In a recent e-mail from Aardvark Records I read the words: "we feel that our artist 'Staedler and Waldorf's' groundbreaking, obscure and unique sound, paired with their 'out there' and artistic image, would be well suited to a feature on your site."
Sometimes people write things like this and they are dead wrong...their style is not a match for my site. But this time, the match is there and it ignited a spark that inspired this blog post.
Staedler and Waldorf is a beautiful mixture of sounds: sometimes poppy, sometimes powerfully Drum and Bass, sometimes Electronica. A thread of jungle sounds and classic beats runs through the tracks, all composed and fine-tuned by Steve Jones and Paul Smith. Female vocalist, Lacey Chaiff leads the trio.
If you like a dance club sound from the UK or you've ever enjoyed tunes from Luscious Jackson, Meat Beat Manifesto or Republica, you'll like the heavy-hitting bass with a "gotta dance" sound. Great for rocking out and invigorating your mind and body.
DJ ZYLEM (UK) has this to say about Staedler and Waldorf: "Slick breakbeat / jungle production matched with classy female vocals, this will surely be a hit with D&B dj's and clubbers across the land."
Staedler and Waldorf originally released “Mode in Mind” in early June 2008, accompanied by a promo video (see below or on YouTube).
The time has come for Aardvark Records to re-launch the "No Way Home" album by Staedler and Waldorf. Maybe they were ahead of their time when they originally released in 2008. Someone believes that it's time for this music to be heard. If you're ready to experience it now, you can click on the player below, or go here.
“No Way Home” features 13 tracks that don't stagnate or merge into one sound. It's a journey to please from start to finish. With Staedler & Waldorf it’s not about being cool. It’s about knowing what you want to do – and then doing it. “No Way Home” will be re-released on October 30, 2010.

Oh my god I loved seeing Naked Raygun live. In a sense I was spoiled because L.A. crowds never caught on to the power of this awesome Chicago sound. So, when I saw them I was as close to the stage as possible with no more than 50 people in the club. But every damn one of them was whipped into a frenzy by the time the night was over. You can't stand still or keep quiet at a Naked Raygun show.

When you think about it, every musical act you know of is using the Master Mind principle whether they realize it or not. They are joining together as a team with a combined vision. You can use the same principle and make some truly rockin' things happen in your life.

There's nothing cool about holding back.
I Am Not a Robot by Marina and the Diamonds Lyrics
You've been acting awful tough lately
Smoking a lot of cigarettes lately
But inside, you're just a little baby
It's okay to say you've got a weak spot
You don't always have to be on top
Better to be hated than love, love, loved for what you're not
You're vulnerable, you're vulnerable
You are not a robot
You're loveable, so loveable
But you're just troubled
Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot
Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot
You've been hanging with the unloved kids
Who you never really liked and you never trusted
But you are so magnetic, you pick up all the pins
Never committing to anything
You don't pick up the phone when it ring, ring, rings
Don't be so pathetic, just open up and sing
I'm vulnerable, I'm vulnerable
I am not a robot
You're loveable, so loveable
But you're just troubled
Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot
Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot
Can you teach me how to feel real?
Can you turn my power on?
Well, let the drum beat drop
Guess what? I'm not a robot
Guess what? I'm not a robot
Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot
Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot
Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot
Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot
