Review

2 OF THE MOST IN DEMAND FINNS ON THE PLANET JOIN FORCES FOR THIS FIRST RELEASE FROM THE FORTHCOMING SASSE ALBUM “MADE WITHIN THE UPPER STAIRS OF HEAVEN” RELEASED IN APRIL ON MOODMUSIC. SASSE AND KIKI (B PITCH CONTRIL) ARE ALREADY KNOWN E ON MOODMUSIC AS 2 DAWGS “LOOSING TOUCH” WAS AN INSTRUMENTAL TRACK TO BEGIN WITH BEFORE KIKI WROTE THE LYRICS FOR THIS FUTURE CLASSIC. THE SONG STARTS WITH MORODER ALIKE BASSLINE BEFORE THE SWEET BUT DOWNRIGHT MEAN VOCALS FROM KIKI KICKS IN, FOLLOWED BY MORE DARK ITALO FLAVOURED SYNTHLINES AND PADS BEFORE FINALLY REACHING A CLIMAX OF HUMOUNGOUS PROPOTIONS AFTER THE BREAK. KIKI DELIVERS THE VOCAL IN A DARK MANNER WHERE YOU ACTUALLY ASK YOURSELF IS THIS THE KIKI WE KNOW.. SCARY !ALLREADY ON HEAVY ROTATION BY EWAN PEARSON, TIEFSCHWARZ, … WILL BE BIG!

DJ MAG 01.2006-SUREPLAYER!!: “Sasse gears up for his debut album with one of the first great dance records of 2006. Borrowing from the sleazy stance of Gigolos electro, the gurgling fluidity of classic acid trax and the displaced spaceyness of Italo’s dark side, Kiki’s pained vocals lend the track a drugged out weirdness as they accompany the most strangely euphoric synth progression you’ll hear this side of Vangelis. Trackhead DJs may favour the instrumental version, where the focus is on tight claps and warbling 303s, but the uneasy combination on the original mix makes it most compelling. Richard Brophy”

GROOVE MAGAZINE 03/04.2006: “Gekonnt eingesetzte, modulierte Arpeggio-Hooks und verführerische hohe Flächen sind die Mittel, mit denen die zwei Finnen Sasse und Kiki ihre Kooperation „Loosing Touch“ zu einem betörenden Electro-House-Hit machen, den allein seine Glattheit etwas unpersönlich macht. Als erstes Release von Sasses viertem Album war „Loosing Touch“ ursprünglich als Instrumental geplant, die interessantere Version kommt nun aber mit Kikis, hier sehr dunklen, Vocals. Wer drauf einsteigt, hebt ab.”

TRAX MAGAZINE FRANCE 02.2006: “Une boucle synthétique sous l¹influence directe de Giorgio Moroder, un groove électro-disco moderne à la Metro Area. ³Loosing Touch², quintessence du type de morceau qui en rappelle beaucoup d¹autres sans que ce soit un problème. Pourquoi ? Parce que c¹est bien fait. (GD)”
