COR 147EP
|
Frankfurt's very own Einzelkind presents his first single 12" contribution for Cocoon, which seems to be endless and gets nicely spiced-up with hypnotic vocal elements and disco space sounds. "Free Savioni" already made the terrace floor on a Cocoon Ibiza nights move big time. It actually had such a strong impact that they immediately signed it after Einzelkind played it. "Aya Curanderito" on the flip side sounds like a late-night party deep in the forest witch trolls dancing around a fire -- deep shamanic business with a slight Villalobos touch. Cool and trippy, something for the long nights.

KD 019EP

"Kindisch is 19 releases old, and its latest offering -- courtesy of Einzelkind -- is a glowing affirmation of what the label stands for: namely style, innovation and raw dancefloor power. This new three-tracker opens with 'Out With A Bang,' a lean, pointillist house track that sees dizzying FX swimming around near-percussive piano stabs and abstract vocal snippets, all set to a heavy kickdrum, smacking snares and hefty yet subdued bass detonations. As Einzelkind coax the piano loops to the fore, the overall effect is at once subtle and utterly direct. 'No News Good News' is no less bewitching: a minimal drum pattern and a powerful but padded bass line anchor the track, as whooshing, haunted electronic sounds surge and slither in from the edges of the sound-field. Three minutes in, a crescendo of oscillating, acid-fried synth notes rises up -- a rush-inducing rave signal that dissipates almost as quickly as it arrives, leaving the stripped-down groove to work its tireless magic. A second, yet more explosive breakdown ushers in taut snare sounds and a healthy injection of funk. Closing work-out 'AKA The Groove' is a coy, engrossing rhythm track underscored by a bass line that truly growls, and layers of melodious, zig-zagging percussion that lend a delicately tribal sensibility to proceedings. Einzelkind have done it again -- producing an EP which is psychedelic and sensuous, cerebral yet resoundingly pleasure-centric."

"Arno Volker and Miguel Ayala, aka Einzelkind, first came to prominence when they supplied the track 'Drop 74' to Get Physical's Full Body Workout Vol. 2 compilation in 2005. Since then, they've cemented their reputation as an extraordinarily talented production team, thanks to the Introduction and Pay 2 Play EPs on Physical's experimental offshoot, Kindisch and, most recently, the Meat is Murder 12" on Physical proper. with La Fiebre Del Loco, their second 12" for the Kindisch, this sound has matured into something truly innovative and spellbinding.The A-side 'Maferefumeco' is a more psychedelic affair. Sampled background voices and an almost tribal conga rhythm set the scene, drawing the listener in without offering any easy release. Einzelkind drop groovy, chopped-up piano chords and ease a super-deep bassline beneath. A treble-y synth line is tweaked, first up, then down, to really work the floor, while the incessant, shuffling drum tattoo never lets up. This is trippy house music that manages to reference the past whilst being firmly rooted in the present, and looking to the future."

"Upcoming producer Einzelkind follows his appearance on the Full Body Workout Vol. 2 compilation and his debut on the Get Physical sub-label, Kindisch, with 'Pay 2 Play.' These new tracks venture into the deeper, often evocative ends of techno and house. The title track fuses a percussive old school house groove with deep techno chords. So when the organ line kicks in, it gives you this very original emotion of timeless house. In keeping with Einzelkind's unpredictable tendencies -- he used to make drum'n'bass before he switched to house and techno -- you still can hear something of his former musical alter ego in the second track, 'Bonnieland.' Based on a low-slung, growling bassline, the track gradually evolves to reveal a trippy sequence and lush chords, which sounds like the fusion of a Detroit-y atmosphere with the dynamic of a drum'n'bass track. A strong release that consolidates the unique fingerprint of the two Einzelkind boys from Frankfurt."

"Upcoming producer Einzelkind, who has been involved in the Frankfurt record shop Freebase for years, provides the introduction to Get Physical's new sublabel, Kindisch. The imprint's name translates as 'childish,' but it's going to grow up quickly and rival its big brother label if this debut is anything to go on. Following on from his 'Drop 74' contribution to Full Body Workout Volume 2, 'Grundstuck' and 'Freefall' are full of youthful energy. Einzelkind's irreverent approach means that he has no problem getting inspiration from and fusing jacking Chicago rhythms and acid lines with glitchy minimalism, and the dark, prowling bassline sounds that these tracks are based on sound like he's trying to express his own growing pains. Thankfully, the listener and DJ will benefit from his angst-influenced statements: these tracks are powerful and somewhat sinister affairs that make most sense when experienced as a blinding strobe light cuts through the backdrop of dry ice in a darkened club."
