hillberg an d-tex are back to work: after a few months of pausing (giorgio had to do some beauty op´s, skin tightening, a little bit of botox, bleeching, ya know, so it makes him look like 50 again) hillberg and d-tex are back on the job.
on march 24th they performed at wonderful TAM TAM tanzlokal in munich, where giorgio´s favourite director ridley scott made a wonderful live video.
along with it giorgio presents his favourite places in munich, a very rare and private insight into our super-diva´s past!
at this gig they by the way had a premiere of hillberg and d-tex new tune “that adriano track”, coming out probably in june!
Two new tunes freshly from the treasure chest of Hillberg and D-Tex. „Ultimate Warlord“ is our remake of our highly appreciated original by „The Immortals“ made in 1979, probably one of the or the very first „Italo“-House tracks ever made. We simply love it. And it would simply have been fun doing this remake if not… real Ultimate Warlords had started real wars not too far away from us, causing waves of refugees: In our video therefore we want to introduce some of them to you as our actors – Ammar and Mohamad – with whom in the meanwhile we have become real friends.
„Pavel Interstellar (Meeting Up With Miles Davis, Dave, Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich Talking About Jazz As a Concept, But Call This Tune in Short Pavel Interstellar as Radio Stations and Our Audience Might Freak Out Over the Full Title)“ however is a cheesy Electro Swing song about which we have little to say except that it has a nice groove. CU soon on the dancefloors! Hillberg and D-Tex
Release date: July 7th, 2016
yesterday our beloved and admired donna d´estate, also known as d-tex, became 104 years old! (she still looka like 21, though )
for thissa reason giorgio aka hillberg sent her/him a birthday postcard from hillberg and d-tex estate no. 12 in barbados:
alltogether the new e.p. will boast two great hillberg and d-tex songs:
– ultimate warlord; our humble dedication to this great italo-disco track from 1979;
– pavel interstellar´s incredible spaceflight to the stars where he met dave, dee, dozy, beaky, mick and tich when they smoked a cigar and listened to an old miles davis album
ehrm. yep… you might find the second song´s title abbreviated as “pavel interstellar´s…” as today´s music industry somehow has a very hostile approach towards creative song-titles. however…
however with these news hillberg and d-tex are stepping back into their business after this “mixed” last year 2015, when we were “muddled up” prety much by life. but now: give it up for the… music…:
Hillberg and D-Tex Feat. Gabriella Haenninen: Spin Me Round // FireMusic FM38, Release Date: November 17th, 2015:
Yes, a dream has come true! Hillberg and D-Tex are back with a new release… Actually it´s not that new, as „Dead or Alive“ did a similar song in ´84 – only sparsely similar. And it simply lacked something: Not musicwise, but… Pete Burns simply was lacking our „Giorgio´s“ wonderful moustache. So the tune was simply crying for a cover-version. Our singer, mysterious „Lady Who“ (aka Gabriella Haenninen) joined in as our perfect musical companion.
Along with „Spin Me Round“ we wanted to send you a pack of crunchy „Popcorn“: Nuff said; enjoy and dance!
“from city to city” – hillberg and d-tex new release on fire music rec., released on june 15th. solid funky 1970ies disco funk tune meets the 2010s. plus: the great remixes of our highly appreciated artists La Rochelle (A/ Etage Noir Rec.) and Kooky feat. Dr. Watson (Paper Rec./UK).
our second release came out on june 29th on famous berlin based label flash recordings: “LSD” – three great techhouse remixes of our tune “that hippie track” by maxime dangles /France, responder and tony vegazz (A).
hillberg “still alive”:
one incident hit and hurt us in may: hillberg aka “giorgio´s” visit at his doctor showed he had to undergo a bigger surgery in end of june.
so all went well and hillberg is bravely recovering. still: it forced us to cancel all planned and agreed gigs from june, july and including august – including such gigs as linz compilation at posthof linz / A or ruhr in love / germany on the technoton stage.
however, hillberg still will have to stay home for august, but we are working on some “comeback” gigs starting with september- stay tuned, we will keep you posted!
