part 3 of the emotional relish series sees robi insinnas work remixed by a quartet of british producers. death in vegas overseer richard fearless tackles >be loved< starting with an ethereal loop that builds on top of itself before the beat kicks in and the remix heads for the dark (leather) dancefloor. mr andy blake channels the collective spirits of the slits, the pop group and killing joke on his space echo laden remix of >adolescent sex< whilst weatherall acolyte scott fraser returns to the relish cause with a typically chugging rendition of >turning< that has found favour from croatia boat parties to the catwalks of paris s/s 2013 no less (check youtube for evidence). cosey club founder richard d clouston slows down the tempo for a brooding, mind bending take on >blue girls<.

brazilian foursome funky fat are back with an unmissable summer release . the original ‘jealousy’ is a funk-fuelled ride of unbridled energy, solid grooves and seductive vocals. that shaping up to be another huge release for hot creations funky fat were first seen on the label with the ‘masochist ep’, their joint venture with fellow brazilian stars digitaria, which received critical acclaim across the board for its fresh fusion of electro, disco and pop. fans of the release included the likes of solomun, sasha and claude von stroke. hot creations label boss and hot natured member jamie jones delivers a killer remix of ‘jealousy’ for late night action, cutting the vocal into snippets and working around the infectious bassline with his own crispy hi-hats and rolling drum grooves.

moderat sind apparat (sascha ring) und modeselektor (gernot bronsert und sebastian szary). hier der bedächtige klangtüftler und pop-poet, dort die beiden techno-b-boys. beide acts stehen für die berliner elektronikszene jenseits der geraden bassdrum. modeselektor sind die großmeister der unterirdischen bässe und elektrisierenden breakbeats, apparat ist der feingeist der elektronischen popmusik. die verweigerung, sich mit dem vorhandenen abzufinden, schweißt die drei in einer künstlerfreundschaft zusammen. auf dem ersten album definierten sie 2008 den moderat-sound. wobbelnde bässe und zuckende beats auf der einen seite, apparats filigrane stimme auf der anderen: gerade der extreme kontrast erschuf das einzigartige moderat-gefühl. in den nächsten jahren wurden beide acts zu international bekannten künstlern. sie definierten mit bahnbrechenden alben den elektronischen sound der zeit. heute ist das spektrum emotional und stilistisch größer geworden. es gibt keine grundstimmung mehr. in elf tracks erzählen moderat ein facettenreiches und doch kompaktes epos. sie sind verführer und hooligans, grübler und partysäue. in ihrer welt sind partytaumel und tiefsinn kein gegensatz. sie lassen kein kapitel ihres elektronischen und ihres analogen lebens aus. im clash zeigen diese großen musikerpersönlichkeiten neue charakterliche facetten. so ist in dieser wiederbegegnung eines der großen alben der elektronischen popmusik entstanden.

trotz zahlreicher nebenprojekte wie alexis taylors about group, joe goddards the 2 bears und einem vollgepackten tour-kalender, lassen uns hot chip nach ihrem erfolgs-album in our heads vom sommer 2012 auch in diesem jahr nicht im stich: die neue single dark and stormy erscheint am via domino! der typisch leichtfüßige hot chip-sound trifft auf eingängig groovende bass-lines und den soulig-melancholischen gesang alexis taylors. dabei herausgekommen ist ein elektrisierender dance-pop-song, der spätestens mit dem aah-ooh der bridge ganz fest im ohr hängen bleibt.
