| |
| Superpitcher joins the illustrious club of his predecessors like |
| Tobias Thomas, Triple R, DJ Koze and Michael Mayer. His |
| contribution to Kompakt's commonly appreciated mix CD series is |
| entitled Today. In the reader's smart mind, the synapses are |
| really happy to be allowed to form a direct link between the words |
| 'Yesterday' and 'Tomorrow', actually the titles of two classic |
| hits in Mr. Superpitcher's most brilliant oeuvre. After a look at |
| the past and a look at the future, he is now interested in the |
| present, the now, the today that is a lot more inconceivable than |
| the long over and accepted past or even the future, still so far |
| away and only subject to speculation. The now is more complex. |
| Everything happens at the same time and it is impossible to get |
| only the slightest idea of what's going on at the moment. The only |
| thing that helps is the very healthy quality inherent in all human |
| beings to focus only on certain particles of the present. |
| Superpitcher's focus, apart from his most impressive career both |
| as remixer and producer, is on black vinyl records, especially on |
| those engraved with dramatically beautiful, throughout emotional |
| and very modern dance music. Very artistically and with a good |
| deal of understatement, he weaves his mix as if it was silk that |
| has been magically turned into vinyl. First there is snuggling |
| Laurence, the nice guy from Hamburg, with his track 'Spark', |
| followed by DJ Koze who transforms the whole thing in a cosy |
| self-help group for psycho-social paranoids. Confusion has never |
| been so beautiful and the 'sense of the present' has never been so |
| close. So, the trip continues, with a strong and most appealing |
| leaning towards sex and morbidity. Michael Mayer's 'Lovefood' |
| sounds in the congenial version created by former member of Closer |
| Musik Matias Aguayo. It would be too much of a cliche and |
| completely wrong to emphasise the inflationarily used Latin |
| factor; the remix by this Chilean artist is like great, |
| internationally accepted role-model sex. And it is unnecessary to |
| write again about Robag Wruhme aka Wighnomy Bros: Everything he is |
| doing at the moment is fine and simply great. His version of the |
| track 'Penthouse AG' by Triola underlines this statement with the |
| brightest marker available, and in three colours. Then, our |
| protagonist superbly speeds up another evergreen from the house of |
| Traum label: it is Oliver Hacke's track 'Polar', an outstanding |
| work that deservedly belongs in the category 'masterpiece'. Ten |
| minutes are still not enough. And further on, with Highfish's |
| breathtaking remix version of Psychonaut's track 'World keeps |
| turning'. Why have they never been awarded the Grammy for this |
| track? Something is going wrong with this world today. But this is |
| no news. Brand new however, is the following track made by |
| one-of-a-kind Nathan Fake who, via Border Community, has made |
| almost everybody crazy who can spell the word Techno (no, no, it's |
| not written with kkk!). 'Dinamo' is a milestone, and both, epic |
| and complex! And then there are Wighnomy Bros again with the track |
| 'Wurz & Blosse', the bass line of which can really move mountains |
| and valleys. Lawrence still does not have enough either and |
| presents his great remix version of Superpitcher's track |
| 'Happiness' that should not be missing here. Finally, our guide |
| knowingly takes us to the last objects of interest for the ears: |
| Max Mohr's beastly deep track called 'Trickmixer', and then, he |
| leaves us with a heartfelt hug with Sebastian Tellier and a track |
| '...every mix CD or night should close with'. |
