The Glitz (Daniel Nitsch and Andreas Henneberg) present their debut full-length album, No Drama, the result of two years of studio work. Since 2003, Nitsch and Henneberg have been running their label Voltage Musique Records with Markus Hille and traveling around the world with their respective solo projects; these engagements, combined with the distance between their homes (one lives in Rostock, one in Berlin) have limited the time available for studio work. This is still "no drama" for the boys; in fact, they benefit from the distance and always bring new ideas and creativity to their meetings. In other words, the title No Drama can be taken as their attitude toward life. A north German laid-back attitude meets rascally Berlin cheeriness. Their disparate influences and musical backgrounds are probably the most important bricks in the foundation of their album's independent sound -- without losing the red thread one can find clear traces of downbeat, trip-hop, jazz, and funk next to club-friendly tracks. American singer and electronica songwriter i Am Halo is featured on two tracks, and the vocalist from Parasite Single lends her wonderfully charismatic voice to "Sugar to the Milk," weaving her way into the listener's ear alongside a groaning bassline. German rock singer and close friend Stefan Krogmann and internationally active pianist Johann Blanchard contribute to two more surprisingly different tracks. Some of the songs included here will be recognizable to those familiar with The Glitz's DJ sets -- they've been extensively tested in clubs and continuously refined. No Drama is an album thoroughly suitable for the club, and can also be excellently enjoyed while enjoying a cup of tea in your grandparents' living room.

With the remix compilation Selected Remixes, The Glitz go the logical step to compile their favorite remixes on a very special album. That this is more than a foretaste to the upcoming album is quickly understood if you know that both Glitzes have been the most active remixers during the last years. With their interpretations of songs by Italoboyz, Douglas Greed, The Hacker, Dapayak and Lee van Dowski, among others, they always seem to surprise effortlessly. Perhaps it is the ease and the breeze of functionality with which they make their way through the different genres. Always a little bit catchy. Always without distorting their own unique acoustic atlas. But presumably, it is just the sincere enjoyment of music. Other artists include: The Micronaut, Marcus Meinhardt, Dole & Kom, Mihalis Safras, Oliver Klein & Kolombo, and Marquez Ill.

The wild circus life is full of lucky encounters. Big and little stories make their rounds. The tale of the two circus musicians The Glitz has a special place in music memory. It is about the great Prima Ballerina. It's said that the great Russian "Prima Ballerina" was rejected by the flamboyant Bolshoi because of her amorous adventure with the two lads Dole & Kom. There are rumors that the 200- year-old "Prima Ballerina" is still traveling around with the Lula Circus.

This track is already in the boxes of Oliver Huntemann, Super Flu, Dubfire, Oxia, Stephan Bodzin and Sebastien Leger. A throbbing, minimal pounder with phased, percussive pulses and deconstructed, contrapuntal rhythms that will have you stalking geometrical patterns on the dancefloor.
