MUSICK 015EP
|
Håkan Lidbo strikes back on Musick! The Swede has hit us with tons of releases, tracks, labels, dates, ideas, pictures, skills, titles, themes, etc., and his tracks are always worth checking out. After Call for Islam, the present 12" showcases two more excellent floor tracks taken from his full length Dunka Dunka. Fulfilling all needs/wants and have-tos in the techno business is not Mr. Lidbo's game -- he is into the music business to have fun and to rock the floor. You can taste this on every single bar, click and clash of his music.

MUSICK 016CD
|
Sweden's foremost producer Håkan Lidbo is a legend in '90s tech-house, and has released nearly countless dance/pop records in his almost 15-year-long career. Virtually everything that Lidbo touches becomes a new invention in quirky electro production, welding together minimal, Latin, soul, disco, click-house and more to baffle even the most well-seasoned techno-phile. Dunka Dunka, according to Lidbo, is "an expression old people use to describe modern music." What this means for the actual content of the record is unclear, but as is evidenced with the three previously 12"-only tracks "Half Man Half Lobster," "Speedway" and "Call For Islam," Dunka Dunka should be chock-full of dark disco-techno, bit-crushed minimal melodies, and well-distorted vocal lines. It's not the usual minimal mainstream output, but some sort of variation on futuristic splatter, still holding onto a solid remnant of classic disco. Whatever your mood, Lidbo demands that you dance from side-to-side under a deep purple strobe-light, keeping in mind that these tracks were made under the influence of self-administered electric shock treatment, cocaine, happy-pills, and ginseng juice.

MUSICK 013EP
|
Sweden's Håkan Lidbo presents a preview of his forthcoming album with this 12", Call For Islam. Lidbo's music is perfect disco-techno without the false romance, straight from the bottom to the top. "Call for Islam" opens with Arabic-ish distorted vocal lines, dark disco bass lines, highly bit-crushed minimal melody, 4 to the floor beats... and then the wonderful hi-hat starts: chickchickchickchick. "Half Man Half Lobster" dances from side to side, even more disco than techno. An old school sawtooth line clears the set. Finally "Speedway" is good old school with a forbidden master gate snare. Deep purple stroboscope light shit, heroin Iran, swinger club Kreuzberg, and more synths from Istanbul... 4 to the floor and more!
