Good evening dear followers. We have opened our vaults again! Probably the highlight of this rainy day (at least here in Hamburg). We present you tracks for concrete refreshment (Jakuzzi Bubbles, rewired, 2008) and with dustiness of an antiquated item of furniture with the drawer left open for over 11 years (Full Eye Contact, Sloan, 1999).

rewired about Jakuzzi Bubbles: “Jakuzzi Bubbles” was done in quick hurry and some kind of mental disorientation while accidently dropping some funk licks into Sequel. Just for a small check. I liked the punchy drumloops which I started with. But the out-of-the-box instrumentation was quite a humorous mark. So I loaded the ruff sketch into Cubase to tweak and trim the sound forensically.

Sloan about Jakuzzi Bubbles: What the hell was wrong with rewired? Did he had a clown for breakfast? Again, my fellow producer chap has a tendency for big surprises and offers an intensively short track but loaded with Funk-ridden cascades of ill groping keyboard artistic over the hot wire. I am still wondering how he was able to pull of this stunt. I bet there was heavy hand surgery involved. The question is: Was it before he started producing this track or afterwards!?

rewired about Full Eye Contact: Be warned: today we got “Full Eye Contact”. Sloan served us an electro cocktail deluxe bulged with a really groovin’ beat, some even cooler break-rolls and a huge amount of highly confidential special ingredients. This broadloom woven sound layers fitting the dense atmosphere. You can almost smell the scent of daybreak in a misty forest. Turn up the fat knob, tap with you toes and bow your neck! For full enjoyment taste a ligneous but smooth drink:
Pour 2 cl Bruichladdich Pedro Ximinez and 5 cl Somersby Cranberry in a glas. Add one slice of lime. Fill up with crushed ice. Voilà: “Full Eye Contact” on the rocks ready for sipping.

Sloan about Full Eye Contact: This track is so old, I can´t remember too much details about its creation anymore. All I know is it started with this speech-sample which plays in this heavy pounding beat section. The rest came together somehow, by meticulously edited sounds and MIDI event junk. Today, I still like the contrast of the different sections and how they blend together.
