PP 040EP
|
Listening pays off. This is evident not least in the debut EP of Golden Pudel Club barman Paul Speckmann. Long years behind the bar of the Hamburg club pub made him a willing listener to the numerous and diverse events there - from start to finish, something that very few "regular" clubbers can claim. And these influences, from indie concert to electronica crunch, from jungle breakbeat massacre to dignified house groove, not only led to his varied DJ sets, with which Speckmann also made his house club happy, but certainly also served as inspiration for these wonderful tracks, which skillfully oscillate between deep-dusty house, angereak indie dance, and playful IDM jingling, often varying different elements in one track. There is, for example, the delicately dreamy house hit "On The Flip", the late-night funk of "Starships", which would not be out of place on the Sunday MFOC floor, or the blurred indie ambient tune "Return", which captivates with campfire guitar and Sophia Kennedy on the vocals. And these are just three of the seven tracks on the EP, none of which disappoint. Someone has listened carefully and learned his lessons. Chapeau!

ZISSOU 007EP
|
After this endless seeming period of release abstinence your favorite imprint is back with a special EP by musical mastermind Speckman! With his debut EP Big City Days the producer and Golden Pudel resident, Speckman, shares his vision of the dancefloor, where he creates outbreaking sound textures on a soulful base and unfolds his unique and modern approach on dance music. Dive right in with "Desperate Housevibez", a dreamy and breaky intro to get you right in the mood. Next stop is "Something Still" -- heavy on the bottom, quirky at the top. The A side finishes with "Big City Days", the melancholic yet upbeat centerpiece of the EP. Flip the record and you'll hear the bubbly "Run", a checked-out synthie banger. With the outro "Meow" Speckman goes back to his roots and let's you off the hook easy.
