U&K are Uke & Kimik, two new producers who have already had a high profile thanks to their remix of Sasha’s Wavy Gravy. This 4 track EP is definitely the way to go…
Tracklisting:
Ignite Neurope Pixie Pants Füssball
Ignite Immediately good, right up my alley is what Max Graham says about this release. This isn’t your everyday 4/4 track, it has too many elements in it to consider it less then any other song. The breakdown is filled with breaks (yeah), and is just too good in my opinion. This would go down well in any set, as a starter, ending song, whatever…
Neurope Weird name for a track, but who cares, when you hear what they do with the track itself? Completely different then Ignite, this starts off much more relaxed, and has a really cool melody to it. But then… then the vocals kick in, Dave Gahan style is what I thought the first time I played the 12”. They are soothing, subtle, and fit like a glove for the melody. There’s this cool effect in the song, some sort of short spinback, which is really cool.
Pixie Pants Now we’re getting somewhere. This has been chosen as Tune Of The Week since it deserves all the attention it can get. Female vocals send a shiver down your spine, together with the awesome bass, and drums. The tribal elements in this song are omni-present and go great with the song.
The last song on this 4 track EP is a bit of a puzzle to me, Füssball sounds like 4 songs put together, without all the excessive *crap*, it has breaks, acid, melodies, hip hop, and lots more. You really need to listen to this song and make up your own decision, you either love it, or you'll hate it. I love it, it's crazy, different, something fresh that we need!!
Conclusion:
The 4 tracks on this EP are as diverse as they can be: 2 tracks aimed at the club: Ignite & Pixie Pants, with Pixie Pants having the edge for me. Then one down tempo song: Neurope, perfect to just listen to, and chill...... and the last one, Füssball, is an aquired taste, you either like it, or you won't.
4 great tracks!! And of course, a great release from Cuba Recordings!
