Congratulations and big up to the incredible John Book! He was the first to get all the records right in our little competition, thereby winning the promised package of Beattown vinyls (Unison, Herwig & Alois and Every Town Is Beattown). And here's the correct list:

Mort Garson - Electronic Hair Pieces Yusef Lateef - The Golden Flute Herbie Hancock - Maiden Voyage The Crusaders - Chain Reaction James Brown - Revolution Of The Mind Stanley Turrentine - The Baddest Turrentine Quincy Jones - You've Got It Bad Girl Stevie Wonder - Fulfillingness' First Finale Various Artists - Soul Direction (Direction Records)

The first 500 copies of Every Town Is Beattown are gone, but new ones have already arrived - get your copies here. Due to continuing demand we also decided to press up 100 new Beattown02s without covers. Those will be the last though, so if you want 'em, catch 'em. We also received a few e-mails about number 01, but we're sorry to say it's not possible to repress those anymore. We will try to get ahold of some copies still lying around though...

On a different note, Herwig & Alois have now released the acapella track to their smashing single on the Soundpark-page. Feel free to download and remix (the tempo is 86,9508 BPM) and please send any results to us. Thank You! (Update: The first remix by DJ Schmolli hit our mailbox a few days ago and we really like the vibe. Sounds like H&A jammin' with The Roots somehow - check this out!)

Calling all the cratediggers: The first person to name the correct artists and titles of the records shown in the background of this Beattown ad and send them to us wins. First prize is a package of Beattown vinyls (Unison, Herwig & Alois and Every Town Is Beattown) and three runner ups receive a Völkl Snowboards video (with Beattown beats in the background) each. If nobody gets all nine records right, the prize goes to the contestant that took the most correct guesses. Hint: Said ad is also printed in the latest issue of The Message magazine... Good Luck! (Update: Competition is over, we have a winner.)

Since June 28th our new LP "Every Town Is Beattown" should be available in a recordstore near you or at online stores live soulseduction, where you can also listen to all the tracks. Combined with the unlimited possibilities of this internet thing, this finally enables us to ask you the question that's been bugging us for a while:

In other news, Unison now have a booking agent. So if you want to see one of their flamboyant live performances in a place near you go here.

As a soundtrack to all this, you can now listen to one side of DJ Crum's last mixtape "Mind The Gap!" online at play-fm.

Oh, and we still have that brand new guestbook for interaction of all kinds...

After some delays due to technical problems we are now proud to present to you: Herwig & Alois. The two Vienna winos, who decided to make their fortune rapping, blackmailed us into releasing their stuff, so here it goes. The selftitled debut hit single is our first 7" release and the first german rap track to come out on Beattown. It may also be the last though, since these two guys constantly fight over money, women and Stoli. You can see the cover here:
