C.A.R.s release has been a long time coming and is the first collaboration between those evil twins that are LDDLM and KILL THE DJ, two labels joined at the hip. The release comes with remixes from Roman Flugel, Planningtorock and Manfredas.
C.A.R. is Chloe Raunet’s project, whose album MY FRIEND will be released on October 28th on KTDJ. She originally wrote the lyrics for Gesaffelstein, who turned them down in favour of another two tracks they’d done together. A new song was woven from the words.
Roman Flugel is not only an old friend of the family but also one of our favourite producers. His album on DIAL and recent remixes have proven that he’s on the top of his game. There are bleeps, there are subs, and Chloe’s vocal drifting on top of a general electronic monster.
Kill the DJ commissioned the Planningtorock remix and C.A.R loved it so much that she “stole it’ for herr vinyl release. Jam has made the song hers, pitching down the vocal, punking up the bass grove and adding, yes, disco strings.
Manfredas remix of Angelina has been Ivan’s biggest record for the whole of last year, licensed by Rebolledo for his mixed CD and causing stir here and there. The 12″ will include the instrumental version.This is a very hard track to describe, a cross between a panzer and Rondo Veneziano on acid. It’s for those who dare.
Finally, Robert Johnson and Hinvern new wunderkid, Benedikt Frey (his Blanc 002 was…) delivers a brilliant acid rendering but not a cliché plastic warehouse track which consistently builds throughout.
The EP has already been getting great support from Dixon, Dan Avery, Erol Alkan, Ten Walls, and Ivan Smagghe..
