Hi all, we’re back from the music lab/ retreat in the woods with a video postcard for you directed by our good friend Raycord. Enjoy the video and thanks for sharing it with friends.

We hope that you had a great summer. Lots of fun & music here, it was amazingly hot & productive for us.

We encourage you to make videos with your favorite songs of ours. Wether it be something inspired like you dancing, singing or reciting poetry, videos from vacation or your pet rabbit learning new tricks. Upload it to youtube or another of your favorites to share with us all.

A big thanks to Raycord for everything. We had a great time. Berry Weight strongly recommends that you keep a close ear to the ground for Raycords own genius.

Hi all, we just wanted to thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We never hoped for so much attention & success on our first release and we are deeply touched.

Thanks to everyone who bought the album, thanks for all the support, for all the comments, the shared links, likes, plays, to the gazillion torrents that are posted everyday (we know how it is, we need you, we are you). Thanks to all of you generous souls. Berry Weight loves you.

If you haven’t heard from us all summer it just maybe that we’re working on some more music & projects to share with you.

The album, “Music for imaginary movies”, is always available directly from our website, Itunes, Insound and many others.

Musically,
apewok & stab

‘whisper of the turntable’ will be featured on the season 3 of Departures TV Series, episode 10 (Rwanda).

From www.departuresentertainment.com :

Rwanda is a country emerging from its darkest years of poaching and the 1994 genocide.  Scott and Justin travel with locals to learn more about how Rwanda is managing today.  They explore the recovery of the animal population – from swimming cows on Napoleon Island to trekking into the wild to visit isolated groups of mountain gorillas.  This experience is contrasted with a visit to the church of Ntarama to talk to a genocide survivor, and a court tribunal of several accused men.  The guys hear stories of forgiveness from the people, and learn of their hope for their country.

Our ‘Positively Inclined’ remix for Wax Tailor is featured alongside Daedelus, Dj Vadim, General Elektriks, Wax Tailor & more on the CD included with the April edition of Trax Magazine (WT special).

Notre remix de ‘Positively Inclined’ pour Wax Tailor apparait sur le CD qui viens avec le magazine Trax du mois d’avril (Spécial WT) et ce aux côtés de Daedelus, Dj Vadim, General Elektriks, Wax Tailor et plus.
