Title:	Ibz Ventiquattro Sette EP
Label:	WIR (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	WIR 014EP

"Famous and feared German actor Klaus Kinski, now defunct, once described the jungle as an obscene display of nature, and somehow one gets the feeling that upcoming Italian producer Fausto Messina has seen the movie, too. After the gigantic success he found with the co-produced 'Compulsive Disorder,' which made it right into the playlist of Sven Väth, he apparently reorganized his aesthetics, not to get keen on the next chainsaw massacre but to let nature grow as it was meant to be. Entwined drum patterns and chirring hi-hats adorn his psychedelically detailed symphonies straight outta the jungle, always promoting something new, surprising and flowing. A night club kinda swing employs obscure folklorist instruments, creating a techno that oscillates between samba and Javanese, sweaty and dirty, as the sound of the green hell should be. The WIR newbie constantly discovers new animals and future medicamentation in the smallest corners, but still manages to map the heavens above the flora, describing it as huge waves of sound break through the treetops. This is the Indiana Jones of contemporary electronics, not just some Lucialobos rip-off, as he's using the machete in his own way. Just be careful not to stumble over the vines... they're quite dangerous."

Title:	Sib*ney Remixes
Label:	WIR (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	WIR 017EP

"Out of the jungle, under the skin -- that's the direction Fausto Messina takes while reworking his very own 'Sib*ney.' The fashionable use of derivative bongos has been polished down to a subliminal groove, giving the track a floor-friendly edge it didn't know before. It may still speak to the connoisseur but in a louder voice, making it a hit for everybody willing to dance, especially due to those philanthropic sirens worked into the tight fabric of this veritable groove monster. A master in the making, Daniel Mehlhart joins Fausto on his way to pure bliss, but he uses a different mindset for his interpretation of the original, constructing a jazzier vibe, but without the narcissistic ornamentation. A congenial feeling for rhythm and detailed concentration make this remix a delightful masterpiece from beginning to end, also featuring some summery melancholic guitar chords that enchant every listener. Never before has sophistication been more danceable."
