I´m very happy to announce a new Candie Hank mini album, despite the fact it´s too maxi for a mini album, these 8 tracks I simply had to release before the summer. Candie Hank – Ciao Bella!, an exploration of tropical acid psychedelia and surfy Catani swamp beats. Released in cooperation with Storage Records on  Bandcamp and various other popular download sites.

Story:
Longing I walked my path, diving iced seas, studying the language of Puddle Bong Frogs.
After a long time of recreation, navigating over the Oceans, spending countless hours in deep dialog with jellyfish and long nights on my fluorescent coral bed in the deep sea, cutting wood for the winters in Cape Horn and distilling pure spirits that I filtered with pages of old books, a wishful utopia became reality.

A musical umbrella crafted to resist sun storms and other turbulences.
Be wise, travel light and praise the place to hide.

This years invitation to Krasnodar and Moscow was in particular special since I could really make out the difference between the relaxed and chilled atmosphere in the south east Caucasus region of Krasnodar and the – let´s say rather thrilling and turbulent environment of Moscow City.

After my arrival in Krasnodar I had some days to chill and to get ready for my concert organised by Synthetic Freedom Fighters and Zyma Vodka at Arena Hall. It was very funny to play on the traditional family day, the international womens day and you could feel that people felt quite homely that night. Strenghtened by clear vodka and delicious herring under a fur coat, we made it a perfect family day.

The next days I got taken around the area, got invited to some and furthermore also to the area of Sochi where they will have the winter olympics 2014. I finally got introduced to an armenian grape spirit called cha cha. Da Da Cha Cha!

When I arrived in Moscow it was still minus degrees and there was hills of snow all along the roadside. Getting through the city to play the radio show at Radiofollow.me was feeling like winter olympics already. Luckily the studio was warm and more than that – truly sweet. It was great to see what conditions they provide to make it an entertaining radio joint.

The concert at Live-Café turned out to be real fun and I was pleased to meet the band “The Shapka” from St. Petersburg.I hope we will have a good time together again soon!

Thanks for all the nice support and good spirit, I will be back!

Modern Bucuresti New Years Eve Party

After a few months of working in the studio and for the theaterplay of Elementarteilchen at Theater Freiburg. I had a very nice start of 2013 in Bucharest / Modern Bucuresti. While I was chilling in the south of Germany I made this 8Bit East European Cumbia track containing Romanian and Russian vocal snippets.
I´m planning a nice and easy Candie Hank release for spring going more into that direction.

BUT! Also coming soon:

Tour in Russia / March

Final Release of the Videogame “Battle Block Theater” containing a lot of my music. I will release the used songs on my Bandcamp as well.

In May I will release the first Patric Catani album since almost a decade on the new label “Keep it Business”, I´m very happy about it and will keep you informed.

It looks like 2013 will be not as bad as it sounds ..

See you, all the best for 2013!

Candie Hank – High Art of Lo-Fi

Patric Catani / Candie Hank Mixtape

I´m honoured to bring you the Inside the Box Mix no #20 and to celebrate their 1st year anniversary with you!
The music can be described as psychedelic bass and booty sounds from the past and future.

About the mix:
You can build on concept on top of the other, spin at around to feed it with some more loaded up conceptional idea. Pass it on to some more people who load it up with theoretics and slowly take out the original flavour to make it more accessible and safe. You continue on their ideas, give it another theoretical twist to finally release something completely different from the origin.
OR – You just bang that shit!
Keep it spicy!
Sincerely yours,
Candie Hank

Some holiday Polka Tuica Anthems to spend some quality time in the Balkans..
Take those free downloads and do what you got to do!

I´m spending a fair amount of time in the Freiburg “Stadttheater” at the moment to work on Christoph Frick´s version of
“Michel Houellebecq  – the Elementary Particles”. I compose the music for it and will join the theatreplay with concert parts, presenting a mix of misanthropop, electro, chanson and physical-physic pornpunk.

The actors Marie Bonnet, Michael Schmitter, Holger Kunkel, Charlotte Mueller, Johanna Eiworth and Hendrik Heutmann will be part of the music too.  The premiere will be in October and shows will be played until 29th of december 2012. There also will be a Candie Hank concert at the  little venu called Finkenschlag (Haslach) on the 24th of November 2012.
It would be nice to see you there!
