Review

Famous and feared German actor Klaus Kinski, now defunct, once described the jungle as an obscene display of nature, and somehow one gets the feeling that upcoming Italian producer Fausto Messina has seen the movie too. After the gigantic success he found with the co-produced „Compulsive Disorder“, which made it right into the playlist from Sven Väth, he apparently reorganized his aesthetics, not to get keen on the next chainsaw massacre but to let nature grow as it was meant to be. Entwined drum patterns and chirring hi-hats adorn his psychedelically detailed symphonies straight outta the jungle, always promoting something new, surprising and flowing. A nightclub-kinda swing employs obscure folklorist instruments, creating a techno, that oscillates between samba and javanaise, sweaty and dirty, as the sound of the green hell should be. The WIR newbie constantly discovers new animals and future medicamentation in the smallest corners, but still manages to map the heaven above the flora, describing it as huge waves of sound that break sthrough the treetops. This is the Indiana Jones of contemporary electronics, not just some Lucialobos Rip-Off, as he’s using the machete in his own way. Just be careful not to stumble over the vines… they’re quite dangerous.

WIR014 in the media

Chaim Avital (Cocoon/Supplemen: “ Facts: this one is a great release... really cool sexy latin minimal deepness. will play it for sure ”

Claudia P.Toile (Trenton/Moth: “good release .. good choice of the label. ”

D'julz (Pokerflat): “i love this, charted!”

Daniel Faulwasser [Moon Harbou: “ totally my thing. i love it.”

Dj Mag (UK): “Really strong release on WIR. "Ibz ventiquattro Sette" is without doubt hugely influenced by the likes of Villalobos and Luciano with its warm latin, percussive feel. Minute percussive elements get things going before a huge thudding kickdrum enter the fray. A flute solo creeps in which shouts summer time all over it. Surely this will be a hit in clubs like DC10, Cocoon and over the summer. "Diboneg" is much the same, slightly lighter but still containing enough energy for the floor.”

Dj Misk (AltroVerso / Italy): “nice tunes. both melodic and sensual. good work.”

Fra Soler Ferenc (Kompakt): “Siboney is a very good track! will play it out”

James Priestley (secretsundaze: “a really cool record - sounds like it's been lovingly crafted with sweat and tears fighting off the jungle fauna. respect. both sidea are compelling - will try to find a time to play one day..”

Jamie Jones (Crosstown Rebels_: “Just when i though i was getting tired of ethnic samples, this is subtly done. will play both sides. awesome stuff..”

jeff samuel (poker flat, trape: “ "siboney" is a good atmospheric track, nice work.”
