Sunshine Enterprises proudly presents the 1st 12" from of the soon appearing Longplayer.
TettoryBad are Japan's Masaya Fantasista & Grooveman Spot (aka Tettory BLK) plus London's Simbad! As they Unite, they created TettoryBad to record an outstanding album.
Released only in Japan 2008, Sunshine Enterprises is proud to get the chance to release this wonderful gem worldwide.
This is a first tastemaker to the upcoming album, feat. two true highlights: "Don't push me" feat. Londons finest MC, the man TY, known for his albums on Big Dada Records as well as for some fine features and collaborations. On the B-side there Ìs the mighty title track of the album, "Unite", feat. the vocal talents of latest sensation, Fatimas. This track was already licensed to Karen P. Ìs compilation “Broadcasting", out on Sonar Kollektiv 2008.
As for this album Tokyo and London Unite, we added a third city into the game – our hometown Vienna! Welcome to some of our most talented beat-makers: Upcoming sensation The Clonious (yes his album is forthcoming on Ubiquity Records) remixes "Don't push me" adding his magic touch. DJ Buzz of Waxolutionists fame (new Waxos album out now on Sunshine!) teams up with Supercity team-players Twintowas, to create a monster remix of the title track “Unite".
To round up that outstanding package, we have included two more original songs take from the album, the great "Short Love Tale", feat. the vocal talents of Young Gun, Mika Arisaka & Yuri, and also "Space Connection" feat. B-BanDJ. Expect another outstanding release of the Sunshine Enterprises camp out of Vienna!

As Tettory BLKand Simbad Unite for one special project, they created TettoryBad!
Twice upon two times, there were ... okay, okay no fairy tales now. This is JSBL and this is an introduction of their Debut EP "twice upon two times". The abbreviation JSBL is neither a four-letter-word that can be looked up in dictionaries, nor the pin code to a secret bank account on the Cayman Islands. Jacob's Salty & Bamboozling Ladder is a musical experience of the next dimension.
Jacob's ladder represents a path to heaven that takes it down a road to never- ending musical evolution. Disregarding the religious connotation, it's the symbolic character of this funky ladder that counts. Speaking of Funk, this ladder is a bit salty too. Because the way up is obviously hard, it gets you well sweaty. Bamboozling, on the other hand, is characteristic of the band's ability to surprise and reinvent. Regardless whether the outcome is spontaneous or composed.
Opener "The Flu" is great listening material with the potential to make you dance your shoes off. The best pair even! On the other hand "Der Mann mit den Schwankungen" ("The Man with the Fluctuations"), is a track that slowly but surely evolves into a monumental Jazz-rock hybrid.
Next is "Jimbo", a razor-sharp, uptempo, instrumental broken power load with a mind-blowing key solo. This guy must feel like he's on an infinite roller coaster ride on the JSBL claviature.
"Rekindle of the Libido" is a story, listen to it and you will partake in a musical journey that starts off with a Contemporary Flow Bop and ends in a dramatic Cyberfunk Orgy. Thematically not far away is "Fooled by Needs". A gigantic bassline interacts with synth, drums and guitar to produce acoustic pleasure of the third kind. Full spectrum annihilation!
Weird psychedelic 70s atmosphere is what best describes "Parental Square '79". This bizarre sneaker brings "Twice Upon Two Times" to a gentle close. Gentle and a little bamboozled.
ABOUT JSBL
The abbreviation JSBL is neither a four-letter-word that can be looked up in dictionaries, nor the pin code to a secret bank account on the Cayman Islands. Jacob's Salty & Bamboozling Ladder is a musical experience of the next dimension.
The Jacob's ladder represents the way to heaven, that is a never-ending musical development. Sparing the religious connotation, it's simply the symbolic character of this funky ladder that counts. Speaking of Funk, this ladder is a bit salty too- obviously the way up is hard and gets you well sweaty. Bamboozling, on the other hand, is characteristic of the band's ability to surprise and reinvent. Regardless of the outcome being spontaneos or composed.
Jacob's Salty & Bamboozling Ladder are specialists for a certain serious unseriosity, sticking Donald Trump, Michael Jackson and Brigitte Bardot in a room, letting them get drunk together. What counts is that JSBL's juicy orange beats, minty green low ends and yummy purple middles provoke a certain spiciness that rushes through the body. This musical output culminates in their refreshingly unpretentious live performances- and the first release "twice upon two times" at JSBL's home label Affine Records.
Jacob's Salty & Bamboozling Ladder are:
Clemens Bacher aka Cid Rim (drums)
Oliver Johnson aka Dorian Concept (keys and synths)
Paul Movahedi aka The Clonious (guitar and samples)
Willi Rosner (fretless bass, low end manipulation)
