31plan Frank Schultige is the unobtrusive genius from the neighborhood for bathroom singers, kitchen dancers and sofa dreamers from the suburbs. This new record is less melancholic and even more joyful than previous works. Less serious but all the more lovely dub atmosphere than recent duo mit Mr. Frahm. Quiet masterpiece.

about

REVIEWS :
'TAZ über 'Kiss Dance Kiss' :
Keine Frage: Frank Schültge aka F.S.Blumm hat ein ganz besonderes Händchen für den Sweet Spot - für den Bereich also, in dem etwas optimale Wirkung entfaltet. Als Produzent hat er seinen eigenen Sound entwickelt. F.S.Blumm klingt wieder vertraut und überraschend zugleich Einsteiger*innen belohnt er mit subtilen, nuancierten Klangwelten.

'WESTZEIT' über 'Kiss Dance Kiss' :
Blumm .. spielt auf „Kiss Dance Kiss“ wie von ihm gewohnt ganz hervorragende elektronische Musik.

'DEUTSCHLANDFUNK KULTUR' über 'Kiss Dance Kiss' :
.. auch auf seinem neuen Album, das Dub mit Krautrock-Sphären mischt, klingen die instrumental Tracks zwar irgendwie distanziert unheimlich aber gleichzeitig auch entzückend heiter.

INFO SHEET :
Dirtiness and Divergency
It's a mystery what the handwriting of an artist is made of. What are the ties between artist and art? Why do we recognize the sound of a music producer even if they suddenly create music of a differnet genre?

On his new album "Kiss Dance Kiss" F.S.Blumm remains unmistakably himself, even if he assembles dub- infected, saturated, overdriven instrumental tracks. It may be his signature guitar sound, the disarmingly straightforward melodies, or the irresistible groove: This groove is compelling but unobtrusive. Three, sometimes four notes create timeless melodies.
F.S.Blumm unleashes his love for beats and dub by allowing the bone-dry riddims to dive deeply into the genre typical echo-chamber, combined with sweet guitar arpeggios and melodic basslines. These are friendly dub monsters. It doesn’t all fit seamlessly into the homogeneous sound. Take "Nimbb" with it's angular electronic groove, devoid of any melody, or the surprising horn timbres on "Twistert".

As with all of Blumm‘s works, there is a familiar intimacy even within big echo chambers.

His music searches for the sweet spot. He waits for the right time to record a piece, allowing for the exact degree of maturity of an idea, the magical moment when guest musicians meet, the collision between a well-planned process and happy coincidence. Finding the perfect spot for microphone placement, walking the fine-line between too slow and too fast, pinpointing the right delay-time are all inherent in Blumm's craft. It is a music full of these fragile constellations, interferences and synergies.

The concept of 'composition through duplication' is repeated visually on the cover:

Repetition creates blur and noise. Patterns rub against each other. Sound waves flutter in the wind. A simultaneous sunrise and sunset indicate the search for the perfect overlap.
Each track acts like a rhythmic serving suggestion for individual dance moves. Music for the daily dance around the kitchen table. A lookbook for kraut-dub, analog-electro or adult-instrumental-pop.

.. and now out into the sun.
