   About Kalabrese

if you looking for love dont follow me, we got this house under arrest. and we will set it on fire.


Kalabrese is one of the more glittering characters in Zurichs music scene and mingling at the frontline as dj, producer and as club owner. Through his very own style as a producer he caused a stir outside of Switzerland. Kalabrese Debut Album "Rumpelzirkus"is a great piece of music. It rumbles and works the funk organically and song oriented and recevied good reviews in the independent dance-scene all around the world. For the last two years, Kalabrese and his Rumpelorchestra toured through clubs and festivals (e.g. Sonar 08 and Mutek 07, transmediale berlin, electrowave florence, bukarest) all around the world. At the moment, Kalabrese focusse in the album production and is on the road for some dj gigs. He did some remixes for artists and labels like; tosca, crosstown rebels, dOP, drumpoet community, filewhile, luke solomon and the excellent "elleli" witch was licensed for the famous house label innervision and found his way in many many dj-cases and charts.

Check
Der mit roter Farbe beschmierte Mann auf dem Cover ist kein blutrünstiger Massenmörder, sondern Kalabrese aus Zürich, und dass der uns nur Gutes will, wird gleich bei den ersten Tönen von „Rumpelzirkus" klar. Denn da fühlt man sich gleich von Anfang an wohl, der Groove schnappt sich zuerst den Großen Zeh, der wippt mit und noch bevor Kalabrese mit ursympathischen Texten mit Schweizer Färbung punkten kann, ist der Rest des Körpers auch schon am schwingen. Und das geht so weiter, jedes der elf Stücke auf „Rumpelzirkus“ ist ein Treffer, ob es jetzt der klassische Clubtrack ist wie z.B. „Not The Same Shoes" mit Kate Wax als Gast an der Stimme oder Tracks, die rüberkommen wie eine tolle Jam-Session im Club um die Ecke, den es nur in den eigenen Wunschvorstellungen gibt, wie z. B. „Deep" oder „Auf Dem Hof". Kalabrese weiß offensichtlich genau, was er macht. Sein Können spielt er aus und nutzt es als Freiraum für viel Verspieltheit. Dieses Rumspielen ist einfach extrem ansteckend, man will beim Hören von diesem Album tanzen, albern sein und auf Coolness spucken. Dieses Album will man zum Essen mit Freunden hören, im Auto auf dem Weg in den Club und dann auch dort die Freude raus lassen und sie zu teilen. Musikalisch gesehen bewegt sich „Rumpelzirkus" irgendwo zwischen zeitgemäß und zeitlos, zwischen Funk und House, zwischen Ballade und Clubhymne. Vieles auf diesem Album hat handgemachten Charakter, womit aber auf keinen Fall Dilletantismus gemeint ist – sondern eher Charakter. Wenn bei „Hou Anthem" am offenen Fenster die Polizei vorbeifährt oder es bei „Auf dem Hof" im Hintergrund irgendwo so klingt, als hätte jemand eine hängengeblieben Kopie von „Carwash" aufliegen, fügt sich das schön in den Rumpelzirkus ein und hat Anteil an dem, was dieses Album so besonders macht. Das sehr gelungene „Hafenlied" zeigt, was es ausmacht, wenn ein Track mal eben nicht so instrumentiert und produziert ist, wie es gerade alle machen. Die Grooves von Kalabrese gehen irgendwie tiefer als der Durchschnitt, das ausgelöste Glücksgefühl strahlt in den Tag hinein. Auf dem Technofloor findet dieses Album nicht unbedingt statt, vielleicht noch am ehesten mit „Not The Same Shoes", dafür aber im Houseclub um so mehr, zum Aufbau, zur Peaktime und zum Runterkommen. Vergleiche mit anderen Produzenten wären hier fehl am Platz. Dieses Album hat viel Eigenes, gleichzeitig kann man die Stücke gefühlsmäßig mit all dem messen, was uns über Jahre ans Herz gewachsen ist. Truely Felt Housemusic eben. Wenn House im Jahr 2007 so kommt wie dieses Album, können wir glücklich sein. La Suisse: Douze Points! (Album-Review, Groove-Magazin, Achim Brandenburg)

Check
a month ago or so, I threw something up about this album on Riff Market, something to the extent of Zurich's Kalabrese being 2007's Jamiroquai, something about his debut Rumpelzirkus LP being a gateway into the smooths: smooth jazz, smooth talking, smooth love. Call me flip but I really think I was dead-on. There's something really sultry to Rumpelzirkus, not unlike Herbert/Siciliano productions, and in general the understated ‘70s Wurlitzer jazz-funk feel reminds me of Grover Washington Jr., how a track like "Mr. Magic" can get you really hot but never actually make you sweat. The groove is the thing here, and when Kalabrese finds one he really lets it linger, never feels pressure to build it up or break it down too quickly. He's curiously patient, in a way that reminds you that Kalabrese shares his name with Calabrese, the black grape behind Sicilian wines. That reminds you that you didn't even have to look this up, that you know about this because you're older and mellower and wine's been your drug of choice for a year now. What I'm pained to say, basically is that Rumpelzirkus is a little bit A.O., and certainly won't destroy you like a good club track, and you have to prepare yourself to be easy here. You have to be OK with that. Then again: This isn't the most straightforward feel-good LP out there at all. Every track has at least something askew: The digital drum stutters and the Jamaican dude saying crazy things about divine consciousness in "Oisi Zuekunft," an otherwise sparse keyboard / bass / snarerim click number with slick horn stabs; the ghostly vocal treatments and squelchy synths that end up making the choked acoustic guitar strums in "Deep" seem like the oddball; the growls of muted trumpet and fingersnapping metronome and electric xylophone patterns that make a low-key bass-and-drum groove about Kalabrese falling out of a deskchair seem like a serious mishap. Herbert again is a good touchstone: Kalabrese uses off-kilter sounds to create space and discomfort in otherwise plain compositions, but Kalabrese's much funkier and sloppier and funnier than Herbert, which makes me think of George Clinton. Beyond the Clintonesque ad-libs ("I'm a chicken!"; "It's a big circus, and everybody is just freaking out"; etc.) it's also like Kalabrese just to let the tape roll for "Auf Dem Hof" and let the groove build organically, instruments added and subtracted, let the song snowball into something massive and rickety and about to explode at any second. The live drums and horns and bass and keyboard are a pretty fantastic touch to every track, definitely K's cap's feather, what really make this album's best grooves pop. I'm less taken than others by his songier outings, such as sunburnt and possibly too smooth downtempo number "Hide," or the probable Dave Matthews cover "Body Tight," or the mopey, mostly acoustic ballad "Heartbreak Hotel" ("I'm a prisoner in my own heartbreak hotel..."), but they're not entirely unlistenable, especially if you like Dave Matthews. If anything my biggest reservation is that this album really feels long, that there are sometimes swaths of tracks that don't seem to go anywhere at all and could just be done away with—which, then again, seems to misunderstand the album's charm in the first place. (Review, Nick Silvester, Stylus Mag, US)
