“It's cool! It’s fun! And there’s not much music around that sounds like it!” says
the unknown artist behind new project Das Spezial. This first EP has already
been road tested to great effect by Stacey Pullen, Laurent Garnier, The Advent,
Young Male and Henning Baer, and features collaborative appearances from
The Chemical Brothers' engineer Steve Dubs and Peace Division man Justin
Drake.
This project is about big, bold music that mixes up breakbeat, techno, acid and
disco into razor sharp club weaponry. To that end, Maceo Plex has been a huge
supporter of opener ‘Romantic Schizophrenic’, an adventurous sci-fi trip into big
room techno. Loopy and eerie deep techno cut ‘Nightcrawler’ comes with its
own video which you can see here, as does the strobe lit rave tune ‘Hells Angles
And Prolific Demons’, which you can see here.
The superb stomper ‘Elektronisch’ is a twisted and prickly bit of electrifying
techno, ‘Primitive And Civilized’ is a bristling electro tinged track with wiry
synths, and that visceral energy and pure sense of abstract dance floor thrill
continues with ‘Beautiful Monsters’ and ‘I Avoid Your Gaze.’ The dark wave and
chilly post punk synths of ‘Only The Paranoid Survive’ and spooky drones of
‘Daphne's Window’ close things down in arresting fashion.Tracklist:
