BOOKA SHADE IS SASQUATCH!



For those of you  going to Sasquatch to dance, check out Booka Shade Sunday, May 30 at MIDNIGHT at the BIGFOOT LATE STAGE.  There's a little something for everybody.

The duo recently released MORE!, their fourth full-length release, on May 4 via Get Physical Music. With its 11 tracks and 45-minute running time, More! is a complete, self-contained work that is expecting to be judged, not against the latest faddy dancefloor trends, but against the other classic albums. Like Bjork's Debut, Hot Chip's The Warning or even Massive Attack's Blue Lines, it is an album of modish electronics, strong emotions and rich melodies, which is both of and transcends the dancefloor.

Explains Arno Kammermeier, one half of Booka Shade, “We wanted this album to be more energetic with strong grooves and of course the typical Booka Shade melodies and atmospheres that we love. The album takes you through every stage of the night out; the excitement before you go out, the party, the late, late night, a bit of paranoia...and then the sunny morning of a new day.”

Arno and partner Walter Merziger for the first time on any of their albums have collaborated with guest vocalists, sharing the limelight with electronic pioneers Yello on the song “Divine” and Get Physical favorite Chelonis R. Jones, electropop’s first cosmosexual antihero on the album’s first single “Bad Love.”
