Review

If W.I.R. is a country this track is its capital: MINILOGUE’s AHCK, formerly the first release of the label and a not so secret hit on the floors, it’s been winding itself into the hearts and brains of the crowd. This deserves some great remix work as every founding myth needs its interpretation to stay alive. Newcoming talent KAB shows some severe skills with a tight remix that keeps MINILOGUES hooklines in shape but introduces them to its unique world of magical flow while pulling off the impossible: he creates a masterbuilder being tense and tender at the same time. JICHAEL MACKSON on the other hand constructs a relaxed groove rich in texture, pushing the sounds further and further until the final climax while tracing the original material rather emotionally then rationally. MINILOGUE themselves round off the package with a beautifully dashed ambient version that makes this 12” a weapon of choice for every task imaginable during those nights that we love to remember.

WIR008 in the media

Alex Kid (F-Comm): “ I really like the EP. Remixes aare really good. Will play this”

Alland Byallo(Liebe Detail, D: “ Love the Jichael Mackson remix. File under "cant file this under...". Bits from Jichael's Phlegma made me happy, with the filtered funk undertones to step it up... this remix made me smile. Definately the highlight of this release.”

Chloe Thevenin ( Kill The DJ): “very good Kab remix, i ll play it for sure thanks”

Chris Carrier: “I like the Jichael Mackson remix, nice old basic channel sound”

Cio DÒR: “ Jichael Mackson Remix dubbiger subtilburner zum abheben: der sommer kann kommen! passt in mein sommerset! B1: MINILOGUE's friendly ghost Remix ambiente entführung in die unterwelt.”

DE:BUG (GER): “Die A-Seite bekommt KAB, wer auch immer das sein mag, und schafft es sich in die Herzen all derer zu pumpen, die schwere aber zeitlos endlose Tracks lieben in denen die schwelende Melodie einen so tragenden Faktor übernimmt, dass darüber selbst kleine Funksoli klingen wie aus der übervollen Seele gesprudelt. Da kann Buttrich einpacken. Der Jichael Mackson Remix hat eine - höchst sympathische - Macke und lässt die Groove mal wieder ganz ganz lange im Nebel, wirkt aber dadruch nur noch intensiver und zuletzt gibt es noch einen Minilogue Downtempo Mix der voller Spannung glüht. bleed •••••”

Groove Magazin (GER): “Minilogue Remixe des Killer Tracks, der Minilogue bei vielen ins Hirn tätowiert hat und der den Start des WIR-Labels markierte. KAB alias Karl-Axel Bissler, ebenfalls aus Schweden und seit Anfang der 90er u.a. auf Novamute aktiv, macht den Anfang, kann aber leider nicht an das Original herankommen. Er versinkt in einem gemächlichen Remix, an dem das Beste die aufblitzenden Sequenzen des Originals sind. Besser ist Jichael Mackson, der an einer experimentellen Dubversion des Tracks feilt. Minilogues eigener Edit hat was von einer Free-Jazz Dub-Version. Rar ”

Jochen Ditschler (Groove Mag G: “(...)Schließlich haben sich die Theorem-artige deepness des Dubshuffle der KAB-Version von Ahck sowie die gewinkelten "Trance"-Arpeggios der original Version von Polyfemos definitiv einen Ehrenplatz in meinem DJ-Case verdient ... LG jd ”

Karotte: “der kab rmx ist ganz ganz toll für die morgenstunden. guter rmx.”

Kicki (B-pitch): “Love the dubby landscapes on the jichael mackson remix!”

Laurent Garnier (f-Com): “llooovvveeelllyyyyy great stuff”

Mark Henning(Found Sounds/Mos: “ The Jichael Mackson remix is cool - I'll play that.. ”

Philip Sherburne (XLBR Mag USA: “the jichael mackson mix is proof that people need to start paying attention to this guy -- which north americans will have the chance to do at mutek! such a seamless collision of dub techno and a nearly trancey sensibility. stoner music at its best. i had the honor to play with this guy after sonar last year and this mix totally captures what was so amazing about his live set -- constantly undulating and shapeshifting. that's the highlight of the EP for me...”

Prins Thomas (Full Pupp): “ damn damn damn.....love the jichael mackson mix on this... boris is a producer I just recently discovered and for each new thing I hear him do his position as one to watch is further established... a beautiful blend of elegant pads, skippy beats and both feet firmly planted in D.I.S.C.O.....the futuristic kind anyway ; ) the overall sound on this is so wet I'll be wearing my swim suit while playing this.... minilogue and kab mixes are both good in each their own way ”

Spencer Parker (Rekids): “ ahck was a HUUUUGE rec for me,”

Tom Wax: “Der Jichael Mackson Remix der Minilogue ist der Wahnsinn! Erinnert an alte Basic Channel Tracks! ”
