Here comes a Highgrade split EP. Marcus Homm and Ludwig Coenen share the honours on one record, and instead of competing for the glory, both producers compliment each other perfectly. Markus Homm, the global player, starts off as assured as ever with another great track. “Golden Glow” rolls towards a dramatic stage for hysteria. Homm takes the listener in with a heavy and richly sweet narrative style. “Matches” brings even more excitement, pushing forward with brilliantly entangled sounds that hit you more in the hips than the stomach, telling a tale of promise in the early morning hours. Ludwig Coenen, the man from infamous Frankfurt, brings dancing into the realms of the zoo! With “It’s Not a Zoo” he manages to combine various sounds into a funky and functional harmony. The second track “Mind Your Head” breaks the standard mould and uses a broad sound palette to construct a new and unique field of maximum funk. In addition to the vinyl record, we get three more great digital tracks from both of the boys. Homm shows on “Upper Deck” and “Victoria Harbour” his consistency and quality. Distinct and clearly defined sounds without any excess baggage. Coenen’s contribution “Gardenstate” also delivers the elements that make his tracks so special. Twisted complexity that comes from way down deep. |

De:Bug Magazin: “Die A-Seite von Homm kommt mit einem funkigen deepen Track ins Rollen, der sich langsam über seine fast albernen dubbig summenden Chords aufwärmt und dreht dann auf "Matches" mit einem fast hysterischen Housesound auf, während Ludwig Coenen auf "It's Not A Zoo" den abstrakteren Funk in den Vordergrund stellt und hinter dem slammenden Sound immer mehr Spleen entdecken lässt und auf "Mindyourhead" diesen Sound dann ins deepe wandelt. Für mich herausragend, vor allem "It's Not A Zoo".” Giles Smith (secretsundaze): “Golden glow has a solid groove” Jan Kühn Berlin Mitte Institut: “Toole Platte! 3 Tracks davon spiel ch gerade immer wieder. Danke!” Karotte (CocoonGreat Stuff): “in my november top 10. markus is one of the best producers for me at the moment. i love his tracks.” Nori Kawai Posivision mag (JP): “nice groove! galant!!” |
