vinyl only - round 2 for neukolln based boutique imprint xk after hauke freer s phenomenal first volume left heads baffled all over the place. this time, the label hands the a side to retro spook maniac matthias reiling, who opens with hand of hope, a tune that fuses an attitude-heavy, upright bass / piano theme with a cold hearted drum workout. strongly physical, sensitive, yet somewhat arrogant as we feel here. reiling twangs up his stratocaster on melodioso and explores the possibilities of sequencer based surf rock. you know, like a computer trying to be a backing band or the other way around. we can t help but imagine chris isaak singing under the shower to this one. the b side is freer territory once again, and hauke takes us deep into his realm of hypnotic, druggy dub-disco sculpting. reach out sucks you in, leaves you utterly disoriented and makes your mind paint a picture you would not have painted elsewhere. when you try to tell your friends, you can t find any words, yet it feels right and you all smile at each other.

es ist erst ein jahr her, dass skläsh die runde machte: das debut-album des münchener klangsurfers wurde in trendmagazinen all over the place als elektrisierende glücksspirale gefeiert, als entdeckung einer unbekannten umlaufgeschwindigkeit, einer neuen wahrnehmungsebene von zeit. skläsh war (und ist) eine global denkende musik- und zeitmaschine, angetrieben von einer erfrischend renitenten slackerigkeit.
der globus aber hat seitdem einige kratzer dazubekommen, scheint binnen diesem einen jahr um ein vielfaches gealtert zu sein. während leroy zu winterspielen in wien oder sommerfestivals im u.k. eingeladen wurde, gab es ein amokmünchen, ein putschstambul, einen brexit und einen freitag, den 13ten ba-ta-clan, kam unter viel dampf und druck eine auf rechts gerührte stimmungssuppe von zweifellos giftiger konsistenz zum brodeln. bambadea! so ist das neue album in einem spannungsfeld zwischen persönlicher euphorie und europäischem weltschmerz groß geworden.

now, if there was ever a record title that could make you look twice its gotta be this seminal slab of jacking chicago mayhem from maurice joshua & hot hands hula. released in the golden year of 1988 on the legendary trax label which was already in full flight and on a major roll at the time. it could have been easy to overlook i gotta big dick because of its (mildly) humorous, tongue in cheek title, but don t be fooled, this is one sleek, charged acid weapon, an early blueprint for the incoming ghetto house scene out of the chi perhaps? if you re somewhat prudish or easily offended by the lyrical content the guys were kind enough to include an instrumental version that jacks in all the right places! also included on this ep is the stone cold classic this is acid which was co-produced by lidell townsell that became an acid house anthem all the way from illinois to ilford. a true school chicago jam indeed! finishing out the ep is the almost apocalyptic acid of -feel the mood- that features a rap from kool rock steady, the combination of twisting 303 s, church-like organs and synths and kool s razor sharp rhymes make for a pretty heavy concoction, use this one wisely damage will occur on the dance-floor! remastered in conjunction with trax records, fully legit, now is the time to revisit a cornerstone of classic chicago house music, often imitated, never bettered!
