Here we are again and in the meantime it is already the 7th Strike. Once again we have with Paul Mac, recruited someone from the UK. Paul is with his uncountable releases on just as many labels, one of those guys whose records you just know. One can safely talk about him alongside names like Ben Sims and Mark Williams when you talk about -Tribal-Techno-. The guy just grooves! Release-date will be 14th April 2004
Giant – Side:
7 is not only the best number. It also offers "Outsider" by Paul Mac who was on our Giant wish-list from the beginning on. Warm acoustic elements carry the track. Bongos, congas, rim-shots and a whole lot of other clashing and banging cause the hips to start moving as if by magic! Ethno meets carnival in Brazil and never in such a convincing way. An unbelievable track that slowly pushes and surprises with breaks where you were least expecting. Just while you are wondering "what was that?" the beat sets in again and everything is back to where you were. Hardgroove Tribal Techno of top quality. One can't find better. And finally Crazy X-Ray and Hassan Høkström's "Running Beast" has been carved into holy vinyl. The producer seldom has been so convinced by a track. But, don’t be afraid. Dogs that bark don’t bite!!! Enjoy!
Dwarf – Side:
The first B-side track comes this time from the MZM Groupfrom beautiful Greece. The guys are an exception as techno act in their native country. That however doesn’t mean a thing. With "R U Listen to me?" they know how to go for a danceable track. The single elements build together to form the permeating beat. Its effect expands with the addition of vocal samples. You will remember Acidrain from the 5th Strike. With "Leaving Atmosphere" we have got a track with unbelievable atmo. Gloomy, melancholic sounds prevail through the whole track. At the same time however, the creator never forgets the beats. Result: another young and innovative producer that proves that pretty Switzerland doesn't only consist of pocket knives and Riccola sweets.
Be Prepared, the next one is also close to come.
