for their latest effort, einzelkind aka arno völker and miguel ayala teamed up with douglas greed for ice 1656 ep. in a1 >la belle<, a rolling, woodblock rhythm sets the scene for the abstracted keyboard tones which cluster around the track’s middle, cranking up the drama and throwing the bottom-line bass throb sharp relief, ahead of the dirty, flanged synth line that’ll gleefully force any dancefloor into submission. >la belle<’s beauty lies in its simplicity - einzelkind and douglas greed use a small, well-chosen assortment of percussive and melodic elements to create a wonderfully tense, propulsive club track with not even a hint of flab about it. for b1 >ed the optician<, the trio inject a bit of funk into proceedings. it’s a slinky little number, characterised by an expanding and contracting, analogue-sounding synth-line, woodwind samples and a bouncy, morse-code bassline, together making for a warm, groving track that will work well in warm-up and peak-time sets alike, not to mention at home. b2 >squirls in a bathtub< is a similarly supple, funk-fuelled cut, driven by haunting, almost animal-like noises and which mutate into wiry acid lines while the aquatic bass drum, hissing shaker and press

homewreckers - close your eyes til the morning the amazing success of their last release >its about time< challenged the homewreckers to push their sound a little further out. >close your eyes til the morning< is hardcore groove with a great, burning synth bass that funks along until new york singer dennis legree brings some excitement to the proceedings with his tremendous voice. its pure underground deep house - intense, abstract and dramatic. no wonder that felix da housecat and marshall jefferson supported those guys when they were teenagers! a vital alternative to the melodic clichés and rhythmic orthodoxy of the electronic music mainstream. langenbergs remix gets the b-side under way. backed up by a strong beat it rolls steadily ahead with unflagging propulsion. next up is >hot hot hot<, an exciting up-tempo number which gives kemo another opportunity to show his lyrical feeling while >smile< slows down the pace easing into a down-home hip-hop affair. this is the second of four records representing the vinyl collectors edition of the homewreckers forthcoming album >american ruhr<
