Release Notes :
Andomat 3000 aka Andreas Wiegand burst into the global house conciousness in
2006 and via releases on Cadenza, Morris Audio and Four:Twenty managed to
influence an army of copycats with his rolling, bassy, jazz inflected house
sound. After a short break from original material hes back and better than ever
with Hit Ze.
In its original form, Hit Ze features all of the Andomat 3000 trademarks which
make his sound so instantly recognisable; the clipped, heavily shuffled drums,
almost-live bass and nagging 1 bar funk aesthetic. Bar a vocal sample drop the
arrangement is kept as simple as possible which adds further weight to the
looping vibe which has drawn fans such as Luciano, Hawtin, Villalobos as well as
attention from bastians of quality journalism like Resident Advisor and
LittleWhiteEarbuds.
Mladen Solomun delivers his first remix since his debut LP Dance Baby and its a
typically excellent effort from the Hamburg man. Retaining much of the original
but with some carefully added drops, percussive tweaks and an undulating synth
lead/bass he makes it very much his own.
After receiving support from Osunlade, Paul Woolford, Motorcitysoul and Stacey
Pullen for his recent Four:Twenty single, Seulo (aka Jim Rivers) delivers an
equally stellar interpretation of Hit Ze, all shimmering synths and swinging sub
bass. Theres a hugely distinctive rhythm to his remix which makes for infectious
listening, so its another winner for the relatively new alias.
The final remix comes from Four:Twenty new blood Ruthit and is an incredibly
fresh take, marrying dischordant bleeps and keys with gated synths its a
melody-heavy workout which evokes early 1990s acid house in fine style.
Rounding the EP off is another original cut which displays a tougher side to
Wiegand, Sigrun. Rumbling bottom end and organic percussion is all that is
delivered and all that is needed to provide a suitably hefty closer to well
rounded EP.
