkkonen / dumas & charton / enjoy collective / labulo / hawke / alvina / matt r.mutt / minimal / mademoiselle caro & franck garcia/ j.bowman / shades of blue / uninvited partners.

From Barcelona, with a personal mixture recreating relaxing atmospheres & an indietronica's touch, Nuria TAMAYO (No Neo / ex-An Der Beat ) & Oriol CODINA, a catalan computer-freak, just signed as MINIMAL on UBAHN, with a debut mini-album & 12' inch EP ' TINY CAN', including remixes (MAD PROFESSOR, RADIO BOMB & Manuel PEREZ). With a dark-folk introduction, a singular 80's bassline, & an heavenly & sensual whispering, you could consider TINY CAN, as a top single. UBAHN also proudly announces that MAD PROFESSOR remixed MINIMAL (Indietronic / Barcelona) for this first release. With Mad Professor at the controls at Ariwa studio (who has re-shaped, in his own inimitable style, the work of artists, such as Massive Attack, The Orb, KLF, UB 40, through to Sade, Jamiroquai, The Beasty Boys & Rancid...), this song has been mixed for lovers of the best of Dub, Rock & Electronic Culture.

TARA KING TH. could be considered as a band between sweet dark pop & electronics, with post-rock influences. UBAHN selected two tracks, including a famous Cure cover ‘Cold ‘, from their debut album ‘Sequence 01’. The much awarded French artist Benjamin Biolay asked them to remix 3 tracks for his new album & they actually prepare a special live-project with Dominique Paturel (french JR-Dallas - voice) & Jonathan Hart. tara king th. /press - magic ! Pour Tara King th. ce sont les variations électroniques qui mènent la danse. Aucun risque de perdre toutes les eaux du corps, c'est plus au cerveau que s'adresse ces fins tireurs.

members: Dominique - (Voices and Enchantment) Richard - (Music and Control) an unique mixture of soulful sonic textures and aggressive beats produces the feeling of being entrapped as Dominique’s bewitching vocals gently lead the masses into submission. NEIKKA RPM is the next generation of dark club music that many describe as the apocalyptic fusion of Front 242 (anno 2003)'s hi-energy with the Starseeds's sexy & shimmering feel. With several contributions to compilations worldwide, the first seeds for the invasion had been sown, now the time has come to harvest the forbidden fruit known as NEIKKA RPM - a new trademark for female-fronted modern electronica.

Hector Xiqués and Nuria Tamayo (An Der Beat), from Barcelona, have with their first recordings ‘Science Piano - first Demos’ brought them a lot of public esteem. The musical press has shown big interest, which is quite unusual for a band that has no record published yet. Their unique formula allows no easy comparison, and even their biggest influence like Lindsey Buckingham, the Velvet Underground and Kafka. is not easily detectable. After a tour in Spain at FIB Presentation Parties 2002 with Nada Surf, NO NEO finally played at Benicassim 2002, performed with such great artists like Soft Cell or 2 many Dj’s at BAM 2002, & have got one full page in the French pop magazine MAGIC! They prepare their debut album for Strangeones Records & also will appear on UBAHN STREET vol.2, with an original Nuria’s song.
