Side 1

1. "24H A Day"

Side 2

1. "Down Under"

2. "Catch Me"

Adel und Jan-Eric beglücken nun schon seit einer ganzen Weile die internationale Clubszene. Spätestens seit ihrer ersten Ep "Blowfunk" auf Woodys Fumakilla Label, die einiges zum Ruhm des damals noch jungen Labels beitrug, muss ein ordentlicher Club Autotune mindestens einmal für ihren unnachahmlichen Live-Act gebucht haben. Der wechselt spielerisch von polierten Techno-Funk und tief liegenden Keller-Techno hin und her. Die Kick ist breit, der Bass drückt dir sofort in den Magen. 24 Stunden am Tag. So gut wie Autotune die Beats beherrschen, scheinen sie wirklich nichts anderes zu machen.

Der Titel track ihrer ersten EP auf Force Tracks erinnert sofort an den roughen Tech-House der 90er, wie ihn Labels z.B. wie Cabinet propagiert haben. Funktional, treibend, die Spur dazu, die weg und wieder von vorne. Auch ohne große Intro-Dramen und pseudohaften Breaks kann man einen 8-Minuten-Wahnsinn erzeugen.

Die B1, "Down Under", funktioniert vom Prinzip nach dem gleichen Schema. Von 0 auf 100 und da bleiben. Energie und Spannung halten. Immer nur kurz eine Verschnaufpause links antäuschen, rechts mit dem dominanten Groove vorbeiziehen und alle mitreißen!

"Catch Me" zum Abschluss ist dagegen wenig mehr tricky und verschachtelter, manche würden vielleicht auch verspulter sagen. Wird das der After hour-Hit der Platte?

Ab 25. Juni im Plattenladen eures Vertrauens

Unai – A Love Moderne

There’s no doubt, disco has been back lately, but this one from Sweden is supposed to smash up your ears and turn the dance floor upside down. Unai’s latest kills you with a straight beat, a cinemascope sound and a subtle digital bricolage, combining a minimalist sound architecture made in Uppsala with an uncompromising disco beat.

Indeed, regarding club culture in recent years, somebody had to do it, heading beyond the abstract surrogates of minimal electro for that irresistible combination of digitally clicking backbones, lying beneath a sound redefining house from its funky roots. Still wondering, why this approach is made by a sound explorer formerly beloved for his brittle minimalist house research, released by a label being famous for rough experimental tinkering?

The Uppsala-Berlin interface just seems to fit the policy of logical progression: after the critically acclaimed Rebel Swing from 2001, A Love Moderne keeps a close look at the dance floor, bringing back in the intellectual discourse to the club scene and abandoning the fear to be too camp. And of course, Eric Möller is not, always playing with pop without ever tangibly citing. As a matter of fact, A Love Moderne is starting programmatically with Oh You And I. A voice close to fabric softener struggling with digital noise, than a breakthrough of sound tapestry fed with 80ies-alike synthesizer sequences producing a slight touch of comfortable solitude. Following is Heart Is To The Left, and here they are again, those brittle passages. But there is something else added to the approved filigree minimalist noise: the return of elegance. Möller appears to be a real music dandy, composing with a light hand and an ominous taste of melancholy - electronic disco candy distinctively broken by clicks and cuts. This balance of thinking and hedonism infuses the whole album, and from here on, the sound will expand to a true synthesised broadband experience. Already track number three, I Like Your Style, will wipe off any possible doubts, whether Möller knows what he is doing. He knows far to well, evolving a hypnotic flow making you think of Agnetha, Björn, Benny and Anni-Frid having some subversive fun with the Pet Shop Boys after of having fallen into an electric smash hit coma. After this heavy dance floor infusion, Lucky Bastard calms down with a cool beat and induced noise, followed by casual and funky Young Kiss. The last tracks meet the soft melancholy of the beginning, finding its ambient peak in Exit Wounds: large emotions and a broken rhythm, seemingly lost but ever present.
All told, A Love Moderne is an overflowing minimalist digpop disco statement. How come that music can sound so filigree and all-consuming at the same time? It’s urban and stylish, emotional and cool… Play it loud, think big and don’t forget about your hips.
