Bogendorfer - Cohuna Beatz (Vinyl Album Cuts) [B.A.B.A. Records]

8DPromo · Bogendorfer - Cohuna Beatz (Vinyl Album Cuts) [B.A.B.A. Records]

Step into the sonic universe of Cohuna Beatz, the latest vinyl voyage from Bogendorfer, the Austrian maestro tapped into the pulsating heart of electronic music. Released on the timeless medium of 12" vinyl, this LP is a passport to the diverse realms of deep tech, organic tech house, and groovy, funky downtempo. Imagine a sonic odyssey that traverses the lush landscapes of Vienna’s vibrant musical scene, guided by a pioneer who’s been electrifying dance floors and stirring souls under the guises of Dj Anza, IMIX, and FRANZ JOHANN. Within these diverse cuts, rhythm is king, melody its queen, and every track unfolds like a chapter from an epic saga of sound. Cohuna Beatz is a manifesto of Bogendorfer's decades-spanning journey through electronic music's ever-evolving genres. From the captivating call to the dancefloor in "Come On Now!" to the hypnotic collaboration with Morocco's Ismailovic on "Drop That Beat" to the mesmerizing, rhythmic declaration of "Gotta Move," each piece is a meticulously crafted symphony of beats and synthesized melodies. Crafted in the legendary Batusim Studio Oberwart, this collection is a testament to a relentless pursuit of sonic perfection, inviting us to a world where the rhythm is endless and every breakdown tells a story. For the uninitiated, Cohuna Beatz serves as the perfect introduction to Bogendorfer's rich musical legacy, while long-time followers will find it a refreshing addition to their auditory arsenal. It's an album that bridges generations, inviting everyone to bask in the glow of its universal groove. Let the needle drop, and immerse in the deep, organic rhythms of Cohuna Beatz – a journey through underground dance music and the very soul of its creator. Dive in!

Tag

I got tagged by @myucornerorg  ! So I’m gonna answer the 21 questions.^^

Nickname: My name is Vanessa and most people call me Vani. On the internet I’m called Cat, but I also had several other nicknames. I use the alias Sailor Cat, because one day I wondered what my Sailor Senshi name would be. I love cats so much, so I soon found the name “Sailor Cat”.

Star Sign: I’m a Gemini, like Taiki. So my planet is Mercury, which is great, cause Sailor Mercury is my favourite Senshi!^^

Height: 1,52 m (I don’t know it in feet)

Last film I saw: I think it was Princess Mononoke. I love Studio Ghibli and Mononoke is one of their best films! So I decided to watch it once more on DVD. I don’t watch many movies at the moment, I mostly watch YouTube. But I want to change this and watch more anime.

Favorite musician: I don’t really have one, since I care about the songs and not that mich about the band/singer. But here’s some singers/ bands I really like:

-BRADIO: A Japanese band which you might know from the intro of Death Parade. They make very “funky” songs that makes you feel happy and wanna dance.

-ANZA: My hero! I love her so much, she’s my favourite Sailor Moon! And her singing is so gorgeous! But I don’t know that many songs by her.

-Other Japanese bands: Kalafina, One ok Rock, Babymetal, Snuper (okay, they’re Korean)

-German folk rock bands such as Saltatio Mortis, Faun or Santiano.

-Vocaloid & anime songs in general

Song Stuck In My Head: It switches between “Sky of Jewels” from Le Mouvement Final and “You look like a girl” from boyinaband. xD

Other Blogs: @meine-anime-welt (Anime stuff); @myfavouritedisneystuff and “Proud to be ace” (about asexual pride) https://www.tumblr.com/blog/proud-tobe-ace

Do I Get Asks: Never, my blog is really unknown. xD But I don’t post stuff really often and when I do it’s just reposts.

Blogs following: 104 xD Wow, this is a lot. But as I said, I don’t use tumblr that often. But I like coming back and scrolling through.

What I’m Wearing: A simple blue jeans, a shirt with a dog on it (white, gray & blue) and a blue jacket. Nothing special, but I hardly ever wear “fancy” clothes. xD

Dream job: To be an author. I don’t know if it’ll ever work, but I want to publish at least one book someday!

Dream Trip: Japan! I don’t wanna life there for years, but I definitely want to visit it. I also want to go to Disneyland. xD

Play any instruments: No. I tried keyboard once, but I can’t play it. But I sing a lot.

Languages: My mother tongue is German. (I also speak a funny German dialect calles Bavarian xD But of course also standard German). I’ve been learning English for over 10 years now. (Okay, we started in elementary school and we didn’t learn so much there.) I also had French class in school for 7 years, but it’s way more difficult for me than English. I think it’s because I hear English all the time. (Music, English youtubers...) I also started to learn Japanese on my own. I know the basics and I have Japanese class at university since this year.^^

Favorite foods: Pizza and Spaghetti xD

Random facts:

.My patronus is a Siberian cat and I’m a proud Hufflepuff!^^

I started watching Sailor Moon because I randomly found a music video of a German Sailor Moon song. I would listen to these songs everyday before I had even watched a single episide xD

I’m asexual, so I don’t expierience sexual attraction towards any gender.

My favourite Sailor Moon season is S and my favourite Sera Myu is Eien Densetsu. I love all of the Sailor Moon versions the same.^^

I run a German youtube channel about Sailor Moon.

My favourite Pokémon is Absol.

Favorite songs:

Waaaay too much! I think I’ll just mention songs from specific categories:

- Sera Myu Song: LINK

- Sailor Moon Song: Moonlight Densetsu

- Anime song (without Sailor Moon): “Flyers” from Death Parade

- Vocaloid Song: “Echo” by GUMI

There are sooo much more, but I could list thousands of songs.

ANZAS Studio by Tsutsumi and Associates

Looking at dance studios I fell upon this project in Bejing that creates a particular fog like visual effect on the mirrors used in the studio, that’s pretty cool as an idea

HiGGS GAINING MOMENTUM

Hi, Trippin’ Higgs Peeps!

 Hope you are all having a great time loving and doing what you do! I’m out here doing what I do and I’m loving it! On the wide open road astride the white horse Lydia for another run of brain electrified memorable performances with my friends and great band The HiGGS. Off to adult Disneyland and beyond!

 My day started mellow. I was well organized (or so I thought), well planned and up on time. I loaded a bowl, or actually it was the car I loaded first! LOL! Then after a responsible bit of time, I left on my 3 day odyssey into HiGGSPACE!

 FUCK! I forgot my phone! My wallet was in my front pocket and it felt like my phone. I normally carry my wallet in my hippy bag. I should have checked it and I’m to blame for the “duh” moment. It was a classic 420 moment. Now the drive back to my Anza abode would have me off to a late start! I got up early and got my shit in order and left to meet Garrett completely on time! How did I do this, I’m going to be late? Damn it! (I may have an idea, cough-cough) LOL!

 After much bull-fuckery I made it to The HiGGS Lydia launching port and regrettably being 1 hour late. Sucks running late! Makes you have to re-arrange plans! I didn’t get to munch my lunch grubs and now I’m hungry! There was no time for it. So I didn’t get to eat! So I was grumble-hunger faced for hours. Thankfully I did eat breakfast at home.

 To my surprise a gift from our good spirits! Lydia’s A/C’s repaired! YAY! But it’s a bittersweet victory, figures as the summer is coming to an end that it gets fixed. We suffered through the Time Keeper Tour this summer using a portable fan (don’t mess with the fan) our source of comfort; and fart relief. Ain't that a bitch, but it’s working now! Now the band is so glad to have some cold air! (Especially Jesse) Nice to see the band taking care of the road-ship they all rely on. This HiGGS life isn’t cheap!

 Big things happening in the HiGGS UNIVERSE.

 Along the everlasting asphalt road, traveling to the destination, I have learned that the band has moved up another notch. They now have a road manager who will be handling road planning, travel details and such. I also learned that The Higgs plan on mixing their new double live album in the studio this coming October; so expect some great new jams recorded and released soon.  I’m really super excited! What interesting times it will be. Me being a super fan fly on the wall, it will be fascinating getting to see the mixing process myself. Never have I been in a professional studio session, either playing or observing; it should prove most interesting. I’ll try to snap some photos if I can and hopefully you can experience it all right along with the band and myself.

 Hours driving have passed quickly listening to John and Jesse talk. Their tales and stories are fucking hilarious; I could listen to these two carry on about so much shit forever. They are a fun duo to listen to interact with and their style of wisdom and entertainment is priceless and endless. Several hours will go by in a flash without much boredom. It really makes the time seamless, we arrive in no time to Dream Land, Las Vegas, Nevada.

 The Sand Dollar Lounge.

 We arrive after sunset and the streets are not overly crowded, after all it’s a Thursday evening and it’s early. The weather is seasonably nice yet the gamblers are all in the belly of the beast; testing their pockets fate. Milling around giving money to the gambling addicted dependency of this town. Where are all the lounge lizards? Gambling! This is a town of bright neon lights, sin and of course beautiful women, it’s monumental but lacks soul. Like vampires these drunken risk takers stroll the casinos nightly. I seriously wonder about this swaggering town and the endless action that runs far into the rising mornings sun lit busted beams; money dreams that never end. Like a round-a-bout (look honey Big Ben/Parliament) it’s psychotic and the mind just keeps being fed artificially with stimulation and insane temptation. I can’t easily understand it. It’s more than I could ever conceive rationally; this desire to dwell in a snake-pit like Vegas. It’s confusing to the senses and the amounts of scratch and broken dreams that are being exchanged and played out is just mind-blowing.

 But, it is a Mecca for the music and entertainment industry! So, The HiGGS venture into the lair of the beast, into the flashing electric hyper-drive of our nation. To deliver yet another mind blowing performance.

 Arriving at the venue the band gets into action and starts the set up for the night’s events. Billy Sunday who arrived earlier in the day was already there setting up his hi-tech light rig, flashers, fog machine and his usual self. Lighting is so critical to The HiGGS awesome experience; according to the members of the HiGGS. With or without professional stage lighting this band is excellent in my opinion. Adding the art of painting air into artful music color around them is something I do really enjoy. But I stand firm! It’s the music that brings me overwhelming joy, it’s the true reason I’m a supporter of this band. Their music means everything to me. Billy’s lights are totally SICK though.

 The Sand Dollar show was great as expected, with lots and lots of great music even though attendance was lower than expected. Not that the venue was empty, but it wasn’t packed. But even so, many of the fans of this band were in the lounge expecting to be amazed. Also, several people who approached me were not aware that The HiGGS were coming to town? The venue failed to advertise it. The venue seemed to drop the ball slightly lacking promotion of the night’s music. Still as the night progressed the house attendance did increase. The music that evening was packed with surprises! Those that attended received a great entertaining show. John, Jesse, Garrett and David delivered the goods! Attendance never wavers the efforts of this band of musicians. It’s about the brew they create on stage and becoming one with melody and harmony. There was a definite tribal dance party happening on the floor. The jams were the shit and I really enjoyed myself.

 The show was 3 sets and went Late Night!

 Conversations between the musicians playing was in full swing completing the round table of brotherhood and love these musicians have deeply for each other and the music they create together.

 Excellent sets!

Beijing based architects, Tsutsumi and Associates have completed ANZAS Dance Studio in Beijing with mirrored walls covered in tiny graduated dots to create the illusion of mist in the air. Curves in the apex of each corner further blur the perceived boundaries of the room.
