PUBLIC POSSESSION

Speckman DJ & producer hailing from Hamburg. Co-founder of the tastemaking partyseries Dreamteam and resident at the legendary Golden Pudel Club is finally presenting his new album titled "Noisemaker" on Public Possession. His eclectic style as a DJ is perfectly represented by the music on the record, sitting comfortably between tech-house, indie, new rave and electronica; it could probably be best described as a pretty epic take on electroclash in a fully updated, reloaded 2025 version. Well executed party music with a nod to the past yet fully in the present and not taking itself too seriously. The mellow, deeper episodes are the topping on the bright, pink cake. Speckman is going to jump out of it and right at you. Find him soon in a DJ booth close to you, no matter if he is supporting The Dare on his EU Tour or holding controls at the Golden Pudel Club. It’s going to be wild and full of surprises.

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Nooiiice n tidy LP from the bar tender of the Golden Pudel who's absorbed bare talent from the rotating assembly of stars that have graced the club. Moving through synth, bass and house stylings with an effortless charm and silky finesse, Speckman comes through with what could be one of the biggest surprise hits of the year.

Eden Burns

Big Beat Manifesto Vol. X

Eden Burns back delivering the goods on Public Possession! A solid five tracker here gifting us pretty much a full length album's worth (especially with modern standards) of beats and basslines! He never disappoints! 

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: New Zealand's Eden Burns continue to carve out his legacy amongst the modern house fraternity. Ten volumes into his "Big Beat Manifesto" series and the quality remains super high.

DJ City, hailing from Stockholm is a DJ, a poet, a producer, a chronicler of contemporary urban nightlife, a romantic... the list could go on! His home is the clubs of Europe, the streets of cities like Stockholm, Berlin, Milano,
Munich, Paris and Rome.

Cocktail D‘Amore, Panorama Bar, or his own party Bad Dad are his playgrounds. Places he DJs at, a scene he is contemplating about on his first album. Musically a journey between classic house and Scandinavian disco with a subtle nod to the poppier side of the Balearic cannon. If Juan Atkins, Dan Lissvik and Andras Fox had a threeway love child on the Vancouver Riviera, "Paris, Rome" could well be the result!

What does it mean to be perfectly blue? Perhaps it means swimming contently in the waters of deep, complex emotions, or simply learning to spin low moments into casual days. For Luka Seifert, who makes music as RIP Swirl, the idea of being fine with not being happy all the time was the catalyst for his second album, Perfectly Blue. The two words captured something: learning to embrace being blue, while using music as a way of processing emotions.

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: A bit My Bloody Valentine pastiche (executed perfectly I might add), a bit ASO (from last year?) and a little bit of Tamaryn... this has come out of nowhere and won most of us over in a heartbeat.

Aroma Pitch is back with a 4 track EP including all traits of their warm analogue sound, that has garnered them so much appreciation in the past. Find a bouquet of feels including driving Balearic sugar rushes, big room body orgasms, chuggy tribal and lo-fi lucid dreams. All coated in a splendidly high def patina. Top drawer stuff from the Public Possession crew. Recommended! 

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: A new signing to PP's roster, Aroma Pitch contributes four tracks to the German label. Radiant and buoyant throughout, they'll serve you well over the summer months if you're working beach stages and star-lit open airs.

Baba Stiltz

Shame On Dry Land (OST)

    Baba Stiltz has written and produced the award winning soundtrack for the Swedish Movie "Shame On Dry Land (Syndabocken)". Awarded the Guldbagge price for best feature film soundtrack in 2024, the music is dense, at times oppressive, than again light-Mediterranean, all perfectly accompanying the story's vibe. 

    Baba Stiltz moving between Stockholm & LA. A myth, a young legend. Writing music since the tender age of 13, not bound by genres or expectations. Used to do Skweee before he defined his own sound of tech-house - skipped that (temporarily?). Now moving on to more folkloristic styles: country, rock, indie… you name it. Good music.

    A eurodans / trance-indebted epic on the ever-reliable Public Possession. Simone De Kunovich updated those classic 90s tropes with a modern production sheen and tighter arrangements than the sprawling 10+ minute sagas from back in the day. Never the less, these tracks are uplifting, empowering and transportive - lost-in-the-smoke eyes-wide-hut - havin' it right off mate....




    STAFF COMMENTS

    Matt says: This is my jam for the weekend! (Although I might pitch it down a bit). Coalescing the best bits of trance and eurodans before tightening up the arrangements and updating the drum palette. It ain't reinventing the wheel but it should put one hell of a smile on the dancefloor.

    TRACK LISTING

    A1) Flow My Tears
    B1) Super Mana Drain
    B2) Warp World

    When he‘s not writing or recording, Baba Stiltz immerses in fearless fiction by the likes of Denis Johnson and Dodie Bellamy; prose where pedestrian details become transcendent in aggregate and the inner lives of marginal characters are examined as though they were kings. A similar thesis runs
    through "Paid Testimony“, the essential second tape of minimalist guitar music from the FilipinoAmerican-Swedish artist.

    In recent years, Stiltz has made like Lee Hazelwood‘s Cowboy In Sweden in reverse, making annual pilgrimages from Stockholm to California and reconnecting with his roots via a guitar and a Fostex 4- track. He‘s drawn to the less glamorous corners of the golden state, an observant habitué of unkempt streets and dive bars stretching from LA to Vacaville. It‘s a long stretch from the jetset techno clubs where Baba originally plied his musical trade, but it‘s where he finds characters and ideas worth writing about.
    The characters on "Paid Testimony" are on the edge and on the run. Surrounded by flawed men with big schemes since childhood, he extrapolates characters who plot bank heists and order milk and
    vodka in AM hours, the type of confrontation-prone characters who 'say some shit, make everyone uncomfortable and then just split.' To focus on the rawness of this document would discount the humor and sympathy with which he treats his characters, not to mention the subtly-psychedelic songwriting recalling David Berman, early Smog, the original indie
    rock minimalist poets.

    On the final song, Stiltz looks back on the city that raised him, "Stockholm", referencing 'young professionals carelessly living' before adding "I can‘t say I‘m not jealous even though I live my life just like they do.' There‘s an honesty in the small details revealed on "Paid Testimony“, and a defined
    sense of place, be it Stockholm, Sacramento or some dim barroom across from the Bank Of America. Baba doesn‘t quite fit in anywhere. This outsider quality has often been used as a marketing tool, yet here, it lends a writerly aspect to the proceedings, an unreality to the everyday.

    Aiden Ayers

    Up To You / New Tie Bow

    Another unmissable 7” release from Public Possession ; “Up To You” is a celestial yet driving folk rock record with an irresistible groove. One of those perfect crossover moments that accidently skirts into Balearica without sounding forced or cliched.

    The B-Side cut “New Tie Bow” is more like deep, spiritual, desert electronica. Tranquil, a rich and well balanced mix comprising of hovering synths and brushed drums; it possess a warming, calm quality that’s hard to place but impossible to ignore. Aiden Ayers is proving to be a diverse and skilled songwriter / instrumentalist, and we’re thrilled to share his musical journey. 


    STAFF COMMENTS

    Matt says: Vancouver's Aiden Ayers continues to make splashes in the Balearic ocean. A skilled song writer whose more than a one trick pony, we also glimpse into his more electronic flavoured side on B-side track, "New Tie Bow". One to watch for sure. Manchester debut please!

    TRACK LISTING

    Up To You 
    New Tie Bow 

    Collection of alt-version / remixes from Wolfram's last EP and also released on Public Possession.

    "Rein! sees an extended 12" mix and also coupled with a 'Westbam Electro Mix' which adds all the neccessary freestyle flavour you'd expect from this Egyptian Lover commissioned version.

    "My Love Is For Real" sees a club-ready 'Dance Mix' coupled with DJ Digola & RIP Swirl's Piano mix - a crazed hardcore-breaks hybrid with rugged AF beat and tastefully, retrotastic vocal chops and piano stabs, before blasting thru into endorphin-rushing infinite. Massive!


    STAFF COMMENTS

    Sil says: Superb collection of revisions for Wolfram's Rein and 'My Love Is Real' featuring no other than Haddaway! All great and good, particularly 'Rein'. However, the original blatantly uses the beats from an early 2000s minimal techno monster a la Gui Boratto. Bassline taken out and drum kick left in. Westbam take on 'Rein' reminds me of early DJ Koze with its samples of German phone conversations. Just for these two tracks you really need this. Getting one myself.
