Info:
"Soundtricks" is an ongoing series in which the Whimsical Music crew create Dubs out of their favourite movie soundtracks. 8 episodes of this series form 1 season. At the end of a season might or might not come an album compiling all the episodes into one release.
The first episode of the first season tributes the legendary French comedian Louis de Funès. This remix has been on Sound Tracker's "to do"-list since 1996. Now it's finally done. The "vocal" cut features samples from the movie "La Soupe aux choux". It's both, a funny and sad movie involving two old geezers being tired of life and an alien who finds them from outer space due to their criminally loud farts after eating their favourite meal: cabbage soup. The soundtrack is a beautiful synthesizer early 80s wavepop extravaganza. We remember looking for the record in record shops in the 1990s, but no luck. It has been finally released on green marbled vinyl in 2021. And now there is a dub version as well. We hope you like it.

Whimsical Music is a netlabel for quirky electronic music without boundaries, with a slight emphasis on leftfield dubby styles. No constraints, just free music for free people. We like to remix other people's work we love, and show them our appreciation through our works. Our releases are usually structured in series, like on TV. 8 episodes of a season make an album. Remixes, one-takes, songs with all kinds of samples come together for an open-minded, free-spirited experience. Whimsical Music is non-profit. It's just for fun and to give our respect to other people. Our songs are often tributes and fan service for things we like. Some Whimsical Music releases are not official releases and are not available on any streaming platform or physical media, only homemade videos on YouTube, Bandcamp (for free) and our own website. Please let us know if you feel like there is something here that shouldn't be, e.g. a sample or a video clip.
