>corky< is the third ep from brand brauer frick on tartelet records and features a remix from tartelets own james braun. music has always been the defining core of tartelet records. this may seem like an obvious statement, but that was the very reason why it hit us like a ton of bricks when we receivedthe first demo from paul frick and his new band around two years ago you might say that the brandt brauer frick sound touched on a vibration that had been lurking in our musical subconscious. we ll resist the temptation to wax lengthy or lyrical about >corky< instead, we suggest you have a listen and let yourself be seduced by its panoramic echoes and pumping bass drum. hop aboard an odyssey that leads brandt brauer frick through the technoid city of detroit. its a fine ride indeed.

so what is the sound of progressive disco? well it captures the insane rhythm and the unforgiving driving beat that is instantly found in the funk of the early seventies but real disco music also had a formula that would guarantee the hottest djs success if played at the right time. that formula was a blend of up-tempo rhythm sections laden with south american percussion mixed with soulful vocals and orchestral strings - a symphony of sex, lust and love. we change the formula and focus on the rock, electronic and dub elements - slower, sleazy and fun.
