We’re proud, happy and very very excited to announce the return of The Found Sound Orchestra, Team9‘s side project with cut-ups and sampling galore.

Next week sees the release of the new, long-awaited FSO album, Memorabilica. I spent the better part of Wednesday listening to it on repeat. And it’s simply amazing. Cool, stylish and very laidback – I just wish we weren’t leaving the summer months here in Sweden. This would’ve definitely made my summer house porch setlist…

Make sure you stop by T9′s next week and download the lot. Meanwhile, here’s a little teaser for you: the brilliant, fonky and very groovy, Right About Midnight. Enjoy!

Germany's highest civil court has dealt Kraftwerk a blow in ruling that sampling music does not in principle violate copyright.
Today's decision overturns an earlier ruling in Kraftwerk's favor that said reusing even the
shortest bit of a song infringed on copyright.

The
civil court ruling, however, forbids sampling of a song melody and
insists that the sample must be part of a completely new musical work
bearing no resemblance to the original.

Kraftwerk
had sued German rap producer Moses Pelham for using a two-second sample
from their 1977 track "Metal on Metal" in the rhythm sequence in the
song "Nur Mir" by Sabrina Setlur that appeared in 1997.
