Review: Long standing hero of the Berlin scene and Stil Vor Talent chief Oliver Koletzki steps up to present a fine collection of remixes for his label's next installment. He's been crafting for prolific friends and outstanding musicians for close to a decade, and for Remix Tales Koletzki has now compiled his personal favourites (with some previously unreleased ones too). Features his emotive take on German duo HVOB's "Dogs", Frank 'Ame' Wiedemann and Ry 'X' Cuming's Howling project on "Stole The Night", through to legends such as French Touch pioneers Cassius on "Toop Toop" and NYC electroclash icons Fischerspooner on "The Best Revenge". Keep your ears peeled for his upcoming full length which will be released very soon.
Review: Ame and Ry Cuming are back with their Howling project except this time the woofers have brought with them an album on the ever-excellent Monkeytown / Counter affiliation. Sacred Ground, however, is more of compilation of their work up to the present day, an anthology of their own unique take on house. Tracks such as "Stole The Night", "Signs" and "Howling" have already appeared on previous EPs and have also been remixed by various electronic luminaries for the same label. The rest of the work contains yet more of their poppy dance music, a cross between Nicolas Jaar's work and something that Hot Chip would vibe to in one of their DJ sets. House music for indie rock lovers.
Review: Frank 'Ame' Wiedemann and Ry Cuming's Howling project gets the remix treatment from a stellar line-up. Radioslave's 'Last Communication' version sees the UK ex-pat fuses crashing bells, spellbinding chimes and glorious, sweeping keys for a hypnotic, seemingly unending groove. Berghain favourite Rodhad's remix also centres on a hypnotic feeling; rather than pounding the listener into submission, its clicky groove and understated groove provide the basis for a cavernous soundscape that hangs like a dark tapestry over the arrangement. Finally, there's Kalabrese's remix: like his colleagues, the Swiss producer's version is extended and drawn out, the tinkling jazz licks and acid hiccups fused with a melancholy, booze-soaked vocal that meanders indefinitely.
