Review: German duo Piemont have signed to the beautifully named UK label Selador for their latest release and yes, it's a good one. Dusting off those vintage synthesisers to create something somehow fresh and crackly, the title track bursts with a deliciously tight bassy thump and unbeatable knife-edge production. Samu L gives it a sparse makeover in his edit, swapping gently progressing house for sharp-suited techno. Stephan Hinz takes things even further, minimising the track into a tightly-wond ball of effervescent energy that bursts out into slouchy electro. Finally "So What" is Piemont's darkly techy wanderer, signing off with a bow and a strut. All excellent, all worthy of your collection.
Review: "Grandfather's Clock," Piemont's latest release on My Best Friend sees the German duo going deeper into the realms of dirty house music than they have ever ventured before. Whilst doing so over their two original efforts on the release, the title track sticks to the Piemont blueprint of keeping things extremely tight and funky whilst chopping up bits of vocals alongside various other sounds. "Running Mirror" utilises an ice cool, hypnotic groove to drive the release forward. Michael De Hey and Rodriguez Jr rework "Grandfather's Clock" whilst Salz turns in a deeply atmospheric and even more hypnotising remix of "Running Mirror".
