hell’s first single in well over a year, ‘i want u’ throbs and thrusts with in-the-moment physical tension. unhurried and extensive in its 11+ minute arrangement, it’s every bit as deep and as long as you’d want such a session to be with its rush-riddled breakdown that dips deep under the skin with lavish emotional chord changes and peaked atmospherics. a celebration of gay culture, an homage to purist analog-driven proto techno, a statement for what’s shaping up to be yet another exceptional album from the hugely influential international deejay gigolos founder, ‘i want u’ comes complete with two startling remixes: the legend that is the hacker accentuates the grit and crunchy ebm charm of the original with an all-out exercise in sonic horsepower while hell’s selector kindred spirit and all-round robot-rustling icon martin matiske provides a whirlwind trip back to another foundation era for electronic music with b-boy-busting electro boogie spectacular. trust us, you’re going to want all three. and thankfully you’ll get all three right here. let us know what you think!
