luciano & tobias freund edit of n.s.i. s original track once again, cadenza comes on strong with a powerful and unconventional floor-filler, proving that >minimal< music neednt be a predictable affair of plug-ins, gratuitous reverb, and garish bit reduction. in its first limited-run, one-sided single, cadenza revisits last year s >max binski< ep from nsi (non standard institut)-the duo of tobias freund (pink elln, sieg Über die sonne) and max loderbauer (sun electric)-with a 13minute edit by freund and luciano. the edit takes >clara ghavami<, a sleeper cut off the b-side of the nsi ep, out of the isolation tank and into a crazy, heaving landscape of fluid shapes and odd angles. underpinning it all is an irresistible rhythm that s pure luciano-powered by a stuttering kick drum and some antennae-like, hypersyncopated squiggles, it pumps away like a legion of army ants, carrying exponentially more than its own weight

nice deep soulful jazzy vocalhouse anthem

great remixes to mr.negative s eccentric clubsmash: freaks hit hard with sparse, stripped down mix mashing up analogue bassline, random string sounds and some 80 s sounding key chords here and there - the result is abstract, wiggling disco-funk delight. sassse aka freestyle man takes a techier approach with a robotic effect on the voice sample, pushing oldschool bassline, scratches and sparse percussion build up in classic wild pitch style to some irresistible floor frenzy
