[Special]: the29nov films TOP8 selected by Sebastian Kökow & Kevin Paschold

 

Notes:
In a few days the guys of the29nov will celebrate the 8th anniversary of their project(s).

Sebastian Kökow and Kevin Paschold, to give them a name :-), grew up both in a small town called Sonneberg which is famous for toy making. The town lies within in one of the most beautiful landscapes of Germany – Thuringia, but not much to do for young guys.

So they started a project called “the29nov” – organising events and playing music. Later the two school mates moved to the creative melting point Berlin to start making videos for techno tracks.

They became the very well-known duo “the29nov films” which is nowadays respected in the techno scene – from fans, artists and label owners. Besides creating videos Sebastian Kökow also tours as DJ spinning fine techno.

To celebrate their birthday we have this small special with their own favourite videos they created – each of them selected 8 tracks/videos.

[Special]: Warm Leatherette – A Song by Daniel Miller’s The Normal

 

Introduction:
This special is about a song… one with an important impact on the electronic music you know nowadays.

It’s about “Warm Leatherette” by The Normal. The Normal was a project by Daniel Miller used to release his single “T.V.O.D / Warm Leatherette”.

The lyrics of “Warm Leatherette” reference J.G. Ballard’s novel “Crash” (1973), the music can described as electronic Post-punk with industrial sounds.

The front cover shows a crash test dummys sitting behind the steering wheel of car, on the back side of the 7 inch he put his own address and the sentence “this is a mute record”.

Impressed by the do-it-yourself attitude of the Punk scene, he wanted to release it by himself and without a label. So Daniel Miller offered it to a few independent music shops, including Rough Trade in London, where it would be played to customers.

So the legendary label Mute Records was founded….

The track became a small underground hit and has been covered by numerous artists. So we show you some of these cover version … right after a fan video of the original track.
