Forty-One Spalding

Once more, Niko and Tobias have switched on their equipment to produce another deep 4-track EP titled "Forty-One Spalding". It concludes a period of 3 years in which these tracks have travelled between Augsburg, Frankfurt and Hamburg to finally find their way to black gold. "Forty-One Spalding" is the youngest track on the record and was produced in order to mark the end of Tobias' long-lived flat-sharing community which was located at the Spaldingstraße in Hamburg. It opens the 12" with a lot of drive and touching harmony changes. The hands should go up by the moment when the hi-hats enter. "Info View" is an introverted piece of music whose subsonic bass line builds up a lot of energy and keeps the tension until the end. The title of "Drunk On Beauty" is a reference to a wonderful song by Butterfly Child but also reveals the influence of that bottle of beer. Driven by the latter, the two of them are cruising on slight oldschool paths from Chicago via Detroit to Cologne. "FFM by Night" tops off this nice 4-tracker and was recorded during the first nights after Niko's move to Maintal. Just wallow in the sunset or sunrise in the beautiful landscape of the Frankfurt area. Absolutely gorgeous!
