(playgroup Remix) Techno As It Should Be, A Dark, Avant-garde Battle Between Technology And Emotion!
Wiser in his ways and better able to express himself, on the first half of Teufelswerk he (Hell) and Peter Kruder compose an hour of lush, shimmering kosmische." Uncut Magazine 4/5. The jury is out, the verdict is passed, Teufelswerk is guilty on all charges of Excellence and with this in mind we return to the 'Day' portion of the two CD album for the new single 'Hells Kitchen.'
"Techno as it should be, a dark, avant-garde battle between technology and emotion." The Guardian Newspaper. Unraveling with sinuous grace this is Hell's enchanting interpretation of Kosmische Musik music, but constructed for the environs of the nightclub. As both a DJ and Producer Hell's approach to music is to craft something of simplistic and minimal design, which is both sexy and erotic but at the same time able to apply some heat to the dance-floor. Hells Kitchen' is a testament to this approach and in this sense is nothing more then a Tour De Force, which should be revered and envied in equal measure.
Such bold statements often need credible evidence, as such we would like to present the Playgroup remix. Weighing in at 18 minutes it would appear that like a battle between good and evil Trevor Jackson aka Playgroup struggled between pleasure or pain, agreement or disagreement, complacency or triumph. Weaving in and around it self, revering the hooks of the original, whilst introducing an intoxicating groove that never leaves you. Both Hell and Trevor Jacksons, aka Playgroup, share a very similar history as both artist and label owners (Trevor Jackson started Output records: Fridge, The Rapture, LCD Soundsystem, Black Strobe). Their aesthetics are very similar and as such both the original and the remix compliment the package perfectly. In the words of Piers Martin "Prepare to be moved, deeply."
