this is the sound of ark and krikor, original and most of all super funky. driven by crazy noises and syncopated, funked-up bassline, arks track >wagon< has got thath touch of prince class that will make you dance. his remix of >1968< turns krikors mad track into a great funk tune. krikors original version of >1968< is rough, edgy and funky with lyrics from romeros >night of the living dead<. his remix of >wagon< adds extra phatness and a great break, without loosing any of the originals funk

phat phreaky french minimal beats

ark has got an eclectic and ÒorganicÓ sound, something in between. from his origins as guitarist in a number of 80Õs funk bands, most notably trankilou, where he hooked up with the legend that is pepe bradock and onto the great matthew herbert & losoul with their first collaboration, Ôbelle luretteÕ in Ô99. the ÔalleluyarkÕ ep series from 2003 reaffirmed as his status as chief protagonist of experimental, groove led house and techno. his 2005 long player on perlon, ÔcalienteÕ won him critical acclaim, which is furthered by his more recent works together with shalom (as shalark), krikor (as krikark), cabanne (as copacabannark), mikael weill (as les cerveaux lents) and dolibox. his cannon of remixes is as long as the channel tunnel, reworking the likes of stephen beaupre, mr. oizo, archive, mossa, salif keita, slabb, fym, robag wruhme É arkÕs new lp (cd+vinyl) features singers (xanax, lippie) and is here nowÉ

this release is a mixture between minimal techno and sweet trancy melodies in the typical david keno style. the stupid, dirty mr. oizo bassline and some kind of rave atmosphere make this track very special and unique. less is not always more. it is time for melodies again... krikor (crack&speed, karat, ark rec) turned the track into a slow and dirty acid groovemonster in his own typical sound.

nach der legendären ark vs krikor geht's munter in die nächste runde. chloe zeigt simon was ne harke ist
