After Take 1 comes Take 2, it sometimes really is that simple. Together with the Pre-Take that came out before the summer this third volume in WPHs Our Beat Is Still New project completes the 12 tracks that form the album. More members of the core WPH family are on board here, but we also welcome some newcomers to the label.
Sales Information:
The A-side opens up with what we have always considered to be the Dresden counterpart to WPH, the Uncanny Valley family of Jacob Korn, Credit 00 and Sneaker. With ‘Drum Abuse’ the provide the roughest track of the compilation, and one that will have techno DJ’s play new beat again… The second track on the A-side comes courtesy of Jacques Renault & Mark Verbos aka Goodnight Moon, giving a serious New York rendition of new beat.
On the B-side we have Social Disco Club and Outlander, both no strangers to WPH, and both very much on point again here. Social Disco Club marries his trademark deep house sound with a new beat feel, and Outlander was pretty much there when new beat started, so he provides us with vintage machine slowness straight from new beat heaven.
Is this the end of it? Well, you either know WPH or you don’t…
DJ / Press Quotes
Axel Boman: AB Theme - Axel Boman Theme???? Can it be so??? I love it! That song by Max Erotic is making me so wet as well... And that fat Outlander track! I’m very happy that you make this nice tribute to the wonderfully weird and chunky piece of musical history that is new beat.
