Sales Information

A twinkle, a spark, and there you have it. Many will say they saw it coming. At some point you could no longer
ignore the signs, and actually you'd suspected it all along: glamour is back in the club. Berlin has become what
New York was in 1981 and Aérea Negrot is the Eartha Kitt of the post-techno age. As part of Hercules & Love
Affair, perhaps the most enigmatic disco-ball band of the present day, the Venezuelan disco diva has tackled
issues of gender code through a four-four discourse and convinced the world that a slick performance under a
strobe light can outdo than anything that has appeared in the light of day. Now - as a taste of what's to come
on her album next year - she is releasing her first EP on BPitch...
All I Wanna Do
By cleverly combining the roles of artist, artwork and muse, she evades any attempt at pigeon-holing and
transcends her own persona with the rasping soul in her voice to become an icon of the new Berlin underground.
“All I wanna do is sing and let my brain fuck my emotions.” This is what we've been waiting for. Such an arty
approach, such a killer execution. For an opera diva with this kind of pounding synth in her armoury, boundaries
are only there to be danced over. This is eclecticism as dirty and playful as you could possibly like. It's as if ESG
just wandered into Berghain by mistake.
Hair
Women and their hair - a timeless topic. Especially when the problem is posed in a manner which recognizes
its significance in terms of forming identity. Personality begins on the head. Anyone who refuses to stick with
one style and opts for change and variation knows about the multiplicity of options and has seen that the grass
is always greener on the other side. “Every normal woman on earth should complain about her hair.” With a latent
hysteria detectable in the synth melody and a nervous Dionysian chorus in the background, the problem is
explored in its metaphysical dimension. This finally results in a song surrounded by theatrical gestures and
spiritual invocation which, despite its transcendental weight, click-clacks along with a relaxed and funky demeanour.
All I Wanna Do (Efdemin Remix)
Efdemin carves these tracks into a dark, glistening sculpture with a glowing heart and powerful shoulders bearing
the dust of a motor city from days gone by. The softly sparkling synths, the subtly slowed-down vocal sample
and the piercing high-hat. Everything has its proper place. Wherever you look, your eyes are met with reduced
elegance, noble simplicity and serene grandeur. This is Detroit classicism at its most impressive.
Hair (tobias. Remix)
“Burn my head.” Of course, tobias. picks the catchiest vocal snippet of all and underpins it in his inimitable
manner with a restless synth loop which is capable of carrying this subtle techno masterpiece throughout the
entire track. Nevertheless, the drifting waves of tragedy and monumental peak of the original still have pride of
place in this remix. After all, this is still opera, even though the fizzing hi-hat and reverb promise us the subtlest
form of techno. This is a track to prove that what Wagner described as the “total work of art” still functions best
between the rusty steel bars of East Berlin's 20-meter-high factory spaces.
