Harthouse Releaseinformation:
Born in Chile and raised in Sweden Alexi Delano started his
musical career in Europe´s North in the 1980s. Soon he discovered the
wide range of various electronic styles and relocated to New York City
in the mid 1990s, seeking new inspirations, gathering different
influences and developing his production skills. The following years
saw him assaulting the world´s dance floors with his new productions
and collaborations with the likes of Jesper Dahlback, Cari Lekebusch,
Lucas Rodenbush or Casey Hogan. After his A.D.N.Y. presents Leiva
album on Plastic City, his 12” “Space for Bass” and the
longplayer opus “Stories of an Alien Brother” on Harthouse, Alexi
comes up there with his groundbreaking “What´s Your Number?” EP
A1: “What´s Your Number? (John Selway Remix)” British Techno
legend John Selway grabs the chance to give “What´s your number?”
a new coat, and he has done a marvellous job by all means. Though the
very own characteristic of the original he succeeds in adding this
unique John Selway flavour he is famous for without loosing the
original´s soul. His interpretation is hypnotising you from the first
second on, always giving you that funky punch from the background,
letting the manipulated vocals fly through your head, slowly building
up getting more and more drive – till you have the ultimate
hypno-Techno-monster – ready to set the floors on fire!
B1: “What´s Your Number? (Alexi Delano´s Lo)” Alexi Delano´s
own interpretation is build on a exquisitely driving bassline, kicking
hard – preparing you for the freaked out leitmotiv. Once heard there
is no chance it would leave your brain again. Shaman Alexi Delano has
kidnapped you for his ritual, no chance to escape his magic of
repetitive hypnotism.
B2: “What´s Your Number? (LP Version)” Last but not least Alexi
is offering you “What´s Your Number?” in the album version,
showing once more that there´s always room for another point of view.
This track is a bit more housy but never the less rocking as hell as
well, not only because of its freaky acid synths. |
