After a few 12" releases on Kompakt, Sportclub and Spielzeug it was time for Axel Bartsch to produce his first soloalbum. Axel Bartsch was searching for a suitable record label wich put him in the position to produce his album even-handed and without any ulterior motives of a top selling 12" record. For Axel Bartsch it solely was essential to have the best possible artistic conditions for his album production and Karmarouge gave him the oppurtunity to do it his way. As many brilliant ideas he took the final decision to name his album on the loo while reading an interview about Michael Mayers last album release. Axel Bartschs idea for the album titel comes out of his passion about music, because music is like kissing, highly emotional and sensual, the feeling of approaching lips...KISS...like kissed by music. 01. Intro Axel Bartsch was simply in the mood to have an intro on his album, this gave him the possibility to space out into ambient. This might happen again, space is the place... 02. You won’t fall (Dub version) 'You won't fall' was born out of the wish to produce a track with vocal samples. For Axel Bartsch it was a challange and it took him quite some time until he found the right vocalist. By chance he found on mySpace the female artist Hayes from Hong Kong who has the talent to create a certain sound with her voice. Fascinated by this kind of performance Axel Bartsch spontaneously started to experiment with these sounds. Beside the album dub version Axel produced a classic vocal version wich will be released on the french imprint Infine. 03. Am Mauerpark ...came out of the illusion of a jamming session in a park in the summertime in wich one musician with a bongo groove starts and other musicians join this session. This can be seen in the summertimes in the Mauerpark in Berlin. 04. Mystique Mystique is the essential track to reflect the artisitc freedom wich Axel Bartsch had in mind when he started the album production. This kind of downbeat track is not supposed to present the regular 12" format but is rather inspired by the kind of music Axel loves to listen to at home or while traveling, for example the sound of Tom York. 05. Pannebar Inspired by the unique atmosphere of Berlins Panorama Bar, Axel Bartsch produced this track before his gig there in June 2007. While producing music every time Axel is thinking about this place, the crowd and the typical Panorama Bar sound. 06. Coppa 'Coppa' is without any doubt a classical techno tune. Ip
