TRACKLISTING
A Efdemin - America
B Efdemin - The Pulse
INFO
We're very proud to announce the highly anticipated first release from Efdemin since his self-titled debut album last year on Dial, that - together with the 'Acid Bells' single on Curle - received very high critical acclaim from around the globe. After extensive touring worldwide, some remixes for Sian, Sascha Funke and Grimes Adhesif and a track on this year's Cocoon box, these two tracks are his first solo productions again. 'The Pulse' is a future dancefloor burner, whereas 'America' is more melodic in the familiar Dial spirit. That one is also to be heard on the forthcoming mix-cd by Efdemin "Carry On, Pretend We're Not In The Room" (CURLE016CD).

Efdemin-America/The Pulse
Während sich die Veröffentlichung von Efdemins Mix-CD Carry On, Pretend We're Not In The Room - zuletzt in diesem Magazin zurecht abgefeiert - verzögert, ist die erste von drei Vinylauskopplungen erschienen. Teil 1 wird eröffnet von seinem eigenen Track ?America": ein Stück, das es schafft, in düsterer Umgebung verheißungsvoll zu irrlichtern. Wer politische Vergleiche ziehen will: bitte. Wenn wir schon bei Amerika sind: ?The Pulse" ist so nahe wie schon lange niemand mehr an Robert Hood. Nennt es ?druckvolle Mathematik" oder ?klaren und eleganten Techno, den man auch übermorgen noch hören wird". (cdb)
DJ Mag:
Efdemin - America (Curle)
Penned especially for his recent mix, 'America' features most of Philip Sollmann's signatures - the brittle, fragile rhythms, the subtle, dream-like melodies and the use of mysterious, ponderous vocals. This time, it's a woman intoning the track title over and over again. While the recent US election would make you think that 'America' might be more upbeat than releases like 'Just a Track', it's driven by the same melancholic sensibility. (4 stars) |
