Unexpected coincidences lead to the most wonderful encounters when one moves
through the world with perked ears and opened eyes. In this case, it resulted in Kikis
second hit, "Immortal," from his album, Kaiku. The surprising reunion with a friendly
cellist from Kiki's hometown of Helsinki, enlightens the piece with a wonderful,
intensive atmosphere, which is rarely found on a dance floor track. Kiki's Venice
festival encounter with singer and harpist, Pirica is likewise fortuitous as she takes
"Immortal" through a whole new dimension.
The remixers of "Immortal" are, in every respect, good, old friends of Kiki, possessing
roots of musical supremacy. Anja Schneider's accomplishments need no introduction
as she transforms Kiki's manic mood compelling title into a modern sounding hegemonic
DJ-friendly house track.
Kiki's instrumental version develops an irresistible, vigorously hypnotic atmosphere
pushing the track's powerful boundaries. It's no surprise this complex track is currently
the absolute high point in Kiki's liveset.
Workaholic, Holger Zilske has released under the name Smash TV, produced various
Ellen Allien albums and, now, under his common name, is headed down the Playhouse
route with a highly praised new album. After a spooky intro, he sets a super-fat,
bouncy beat in the middle of the track as serene funk sounds circulate a new life as
well as a second face - a real stroke of genius.
Subb-Ann is a young, newcomer from Birmingham and a resident DJ in Below, one
of the best English clubs to date. He reduces "Immortal" to an elementary and
technoid driven beat, underscoring it and thereby refreshing the musical versatility
of the record.[promosheet from ]
