I first came across the original of this on the MCDE DJ Kicks, which I thought was nice enough but not wildly memorable. Then the 12″ dropped: on the B side is a tripped out synth-heavy destroyer by Stuttgart’s SoulPhiction (aka Michel Baumann) who seems, on this job, to be wearing an early noughties DC Recordings T Shirt and dreaming of early eighties post punk NYC… It’s that clattering straight hat and rotational bassline that gives it that strange proto feel; upfront and uneasily nostalgic at the same time.
Me likey very much! Buy buy buy!
