Gullah Go-Go Ep

Someone Else + Miskate // Foundsound Records
Format // 12"
some folks have wondered if someone else and miskate are actually the same person. the answer is no. however, he and she indeed live together and share a recording studio. and collectively, they find great pleasure in gathering field recordings and found sounds, and then transforming them into some sort of idiosyncratic, conceptual techno. foundsound-01 ("rip it cookie muenster ep") was the duo's debut release, and it garnered an ass-load of recognition for their new label, foundsound. the couple returns with two dancefloor crushers that carry a soulful undertone while fueled predominantly by snippy samples of gullah vocals from usa's southern region. on the a-side -- "dee gullah go-go" -- some funky-ass minimal house carries you through a collage of squeaky photo copy machines, ringing cell phones, clickity-clackity percussion, stabbing synths, along with brilliantly sliced and diced female vocals both spoken and sung -- causing your heart to bounce merrily around your chest until your slithery body is forced uncontrollably onto its feet. while still being just as druggy and reverb-heavy as other tracks that you may know from these two producers, this one offers a chicago house undercurrent while remaining experimentally abstract and guaranteed to make a packed dancefloor scream. the b-side -- "no catfish (whoop whoop)" -- offers a tracky dj tool for minimal techno djs with a loopy, sub-heavy bassline and a snappy snare. meanwhile, your mind and body are carried by an elaborate arrangement of found sounds that playfully dance around the repetitive rhythms. this is another druggedout crowd-pleaser to say the least -- chopped male and female vocals soulfully poke and plunder amidst goofy whistling, the rhythmic sound of typing on the keyboard, meticulously carved reverbs, and a breakdown that'll put a smile on your face. come and get it. whoop whoop!
