Summer is now a distant memory (if indeed this year's effort even counts as a summer), and so too is the annual Cologne Summer Tunes homecoming party thrown by the Karmarouge team. But that doesn't mean that your chance to download the free Ton sur Ton Vol.II mp3 compilation released to commemorate the occasion has also passed - so get downloading from the mini-site while you still can...

Following on from the free mp3 selection offered last Christmas, the most recent Karmarouge digital compilation serves up some "sunkissed electronica" back catalogue treats from their roster, which includes Luciano (with his Vegetable Orchestra interpretation), Gabriel Ananda, Cio D'Or and Max Cavalerra (who sadly has nothing to do with the rather better known - and crucially lacking one 'R' - Max Cavalera of Sepultura fame). In the beginning there was minimal, runs the lesson from Daniel Mehlhart, underlining the central position the M-word had now assumed on the dancefloors of Europe with his "Am Anfang war es minimal" tribute.

To complete your Karmarouge education you will find yet more mp3 treats amongst the links on the left hand side of their skeletal weblog, making sure to absorb the stream of consciousness nonsense verse masterpieces of Denglisch that pass for press blurb chez Karmarouge as you go. Ignore the literal meaning and simply listen to the sound of the words, and the effect is positively poetic: "The interlocking master tunes are well fed by a smacking acidline and merge to a big fat groovebastard," they tell us of the Metope remix of Gabriel Ananda's 'Life is steadily breaking my heart'. "It's a snotty jack - your - body- track that sets the floor on fire." Indeed.
