Release Notes :
No time to take a breather, no time for a contemplative chill session the second
edition of BPitch Controls Werkschau (Showcase) compilation is about to hit the
shelves! In line with the overall BPitch Showcase concept, the new release is in
no way just another run-of-the-mill compilation of best-of tracks, but rather a
selection of extraordinary and highly functional club gems that represent
BPitchs harmonious concept as perfectly as they demonstrate its musical breadth.
The most noticeable characteristics the three extended versions share are their
vocal presence and the extremely distinctive way that the artists make use of
language and voice. In contrast, the fact that the EP is perfectly arranged for
the dance floor comes across as almost a matter of course, and every track
exhibits this inherent feeling in equal parts with it truly coming to life in
Cormacs "The Present", which opens the albums A-Side.
Even if the Irishman (who spends most of his time London) can still be
considered an insiders tip, his appearance on Showcase is well-deserved as a
resident at the legendary Fabric Club in London and a member of the WetYourSelf
Crew, the baseline juggler has carved out a wide area for himself between House
and Techno and has gained highly-respectable DJ and producer skills. His
releases on WYS and Memo are now even being remixed by Miss Kittin and Chris
Liebig. In The Present, Cormac delivers outstanding vocals that he uses for the
tracks hook and atmosphere, uniting them perfectly with the calm and powerfully
pulsating Techhouse beat which, similar to a gigantic spiral, focuses the
listeners senses on exactly one spot the dance floor!
AΘrea Negrot has made a name for herself as a performer and singer with Hercules
and Love Affair. She opens the Flip-side with one of the most unusual and unique
tracks on the Showcase compilation and quite possibly in BPCs entire catalog.
AΘrea Negrot who has Venezuelan roots but lives in Berlin presents her
fervently-stated, tongue-in-cheek desire "Deutsche (zu) Werden", (to become
German) in the form of a skillfully executed balancing act between an
experimental track done just for the fun of it and a completely danceable
Electro beat. Old-school sounds form the crisp, dry flow and collide with
bizarre, distorted vocals which together enter into a one-of-a-kind liaison.
Kiki has been one of BPitchs regulars right from day one. Two incredible albums
in the joint gravitational field of House and Techno, countless 12-inch singles,
remixes, and a collaboration with Silversurfer are the notable points in his
success story. "Morning Maniacs" is his first collaboration with Philipp Lenz
(under the fairly obvious name Kiki & Lenz). The vocals, in the form of an
extremely compelling looped sample, play an important role in this track as
well, and are responsible for the lions share of the tracks high-energy
atmosphere, together with the house piano (which has a jazzy touch to it) and
the hugely powerful, clashing hi-hat.
