Happy (belated) Halloween,

It is a fun hysterical comic-like zombie film in four parts, 1 & 2 you can watch now on the youtube channel “the station” - which is something like a new tv channel for the internet, run by nine youtube kids, among them some of the most successful youtubers of today. Most of them are featured in the film.

Part 3 & 4 will be launched a week later.

We are proud to play our part in this: All music is by Urban Delights & friends - it’s all family: The Gogogos, Harry K., Magnetic Empire and some score music by me and some more friends..

And the best: There is a soundtrack available! Worldwide on iTunes. There should be a music player visible below, sit back and have a listen.

One more thing - you can help us very much by spreading the news! Forward this newsletter, post the video on facebook, twitter, do a zombie dance in public, show it to your mom, you know what to do. And leave some comments on Youtube about how great the music is :)

I Make Music In My Sleep - The Viva Con Agua Compilation

11 FRIENDS FOR VIVA CON AGUA!

We are proud to support a young charity organisation from Hamburg/ St Pauli with music from us and our friends: Viva Con Agua (VcA)

11 musicians and bands contribute their songs for a compilation - this number suits the football-history of VcA connected to the legendary Hamburg club FC St Pauli. Viva Con Agua is a young charity organisation located in St. Pauli/Hamburg campaigning for clean drinking water worldwide. The unconventional water initiative has a special affinity to the sub-cultural and music youth culture in Germany, with supporters organizing concerts, parties, fashion shows, football matches, marathons, exhibitions,  massages - yes even massages.

One of us (“The German”) travelled to Ethiopia with them, became friends with the group and the idea of supporting their efforts was born. The cover picture shows an Ethiopian round house in which the travel group slept for a night, after an unforgettable ceremony for new drinking wells. Five drilled wells were constructed in the millennium village of Sodo.

RELEASE TOMORROW (25.09.2009) - we’ll celebrate this with a block party on the legendary Reeperbahn in Hamburg, together with Viva Con Agua. Many artists from the compilation will perform or dj, starting at 19h, check out more infos here and on Facebook.

Spring Town - Acoustic Delights EP

Ooh lala - URBAN DELIGHTS NAKED!

The style clash monster stripped down to the bones: We always wondered what an acoustic version of us would sound like. MTV Unplugged without the MTV.
The fourth EP “SPRING TOWN - ACOUSTIC DELIGHTS” is the perfect record for the morning after the rave: Four acoustic versions of the past, present and future of Urban Delights. Chilled out and folky, but nevertheless funky & hypnotic.

SPRING TOWN - why not release a cover version before the original? The steel string guitar replace the string loop that the album version is built around, and we were surprised how great this song feels without any electric strings attached. It is always interesting to find out what you can leave out instead of adding layers..

WEEKEND LOVERS - an upcoming single to be, this song works so well with so little. A José González inspired nylon guitar replaces all the electronics and indie rock sounds, plus one chilled vocal. Less is more. A singer songwriter version of a strong song about nightlife, sex & passion of a party weekend: “Just for a night your life seems so far away..”

BREAK IT ALL DOWN - the originial has been released on the first EP and was a part of the infamous “Urban Delights vs Bikinirama” video project that created some surprising internet buzz. Here we tear the original apart and make a new bluesy start. Our favourite quote about the video so far: “An anarchist’s wet dream” haha..

ROCK ‘N’ ROLL STAR - An Urban Delights Classic revisited - the funky dancefloor filler gets a minimal acoustic treatment. The party song about the inner confusion of a struggeling rock ‘n’ roll superstar is transformed into a darker Curtis Mayfield inspired soulful world. With just an acoustic guitar and a beautiful cello (thx hagen), whispering instead of shouting - compare to the original. Alternatively visit iTunes, Amazon, Musicload or Finetunes

Last but not least: “Art Inspired By Music” - This EP’s artwork is by Mittenimwald, a Hamburg based artist that interpreted “Spring Town” with a stunning combination of stencil & indian ink. We are big fans, his work is amazing.. Don’t forget to visit his blog or website, he’s currently exhibiting some of his art at the “Gängeviertel” in Hamburg. Watch out for this guy, he’ll be big soon!

Stay tuned,

HK & MH
