ust the other day we skipped through Dapayk & Padberg’s album previews again. And we were pretty surprised. It seems as both wanted to hide some great tracks for the next album. There’s no other reason why we would have missed „distracted“, this fantastic up-front a-side-track. Perhaps we did not overlook this piece, but we were distracted by the concept of their „black beauty“ album - far away from this conventional minimal genre cliché. According to the ep-title the b-side reveals this records real nature. Nôze the two brillant maniacs from France remixed „island“ (or „swimming circles“ as the lyrics imply). The original was one of the most melodic tunes on the album and with an amazing vocal part by Caro it is a one of a kind collaboration. But Nôze tops it all off. The beginning is super laid-back - fingers flipping right above a groovy baseline. After a while the vocal and additional piano-phrases move in and with an amazing chorus the track turns into a cineastic avant-garde opus. An alternation of melancholy and hope - this track got everything to fascinate the people this summer… The second remix on the record is „khes“, that most people considered the club hit of the album. Now, Digitaline from Switzerland present a less vocally, more groove-oriented minimal version. While mostly playing around with the wooden percussion sounds every now and than they throw in some bits and pieces like tiny cutup vocal snippets. But not randomly - just in time and not too much. If you like the analogy or not… the track fits for Guido Schneider’s „theiss“ remix (black beauty rmxs pt.1) perfectly. A MUST
