+++ROTW+++ROTW+++ROTW+++ROTW+++ROTW+++ROTW+++ROTW+++ROTW+++ROTW+++ROTW
A new rubric from my side on this wonderful platform:
the recommendation of the week.
+++ROTW+++ROTW+++ROTW+++ROTW+++ROTW+++ROTW+++ROTW+++ROTW+++ROTW+++ROTW
My intention is trying to show you new music I found that I like and that you might like, too. Here it doesn't make a difference if the music I recommend is the latest release of some artist or just good music from some time ago. Neither it is bound to genres or styles.
Here we go.

Munich Machine (Disco/ Funk/ Electro)
Probably the most people, that have already heard of "Munich Machine", think of DJ Hell.
But here's where Hell got the name for his fabulous second album:
Munich Machine is a german funk and disco band, which existed in the late 70's from 1976 to 1979. Obviously, they came from Munich and were known to make a special type of disco-funk, so called spacefunk.
Interestingly enough, Munich Machine was a side project of legendary italian producer and composer Giorgio Moroder, who is responsible for unforgettable milestones in pop music, for example such as the comparatively electronical
"I Feel Love" or "Love To Love You, Baby" from disco legend Donna Summer.
He also made it possible that a californian DJ called Josh Davis, to the most better known as DJ Shadow, was able to gain worldwide attention with his "Organ Donor", which is heavily based on Moroder's song "Tears".
Munich Machine though standed out for mixing straight forward uptempo disco-funk with a few hardrock-guitar elements and synthesizer-samples, for example laser-gun noises, which made their music sound so outta space. Their speedy eclectic instrumental songs faced midtempo high vocal tracks and were all done for the floor to make the people shake. Especially the instrumental tracks remind more of electronic music in it's beginnings (though it wasn't really existing, yet) than of disco-funk. Listening to Munich Machine you'll might start to understand where Daft Punk got all their ideas from.
