Some­times a musi­cal part­ner­ship is formed, where high qual­ity for­ward think­ing out­put is almost guar­an­teed, due to the sheer tal­ent and expe­ri­ence of its 2 mem­bers. The part­ner­ship then of DJ Fric­tion (of the hugely pop­u­lar Ger­man band Fre­un­deskreis), and DJ Thomilla (the well known Hip-Hop DJ and Pro­ducer, also one half of Turntable­rocker with Michi Beck) was a cer­ti­fied, tried and tested win­ning com­bi­na­tion. After much suc­cess indi­vid­u­ally, and even­tual tour­ing together with their var­i­ous dif­fer­ent projects, the pair got together as a DJ dou­ble act, and so ‚Body­movin‘ was born.

Of course the nat­ural pro­gres­sion after the duo‘s riotous DJ tour­ing was to ded­i­cate time in the stu­dio together. The first results of these ses­sions could be heard on their first sin­gle ‚Good Time‘, which kicked things off for the newly founded ‚We Love This‘ label, fol­lowed by ‚Every­body‘ on Moon­boo­tique. Now we are greeted with a full length, self-titled artist album that mixes superbly pro­duced, ener­getic electro-disco-house jams with catchy, nu-pop sen­ti­ments, stretched over 12 glo­ri­ous tracks; Moonboutique‘s third CD for­mat release.

The album is richly dec­o­rated with lov­ingly played ana­logue synth vibes, funked-out basslines, irre­sistible vocal hooks and an unend­ing sup­ply of tight, club-friendly beats. All this is tied together by sub­tle, lov­ingly sequenced arrange­ments that lock the lis­tener in, yet sur­prise them with a con­stant for­ward mov­ing energy that presents raw musi­cal ideas in a more digestible con­text. This is a real amal­gam of mod­ern elec­tronic, effort­lessly appeal­ing to fans across the spectrum.

There are 12 tracks fea­tured here, each with their own voice, mode and vision — they are all irre­sistible, essen­tial cuts — and its clear to hear the high qual­ity, instinc­tive song-writing skills of the duo right from the intro­duc­tion bars of ‚Yeah!‘. Meld­ing elec­tronic disco, mod­ern dance­floor beats and ultra-catchy synth-lines a-plenty, tracks like their sin­gle hits ‚Good Time‘ or ‚Every­body‘,  ‚In & Out‘ or their trade­mark ‚B.O.D.Y.M.O.V.I.N‘ shake the sys­tem upside down.…

Dis­tinc synth-pop-meets-disco moments are dis­played with the uplift­ing ‚It Wasn‘t Calf‘ or the sub­tle ‚Freak‘, while more dance­floor jams roll out with a cer­tain min­i­mal exte­rior, like ‚Sureshot‘ or the album‘s epi­logue that is ‚Get Down‘. In-between we are even treated to a cou­ple of sweetly-slowed num­bers like ‚Hold Back‘ or ‚More & More‘ that remind us of Fric­tion and Thomilla‘s un-ending musi­cal­ity, and dis­tin­guished song-writing skills.…!

Its a remark­ably accom­plished album lit­er­ally burst­ing at the seams with fresh musi­cal ideas, catchy, pre­sent­ing unfor­get­table hooks and up-front dance­floor energy together with true song-writing and a classy, unmis­tak­ably pro­fes­sional sound. Wel­come to the space-disco-tech-house-song-writing world of Bodymovin!!
