In the annals of German techno history of the early '90s, Mannheim's Milk Club was always something like the dirty little brother between Berlin's Tresor and Frankfurt's Omen -- not as cocky as the two big siblings, but secretly all the more-clever. Less pretentious than the Äppelwoi metropolis, less dirty than the capital and, despite squaring the circle, less straightforward than both together. Instead, they delight with breakdancers of almost Wigan Casino-like elegance. Very British, even in the musical mix of house, techno and breakbeats, breakbeats, breakbeats. A club like a kind of mother raising the nightclubbers with her milk. Devi G. pay tribute to this club with their Milk EP on Pudel Produkte. Devi G. are Dirk Mantei aka Dman (DJ and former manager of the Milk Club) and Oliver Bradford (one half of Thee Church Ov Acid House and resident DJ at the equally legendary Brückenkopf parties in Mainz). A four-part promenade mix is on offer that has it all. It contains house, techno and, yes, breakbeats, breakbeats, breakbeats. Four tracks that transfer the milk legend into the 21st century with '90s-inspired rave finesse. Dross for the posse. Or as the connoisseur says: effervescent tablet in the brain, highly recommended!
