- The Berlin-based artist weaves together soul, hip-hop and house on his first mix CD.
Suol will release Fritz Kalkbrenner's first mix CD in March, entitled Suol Mates.
Kalkbrenner may be the younger brother to one of Germany's biggest electronic acts, but that hasn't stopped him from carving out his own musical identity. Through his productions and his DJ sets, the Berlin-based artist wears his soul and hip-hop influences on his sleeve, and sings over many of his own (and other people's) tracks, most notably 2009's "Sky and Sand," a collaboration with his older brother. Suol Mates highlights his eclectic approach to house music, with selections from artists like Roy Ayers and J Dilla slotted in next to deep house cuts from Lawrence, SoulPhiction and Motor City Drum Ensemble.
