The selection process for the Live At Robert Johnson mix series has been
flawless so far û with the renowned venue in Offenbach, Germany enlisting Prins
Thomas to mix up some delectable disco, Roman æAlter EgoÆ Flugel to present
his uniquely bleepy new school techno vision and Parisian Chloe to select
refined house cuts on the inaugural volume. The choice of Arto Mwambe for the
sixth volume seems a perfect fit; Christian Beisswenger and Phillip Lauer have
made some serious remixes in recent times which have keenly blurred the lines
between house and disco. ItÆs worth mentioning their Friendly Fires remix which
in retrospect is much more impressive than AeroplaneÆs ubiquitous effort.
Those with good hearing cannot fail to be impressed by the clutch of Arto
Mwambe releases on their own Brontosaurus imprint either. The Frankfurt duo
provide one of the best mixes in the series to date, eschewing the chance to
show off their record collections in favour of staying true to the album title
and recording a one hour live set of existing and unreleased Arto Mwambe
tracks. The distinctive clap of the Roland drum beating out over hypnotic
chords on the intro track ôM.T.A.I.ö sets the mood for what follows û vintage
house sounds that veer between classic 90s percussion, deep melodies that draw
you in, warm basslines that sit in your cranium and rhythms that set you off.
What strikes you as the last kicks of closing track ôBTWOö sound out is how
well the eleven tracks flow, the mixing is perfectly judged and you are left
with nothing but a craving to witness them repeat it in a club setting. Mission
accomplished then.
