a true classic from tone loc, originally released in 1989.

nach ihrer letzten ep auf mobilee im oktober 2013 erscheint pan-pots neue 2 track ep auf ihrem eigenen label second state audio. cells und third eye sind die ersten beweise dafuer, dass das duo nach 10 jahren ein neues kapitel ihrer musikalischen reise aufgeschlagen hat. waehrend cells sich auf die synthline konzentriert, die beide gepackt hat, und die im laufe des tracks ihre ganze dynamik und volumen entfaltet, wurde third eye aus der idee einer konstant nach vorne schraubenden, hypnotischen bassline geboren, deren hypnotik sich in den kopf des zuhoerers bohrt und ihn suechtig macht

paul kalkbrenner veröffentlichte 2012 mit das gezabel eine erste sehr erfolgreiche single aus dem album guten tag. fuer das im sommer 2014 anstehende remix album haben sich nun die wahlberliner pan-pot, die paul kalkbrenner im jahre 2013 auf tournee begleitet haben, daran gemacht das gute stueck im remixgewandt zu veredeln. das ergebnis ist klassischer pan-pot style wie man ihn liebt, das heißt eleganter high-end produzierter, direkter techno ohne schnoerkel und beschoenigungen. die einpraegsame melodiefuehrung des originals wird geschickt zitiert und scheint aus dem heftigen bass- und beat-konstrukt des remixes immer wieder hervor.

khandoits hypnotic 100 bpm stomp does not adhere to genre or fickle trends, it simply bangs. the track begins with a sturdy kick and piano glissandos which recall alice coltranes most transportative work. as the beat picks up, a creeping, filtered arpeggio enters its journey between rhythmic and downright nasty serving as the track s primary drama. its a stunning intro to the new label grimy trax, a musical chameleon that can be dropped at the beginning, middle or end of the night. to complement the epic a-side, grimy returns to the endlessly talented midwest and emerges with lulu, an original track by deejay/edit ace bruce ivery. the track seamlessly combines the chicago acid sound with the clever vocal sampling of early 90s nyc house. the result is pure peak-time heat. towards the end of the track, ivery arranges brief melodic elements into a propulsive disco facsimile. this unexpected turn summarizes the philosophy of the new label and the way this small group of artists selects and makes records. it doesnt matter if its house, disco, or techno, just make it grimy!

touch tone is the sound of a vital young electronic pop artist hitting his stride. it is full of playful, unexpected twists and turns. an essential soundtrack to our time, the work does what all great works do - leave the listener strengthened with a fresh perspective and a smile.
limited edition of 300 copies on clear vinyl, downloadcode included.
