when gilles peterson reacts to a house record, you know it is a very special house record. deep and soulfull, love it - was what the 6 music dj thought of these two. if that wasnt enough, trickski described best things in life are free as one hell of a bomb. add in support from jimmy edgar, mark e, severino and dusky and this is looking like one of glasgow undergrounds most successful records to date. love games is the a bit of a wolf in sheeps clothing. what starts off as hooky percussive groove slowly morphs into a full vocal classic with swirling chords and a killer synth hook. severino dropped it at fabric recently and took the roof off the place. best things in life are free is a darker affair – all wandering acid lines and moody, emotional strings - but as trickski proved when they played it at watergate, just as effective.

die magie der unwissenheit... in 3 elektronischen neuinterpretationen wird sie zur hochgradig tanzbaren hymne für lebemenschen. als grundlage dient ein deutsch-spanischer song von illute. in viva la ignorancia besingt sie nämlich die nicht vorhandene notwenigkeit, immer alle details zu kennen. zur musikalischen begleitung kommen im ursprünglich auf lasvegas records erschienenen titel erdige bläserklänge, temperamentvolle gitarren und handgemachte rhythmik zum einsatz. eine mischung, die natürlich voll und ganz ins beuteraster von kombinat100 passt. für ihren remix hatte die illustre truppe eine klassische guitaren-session mit jörg schwenzer. das ergebnis ist eine faszinierend stimmige mischung aus strophen, refrains und eingängigem, elektronischem groove. der zusätzliche instrument mix liefert einen stark hitverdächtigen ausflug in kombinat100s einzigartiges wunderland der blubbernden bässe, tänzelnden delays und verspielten filtermodulationen. nicht zuletzt gelingt auch dem berliner duo dingdongdilly eine mitreißende vermählung von songstruktur, knackigen beats und zündendem club-schub.
