booka shade release their fourth artist album 'more!' in a joint venture between get physical music and cooperative music. regarded by many as the best live electronic act in the world, booka shade have enjoyed a meteoric rise since establishing themselves with their breakthrough album 'memento' in 2005. worldwide club hits such as 'body language', 'in the white rooms' and 'charlotte' followed, as well as their second album 'movements', which is regarded as one of the last decade's classic electronic albums. 5 years on and with the release of their fourth lp, the duo prove they are still hungry for more! "the album is called more!. more refined production, more multi-layered atmospheres, more emotion." explains arno kammermeier (one half of booka shade), "we wanted this album to be more energetic with strong grooves and of course the typical booka shade melodies and atmospheres that we love. the album takes you through every stage of the night out; the excitement before you go out, the party, the late, late night, a bit of paranoia.... and then the sunny morning of a new day." across the album, arno, and the other half of booka shade, walter merziger delve deeper than ever before, delivering what has to be their most dynamic and accomplished album to date, which is saying something for booka shade! for the first time on any of their albums they've collaborated with guest vocalists, sharing the limelight with electronic pioneers yello and get physical favourite chelonis r jones.
