SOWAS VON EGAL 2..

Two years have passed since we proudly released our first "Sowas
von egal" compilation. We had a lot of fun putting it together and
the feedback we received was so positive that we soon decided to
follow up with a second instalment. With the musical movement
or genre known as NDW celebrating its 40 th anniversary, what
better time than now to launch an ambitious successor to the first
sampler!
The beating heart of this endeavour is once again invigorated by
the synchronous passions of bespoke Hamburg label Bureau B and
our Damaged Goods nights where we present rare, obscure synth
& wave discs from the early 1980s which absolutely deserve to
heard. It was clear from the outset that "Sowas von egal 2" would
need to scale similar heights of excellence as its predecessor,
featuring carefully selected, sought-after, danceable tunes.
We began by compiling a pool of potential tracks, a creative
process of lively discussion in the spirit of "open-mindedness"
which culminated in a list of priority targets. The research and
detective work which followed was characterized by rich
encounters with musicians, friends and acquaintances who
displayed a deeply touching willingness to help us, enthusiastically
offering advice, ideas and valuable contacts. We had to revise our
target list several times over - some artists simply could not be
found, a few had actually passed away. There were also some who
were determined not to revisit their own musical history and asked
us to leave out their songs. Some tracks we have included are so
rare that they do not even appear on Youtube. We are delighted to
have picked up the rights to release them. It's fair to say that
"Sowas von egal 2" includes more staple tracks from our party sets
than part 1.
