tony lionni is the new signing here at versatile. listening to papaia one cant help to think that 2008 will be the year that progressive house will make its comeback. it has been a long time since we had heard such a simple and effective kick and bass intro. the hi-hat then come in along with a small acid sound. the filter opens before the rhythm accelerates. in the middle of the track, the main melody gets dropped in, arms raise and the listener gets lost in the darkness of the night. on the b side, shuffle explores the deeper roots of lionni. the title is surely a reference to the beat, which is predominant in this track. once again the hi-hats are up infront mixed to percussive sounds, which undulate to the rhythm of the bass, making this track an essential tool, ready-to-use and be mixed into almost anything.

huge new 12inch from the master himself! >dont panic – its automatic< – a title that is in many ways descriptive for a track that fires the creative starting shot for anthony rother in 2008. recently having been not more than consistent, rother heralded a stylistic reorientation of his music, however, with last years programmatic >moderntronic< ep. on the a-side, >dont panic<, with the vocoder voices that have come back after a long time now, stays closely associated with the sound and the aesthetic of datapunk - a unique vision of a futuristic abstraction between techno, disco and electro. the dataclash mix on the b-side then formulates the stylistic new beginning with a consistency that leaves the listener speechless. rarely before on datapunk has homage been paid to the imperative of energy so rigorously. going against the grain with extremely surprising noise effects, the dataclash mix is tailor-made even for reductionist dj sets in its psychoactive darkness. a thrilling foretaste of the third rother album on datapunk, announced for the coming year
