We are extremely happy to welcome another release from label chief and techno don, Michel de Hey and his partner in crime M.I.R.K.O. on EC.

Michel is in superb form right now. Off the back of his excellent solo releases 'Curly Wurly/Wurst' and 'Finally Man/ We're Fucking Hi' on his own Hey! Records and 'The Kola Song' on Wasted, we find him in a rich vein of form.
M.I.R.K.O. is fresh from remixing the current EC Records release, Codec & Flexor's 'Black Diamonds'. Together, the pair have already released the fantastic 'Simultaniously / Cornetto' back in May 2008, which went
on to feature in the DJ sets and charts of many of the worlds DJ elite.

Today's release see's the pair drop their heaviest release to date. Three incredible slabs of techno madness, that have already found the Hawtin, Dubfire, Carola and Loco Dice seal of approval!
Lead track 'Close To The Beat' smacks us round the face from the off with its full, rounded, rubbery bassline. It's spooky, triptastic, and ever so simple melody builds an incredible atmosphere, and with the cinematic breakdown, it makes for a perfect 'Hitchcock on Acid' moment!

Smoothy sounds like the soundtrack to the hyperactive child that has just been spoon fed Tartrazine. You just can't keep still to this. Skippin', rollin', poppin', it just picks you up and makes you move. Killer!

To complete the package we have the Erwin Caffé's remix of 'Close To The Beat'. Staying true to the original, stripping it back and calming it down slightly, adding a little break-beat action to preceedings, we
are given an excellent alternative version for our sets.

Overall another great release from EC Records, and following the recent singles from Steve Rachmad, Secret Cinema and Codex & Flexor, the imprint are surely set for a massive 2009!!
