This record is like the lost crown jewels of House Music with a story that spans decades.
Originally programmed in 1998 on an Akai S3000XL, this was meant to be released on
Bjørn Torske's Footnotes in 2001. Unfortunately the original matrix and the master DAT
tapes got lost under crazy circumstances. Yet several years later the tapes were found by
Sex Tags Mania in the studio of mastering engineer Helmut Erler and the record
eventually got issued in 2009 when a totally different House sound was "en vogue."
Then due to some unfortunate coincidences most of the records ended up in far flung
Japan, and so this record stayed totally underground. Yet it became a cult hit when House
Music and later Disco got a proper revival around 2010/11. So over the years prices for
this rarity were rising and rising...
Then fast forward to 2025: after a sunny day off Berlin's modular synthesizer show
"Superbooth" ATJ boss Mr. Fonk and Doc L. Junior teamed up to finally reissue this gem
with new masters by Andreas Kauffelt of "Schnittstelle" / Berlin.
On this 12“ Norwegian Disco and Balearic sounds meet: funky but deep to the core, playful
but hypnotic, stripped down but with baroque details. Truly one of House Music's greatest
productions.

Gingerblack is a dynamic House Music DJ duo better known as Lilly & Kazan. With classic Chicago House beats Gingerblack are bringing sexy grooves back to the dancefloor while their original Lilly & Kazan moniker stands for trippy dj-sets & productions pushing Cosmic Disco and Indie Techno.

The duo has been enchanting dancefloors at renowned clubs and festivals across Europe while co-founding clubs like “Kasette” in Istanbul, “Christa Kupfer” in Berlin and the beach festival “Bloom” on the Mediterranean Sea.

Lilly's promoter expertise and Kazan's two decades of experience in the electronic music scene as a DJ, producer, and promoter make them a multi-discipline force to be reckoned with. The duo is known for spreading unique joy and passion on stage.

Through one of their club nights Lilly & Kazan made friends with „All That Jelly“ label boss Mr. Fonk who became a resident at their club. In „Christa Kupfer“ they also hosted House music legend Robert Owens, playing unforgettable nights with them. It was a match made in heaven!

Now all four of them have collaborated for this 12“ of the purest oldschool House Music, brought to perfection by the flamboyant prince of Vocal House and remixed by Wareika member Jakob Seidensticker and his producing partner MELINA.

Mr. Fonk founded „All that jelly“ in 2016, as a sublabel of „Smile for a while.“ Mostly focussing on his DJ ventures „Karen's Piano“ is his first full EP. Produced around 2014, remixed three years later. It was signed by a big label but never saw the light of day. Now it's out in all its beauty: A timeless mashup of Disco samples, sweet strings, bouncy bass lines and classic 909 beats. On top comes a 90s House piano and diva-style vocals. Four mixes by producer friends round up a perfect oldschool House record.
