EINMAL 050EP
|
"The 50th release for any label is an auspicious occasion but the 50th release for Berlin-based Einmaleins Musik is made all the more important when looking at the wealth of artists it has helped develop over the years. Remute, Pan-Pot, SweetnCandy, Mark Henning, Der Schmeisser & Dilo are just a few of the immense talents to have graced the imprint and it continues to be a springboard for real quality. Rising house music star Chris Lattner is the artist in which the half-century celebrations are focused, with his Deep As Hell EP providing two original cuts and a sterling remix from Pezzner (Freerange / OM Records) - and doing so in fine style. '9 Minutes of House' takes the A-side and, as the title suggests, is a 9:05 minute peak time houser with an infections groove. Filtered vocal hits, loose shakers and chord stabs create a rhythm above a bottom heavy stomp, with carefully placed drops and builds creating immense tension throughout. The B-side is populated with both the original and Pezzner remix of 'Deep As Hell,' the perfect counterpoint to '9 minutes of House.' In its original form, it's a low slung, clap driven rumbler which builds slowly and steadily around elastic chords and looped percussion. Pezzner takes things even deeper, proving why he's one of the hottest names in house right now. Bass heavy and moody, his interpretation is a sub-aquatic feel with sounds slowly emerging out of the low end fuzz - this is serious deep house. So, a worthy 50th for Einmaleins and yet another winner for ascendant star Chris Lattner - raise a glass!"
