edition of 200 copies, screen printed sleeve... here is another best kept secret from the netherlands: garçon taupe… this musician has been around for quite some time but released only a few tracks yet… mostly on dutch label narrominded… and these released tracks are quite elektro orientated… this 4 track ep is all about acid… techno and elektro beats go hand in hand to make up party music pur sang… this is simply a great piece of acid music which will appeal to fans of ceephax acid crew and acid trax in general…

christian hollingsaeter first caught our attention through the traena ep, released through breaking olympic records back in 2011 and remixed by fellow tromsoe-dweller and ambient stalwart biosphere

with smashing contributions by electro lord legowelt from dirty brown the hague and bleep addict garçon taupe from the bourgeois slums of amsterdam, narrominded presents the fourth installment in its renowned split lp series. both sides of this split lp comprise a whole ep in length, and the contributions have in common that they are both deeply rooted in electro music.
on garçon taupes wittenburg ep, eighties infected drum computer beats and heavy bass lines pave the way for some rather cheerful and unpretentious melodies. the five tracks were mixed to tape at rude 66s triple six lounge studio, and reveal influences from electronic pioneers like yellow magic orchestra and mantronix, to todays acid freaks like luke vibert and like a tim. the end result is a catchy mixture of electro and acid.
legowelt explores the darker corners of electronic music in four tracks leaning on eerie vocals and grungy electro beats. his land rovers in astrophysics ep takes us to mysterious environments. we are spacing out on the force of the stars, the universe, etc, and dancing to hypnotic drums on a mystical trip to pago pago west samoa. legowelt not only knows how to to satisfy a dance floor, but is also capable of deeply appealing to the listeners imagination.

yelle, the explosive rappin french girl, is covering an 80s electro-pop hit. when its mastered by her friend tepr, our friends punks jump up and riot in belgium : its a hit in the two hemispheres. parlez vous français ? yelle is young and pretty. also a very explosive character entering the more rigid french pop scene. this stage freak with a unique flow is fully driving the new non-aggressive girl power scene, focusing on delivering kick-ass lyrics. she also doesnt take herself seriously and is refreshingly laidback, especially when she proudly covers the song >a cause des garcons< (>what we do for boys<) a french 80s anthem, so thrilling and amusing, that it looks like a sure hit for the charts this summer. tepr has just released a single on wall of sound and hes back with his thrilling remix.
