Review

Nicone are back on Stil vor Talent! After the huge success of the weirdly tripping minimal summer anthem that was “Una Rosa", here comes “Abayomi". And again, it is the wonderful combination of Lexy’s production skills and musical intuition combined with the voice of the lovely Narra that make this track describable by two words only: simply beautiful. On the A side there is their very own remix of the title track. A sample-based pumping loop that keeps on building up with its effect-laden sample library. Add a funky bassline to this and the African-sounding vocals by Narra: the result is a wonderfully original minimal piece of techno. On the flip, the Swiss duo that is Animal Trainer take on the original title to turn it into a house anthem par excellence. Some warm stabs, the cutting-up of the original vocal and many percussive beat effects: this is a journey into house. Hi-Hats, many snares and so much musical history are built into this, it will keep everyone nodding their heads on the dancefloor. Last up is the real original track by Nicone. This is even more stripped down than their own remix. Great soulful singing in a choir of voices that seem to call upon the goddess of beat. And they get it: a super sweet warm minimal sound and some strong clicks and clacks. this is as good as it gets! Once again Nicone show that they can turn any dancefloor into an African-like rejoicing choir. They take inspiration from two different worlds and one thing becomes clear: be it the real jungle or the jungle that is nightlife, everybody will be united by the beat!
