microglobe is Mijk van Dijk’s new label for his very personal vision of Techno and House.
Since his first record release in 1990 he has been a mainstay of the Berlin Techno scene. Between 1992 and 1995 he released several EPs as "microglobe" and also his first album "Afreuropamericasiustralia". Now Mijk returns to his "microglobe" as a personal label after a long journey through the infinite vastness of electronic dance music.
On the title track Mijk takes a stand on social and political issues in his very own way in the tradition of classic Chicago Deep House and his two „Think & Dance EP“s from 1994, "Peace 4 All" is about the simple truth that everyone has the right to live in peace. The track is released as a vocal version, instrumental and acapella.
The second original track "The Floating World" takes Mijk’s trademark sounds from classics like "All Our Colors" (MFS Records, 1994) and "Motherwomb" (Frisbee Tracks, 2007) on a whole new level and has been road-tested in his DJ sets already with great success. The track title is inspired by Mijk’s love for Japanese culture and the art of Ukiyo-e.
lyrics
we need peace 4 all, in this world
full of conflict, and war and fear
we need food 4 all, on this planet
full of resources, and hunger and greed,
we need love 4 all, in these times
full of hate, and distrust and surveillance,
we need hope 4 all, in this age,
full of darkness, and lies and despair,
do you care? do you dare?
to raise your voice, to raise your hand
for the peace, in every land
in the end, it's about you
to make a difference
coz it's a microglobe
it's our microglobe
we are the microglobe
will you understand?
if you decide to take the side
of those who suffer from some other,
raise your hand, if you understand! Peace 4 All
