Alessandroni & Paul & Honesty-Tridem
new cd-digipak with quicktime movie
Alessandro Alessandroni
His whistle and guitar became the distinctive sound of the Italian
Spaghetti Westerns. Alessandroni collaborated on hundreds of movie
soundtracks and documentaries, most notably the Sergio Leone trio "A
fistful of Dollars", "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. " "For a few Dollars
more" as well as "The Seven Golden Men", "Around the World with the
Lovers of Peynet", "El Mercenario", "Navajo Joe", "Once upon in the West"
and many more. His childhood fiend Ennio Morricone invited him to
collaborate on the score for "A fistful of Dollars" where his haunting
whistle became the signature tune to the series of Westerns all 'Ilaliana.
Alessandroni has performed in live concerts, on radio and on television
throughout Europe, he is a vituoso player of piano, accordion, sitar,
mandolin & saxophone. But as he says, "of all instruments that I have
played, there is always one I call my own, the guitar".
His name is legend: the whistle and guitar from Sergio Leone's "A Fistful of Dollars", the voice of the crazy "Mah'na Mah'na", composed by Piero Umiliani. His name is associated to those of Ennio Morricone, of vocalist Edda Dell'Orso and the "Cantori Moderni" ("Modern Singers"), the choir that accompains the maestro in soundtrack performances but also in arrangements for Italian pop music hits in the 1960s.
Multi-instrumentist, one of the few sitar players on the Italian scene, he performs several Morricone soundtracks.
His filmography seems endless, with dozens of titles ranging from spaghetti western to erotic movies and italian comedy.
Recently he recorded a new soundtrack for "Trinity Goes East", a cross between spaghetti western and martial arts b-movies.
Slope (Paul & Honesty):
"Slope" was founded in 1996 by Dj Honesty and Daniel Paul. Both have been around
for quite a while in the Berlin club-music scene.
Daniel Paul should be known to many as a DJ and for his house releases on
his imprint Cabinet, which has been around since 1995.
" Slope" is determined to show a new side of music, seeking to leave the
well trodden paths of classical club-musical genres such as House or
Ambient towards an openminded approach - call it "elektro jazzy freestyle",
if you want ...
Some linerz to introduce two buddies known as Slope.
Slope is made up of Daniel Paul Hoffmann (aka Daniel Paul ) and Hans Schaaf ( aka DJ Honesty), both living in Berlin. The ¿Slope story¿ begins in 1996, the year in wich the Urberliner Daniel Paul bumps into the cologne ¿ immigrant Honesty during a party at Berlins alternative cultural centre Tacheles. Before meeting each other, both have already been musically active: Daniel Paul ran (and still does) the label cabinet (first shelter for Djs like Tom Clark or DJ Zky), and already produced electronic music. Honesty, besides producing and running an own label, got into the deeper techniques of making a studio work properly, thanks to his job at Sound and Drumland, Berlin.
Well, it is known that the most fructuous fellowships start on partys :-), and as the chemistry between both is right, Hans and Dan decide to join forces on a common project.
Slope is born, Daniel and Honesty spend countless nights together, producing ambient electronic tracks in their Studio located in the Neue Schönhauser Straße just beneath the tramway tracks. Quite soon after teaming up, their first 12¿ Planet H. is released on Interfearence Records, the legendary label of Dr. Motte and Uwe Reineke. In 1997, the first Slope ¿ album No Cookies follows.
Since then, the Slope guys have come a long way: discovering new musical inspirations like the music of such great soul artists as Roy Ayers, Minnie Ripperton, Stevie Wonder and 60s/70s Brazilian music, the soul of dollis hill, native tongue hip hop, and, as they say, ¿all centuries of detroit¿, musical frontiers have steadily been pushed further. As kind of a logical result of this evolution, their music was progressively fusioning house, boogie, techno, broken beats more and more with jazz and soul.
On an occasional dj gig, Daniel Paul gets in touch with the Berlin based Sonar Kollektiv label, and will soon be given the opportunity to run his own sublabel, mermaid records. Slopes 1999 release on Sonar Kollektiv / mermaid records exemplifies the ¿organic turn¿ in their music, to which they still stick: smooth, filter & electric 2 (charted by 4Hero, by the way), is a perfect fusion between electronic beats and organic melodies. Also, the first solo release by Daniel P. for Sonar Kollektiv / mermaid records, Regulus,that features the marvellous track Islands, an epic amalgamation of south american guitar and chants with 808 beats, or the solo releases by DJ Honesty (Honeydrop2 and Yellow Sunglasses on Cabinet Records), can be understood as a turn towards a more song ¿ orientated understanding of clubby music. Since this time, the Sonar Kollektiv, full of like ¿ minded artists, has definitely become Slopes Homebase.
A few months later, Slope have caused a sensation, having released the track Para Los Pinchas, that was licensed by Michael Reinboth for Future Sounds of Jazz vol. 8 (LP only ), and a true cult remix of Paul Kuhns Gateway to Crime (for the label Crippled Dick Hot Wax). All of this came with rhapsodic feedback from insiders like Little Louie Vega, LTJ Bukem, Nik Weston, Alex Attias, Dublex Inc....
But even that was not enough: In early 2003, Slope release their first album for Sonar Kollektiv, M, that was very well received. The tracks Basscheck (the one that is ¿so heavy, it needs its own bag to carry it¿) and Your time is up (yes, it's a remix of the first UR tune featuring the singer Yolanda, and it's Mad Mike ¿ approved) have caused a real buzz: played by djs like Ewan Pearson, Jazzanova, Gilles Peterson or DJ Spinna, they have caused a global butt ¿ move.
In a real workaholic state of mind, Daniel has co ¿ produced the album of the singer -/songwriter Deyampert on Sonar Kollektiv in 2002, revealing his song ¿ shaping talent. Additionally , in the same year his label, Cabinet Records, has been brought back to life after 3 years of complete silence with a n awesome disco / house joint, stuffed with strings, claps and a lot of sweat (Daniel Paul ¿ Love is in the House ¿ Cab 21). Three well received releases have followed (DJ Honesty ¿ Harz / Camargue ¿ Cab 22, Yannick Labbé ¿ Gallieni/Hotbox ¿ Cab 23, DJ Zky & Fritz Kalkbrenner ¿ Stormy wheather ¿ Cab 24), and there still is a lot more to come!
Since their early producer days, Daniel Paul and DJ Honesty have been spinning records all over Europe, often back to back, moving the people to the max, mixing house, nu Jazz, broken or late night boogie beats. In fact, it really doesn't matter if these two work as producers in their studio or as DJs in Clubs, the guys dont know boundaries!
After having moved to a new, window ¿ pane equipped studio (YEA! The pale studio-tan days are over!), the future is dedicated to the release of the M - remixes by Envee, Lars ¿LB¿ Berenroth, Henrik Schwarz, Volker Meitz, and Yannick L. For those who can't await the next album: Slope have just finished the track mousse, that will be featured on the upcoming mix - cd by Jazzanova (mixing,to be released on Sonar Kollektiv), and yes, the next LP is in the pipeline already. Additionally, Daniel Paul and DJ Honesty are producing the next album of the italo ¿ western music genius Alessandro Allessandroni (the whistler in The good, the bad and the ugly title theme) for Crippled Dick Hot Wax, and shaking down down a remix for the Swiss electro ¿ act Sequel.
So, whatever you may call that these guys do, Eclectic Freestyle or Floor Filling House, Slope know what they do, and they do it well. (Yannick Labbé)
Several releases for Jazzanovas Sonarkollektiv label, remixes for Crippled
Dick Hot Wax and Compost Records speaking for consequent fine work.
Enjoy!
