Tiefschwarz--Fabric29

Tiefschwarz (Jet Black for English-speaking types) is the alias for Ali and Basti Schwarz, two brothers who have been addicted to the club-scene ever since the age of 17.Engulfed in Berlin’s counter-culture, the brothers in black took a break from promoting acts like Mike Dunn and Tony Humphries to create their own little remix masterpiece of house beats. Fabric29 is a beast at just over 70 minutes of techno influenced electronic joyrides. The majority of the songs contain steady beats that will have no problem persuading your feet out onto the dance floor, but that’s just the foundation for Tiefschwarz’s music. Layered on top are groovy little pop and fizzes, fancy tricks that "make you laugh out loud on a dancefloor." Especially good are the oriental effects in Night on Earth’s "Rondell." Interestingly a dubbed version of Depeche Mode’s "John the Revelator" appears as well, a springy fast-paced remix perfectly suited for the dance floor. Tiefschwarz’s "Damage (M.A.N.D.Y. Remix)" is one of the best, a quirky little unique jive that breaks away from the traditional bass beat of the other tracks and even intertwines light vocals over the electronic effects. Better yet, Tiefschwarz are just great to dance to, which is the main point of this whole deal. If you’re not in a situation where you can hop a jet to Berlin to see these brothers live in action, this is the next best thing. Check it out!
