eigenlob stinkt, also schnell die wäscheklammer auf die nase. wir haben immer schon gewusst, dass matias aguayo ein jahrhunderttalent ist. seit seinen ersten gehversuchen mit michael mayer als zimt oder später mit dirk leyers als closer musik und mit marcus rossknecht als broke und vor allem auch solo weiss matias immer wieder zu Überraschen. seine dj-/live-sets gelten von buenos aires Über paris bis köln als legendär und: visionär! nach seinem tongue-in-cheek sommerhit minimal lag matias jedoch nicht auf der faulen haut, sondern hat mal eben en passant eine der inspiriertesten techno eps der jüngeren geschichte aus dem hut gezaubert. der titeltrack walter neff ist ein gnadenloser poptechno-ohrwurm und dancefloor-destroyer zugleich. der teufel muss ihm diese bassline verraten haben! one for the ladies... bei rebolledo style schraubt matias das drecklevel kräftig hoch und serviert einen hochenergetischen chicago-meets-baile-funk-meets-pianohouse-slammer. dann rundet matias die platte mit einem weiteren ausnahmetrack ab, carter msp. die bassline ist schlichtweg krank, dabei aber unglaublich sexy und uplifting. ernsthaft, alle drei tracks sind derart brilliant, dass man sich fragt, warum fast alle anderen platten im vergleich mit der walter neff ep so Öde sind? so, jetzt könnt ihr die wäscheklammer wieder abnehmen.

two key players of the scene join forces on figures sixteenth release. no one else than adam beyer and luke slater contribute tracks to this very special ep. mod by luke slaters planetary assault systems project takes off with a fast, breathless groove. its force drags the dancers along, and the mesmerizing bleeps put everybody in a deep trance. within seconds, the solid ground of the dancefloor is nothing but a remote memory. mod has a very special aura, it is hard to grasp its exceptional energy. it appears to be pretty elementary, and yet it is an verwhelming techno anthem which will accompany you for quite some time. adam beyers simulated usage surprises the crowd with its elegance and subtlety. forming an irresistible funk, the fabric of the track interweaves various tiny elements. this savageness obviously manifests in his musical approach which can be characterized by his open-mindedness in regard to diverse influences, currents and styles. simulated usage is strong and joyful, it is techno in its best sense. once again, adam beyer und luke slater manage to coin the face of contemporary club music.
