Being the home base of AKA AKA & Thalstroem, Burlesque Musique has established itself as a creative platform introducing talented newcomers like umami or Joachim Pastor since more than six years now. Without any boundaries in mind and heart, they’re not just looking for catchy melodies or the next dance floor hymn, the Berlin label still keeping its eyes open for strong characters.

The two Mannheim-based artists Ohmyboy & Wöllstein might fit into the latter category, but calling them newcomers would be slightly out of place. Especially because Ohmyboy is just another project of 28-year-old multi-talent Niels Reinhard, who received numerous prizes for his work as a motion graphic designer and cutter, doing both shooting short movies as well as producing dance tracks between synth-pop, electro and techno. With the singer Wöllstein, he already teamed up in some of his previous works, but it’s their first appearance as Ohmyboy & Wöllstein.

„Fuck Privacy“ is a remarkable statement that addresses the tension between transparency and privacy. Where’s the line between security and private life, who’s authentic within social media and what does love got do with it? The duo evokes several questions while the minimal tech-house gem is unfolding its infectious groove with a prancing bass line and Wöllstein’s insistent voice. „Fuck Privacy“ is somehow both: subtle sarcasm as well as an emphatic warning. This kind of thoughtful hedonism is pretty rare and really impressive! With their remix, label mates umami are following a way more stringent path, but away from the rattling claps, it’s the robot-like vocal shreds with which the Berlin duo is also commenting on today’s digital age.
