Today, we are proud to announce the premier of the awesome video for Deckard‘s “Günesim” via Pulse Radio in the UK that is featuring Deniz Cagli on vocals and was directed by Ceylan-Alejandro Ataman-Checa.

Alongside the video you should read the cool interview where Deckard aka Attila Makai talks about a brand new music project, collaborations and more.

“Günesim”, a track off of Deckard’s new album “For A Better Tomorrow”, features the beautiful female voice of the Turkish singer Deniz Cagli. This is a cover version of a song featured in the German movie “Im Juli” (In July) by Fatih Akin where it is performed by the German-Turkish actor Idil Üner.

Lyrics:
güneşim ayım sana ışık olsun
sıcak kumum yoluna açık olsun
okşarım tenini rüzgarlarımla
susuz kaldı sularım dudaklarına

ah o gözlerin
arasın beni izlesin peşime düşsün
ah o dudakların
gelsin bulsun tatsin ve öpsün beni

al bulutlarım sana yatak olsun
yumuşacık sessizce üstünü örtsün
ateşim aşkına kıvılcım olsun
sonsuz yansın yüreğinde hayata doysun

As a special Silvester treat, we decided to release an exclusive remix of Ceschi’s song “Black And White And Red All Over” by Greek producer Andreikelos.

With this new version, Andreikelos provides us with a darker and more electronic perspective of the song, but still tries to maintain a portion of the romantic and melancholic feel of the original – DJ Scientist produced – version.

You can download the release for free via our bandcamp account:

More info about the release right here:

You can buy the vinyl via the following links:

More shoplinks will be added on the 16th.

Here are a few pictures of the vinyl – it sure looks good!

Thanks to Sara Krines for the pictures!

OFFICIAL LEFT FIELDS TRAILER from idunno on Vimeo.

Here is more info about the documentary:

Interviewing MCs, label operators, producers and bookers, “left fields” explores the network of genre-crossing artists such as Ceschi, Noah23, Babel Fishh, Th’ Mole, Gonjasufi, Robot Koch, Comfort Fit, Fulgeance, Oskar Ohlson, who collaborate within networks across Germany, Switzerland and Austria. So basically it is a lot about the spirit and maybe punk attitude of this movement.

Working with a very limited budget “left fields” tries to provide an insight into the alternative hip hop scene featuring various concerts, the development of art work (design, screen-printing, etc.) and of course the opinions and stories of everyone involved. “left fields” comes with a hand-made, screen printed cover on a limited edition DVD and is going to be launched in Austrian cinemas and festivals in December 2011.
