Another one that’s going to have to come with a warning followed by a swift apology.
I’m off to Cologne (or the much cooler looking Köln) for some fun, Germany style, in a few hours. The trip has reminded me of going to Deutschlad in the 90s on my school’s German exchange. Eins, Zwei, Polizei (translated “One, Two, Police” — (X_x) ) was the big tune of the moment and we heard it in all over TV and at some of the clubs/bars we managed to blag our way into.
It’s utter shite but pretty hilarious. Standard European pop dance with amazingly inane ramblings over the top (“Ja, ja, ja, was ist los? Was ist das?” — “Yes, yes, yes, what’s up? What’s that?”). I wasn’t aware of this but it turns out that Mo-Do hails from Italy, even though all the songs are in German. Random.
Anyway, “enjoy” the tune. I’d be surprised if you got more than 30 seconds into it. If you really do want to torture yourself more there’s also a remix with added female vocals and cheesy synths.
Smooth soul from back in the 80s with a band so fond of the letter E that they put three of them in their name. Big, big tune that I always love hearing when I happen upon a club playing rare groove and the like. Also has wickedly (and forgivably) misheard title – who can really listen and not think they’re singing about an “internet connection”?
Top dubstep with lovely floaty vocals here on the ever impressive Numbers label. Baggage Handler on the same EP is getting a lot of play as well, but I just think the drop lets down an awesome intro on that one. Maybe that’s just me, though, eh?
Big tune from London based, and weirdly named, Girl Unit. I posted up DVA’s remix of IRL off his last EP but this is a new one that I’ve heard plenty of people playing. Massive tune, can’t wait for it to come out. On Night slugs, presumably
Best remix of this absolute classic that a lot of people don’t actually know about. It came out on a super limited and hard to find 12″ back in ’96. At the time I actually passed on buying it thinking it was just a repress of the original with a funky etched b-side. Was gutted to then learn that it was the remix that I’d been after for a while and that there were no copies left anywhere.
12 years later and several quids dished out and I’m glad I’ve got a copy of it. This tune used to mash up the place with it’s rougher take on the melodic original
Can’t believe that this only has 15 views on YouTube. What’s that all about?
