Oh god, yes, Kowalski is fantastische. Have you heard the Dahlback remix of "Hot Spot"?
Other great stuff from the second half of the year, techno-wise:
The Richard Bartz album - "Midnight Man" - dirty, sleazy sounding, very hard and fast.
DJ T - "Radiator" - DJ T put out a bunch of great electro-y tunes this year, but "Radiator" is very different, almost detroit-y.
Jesper Dahlback - "Robot Dance" - STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP - absolutely HUGE kick drum sound. And sounds exactly like a big steam-powered robot dancing. Features on the Andrew Weatherall Fabric 19 mix which is all acid house-y, and is pretty special.
Ferenc - "France" - minimal, fantastic simple repetitive bassline, relentless, kinda hard to describe what makes it so good, really.
Narcotic Syntax - "Drumpads of Jericho" - oh god, this is one of those tunes that I love so much I hardly ever play it because I don't want to get bored of it. Amazing crisp, funky drums, with japanese woman talking over the top of it, groove builds and builds with just percussion in the most delightful way and then a ridiculous synth-funk bassline crashes in. The japanese lady starts speaking again and then the whole thing collapses down into triplets instead of 4/4. Epic. Beautiful. Banging. |
