DOWNLOAD: GummiHz - Desire
The criticisms of techno are easy to list: it's too robotic, too sexy, too evil. It sounds like it was made by a machine. Hell, a few years back, I was ironically given a T-shirt that said "God Hates Techno" with a little smiling Zeus-cloud on it. I love that shirt.
GummiHz is not here to humanify electronic beat music. GummiHz (aka Greek-born Alexander Tsotsos) is not shooting for "organic" or "warm." He is compelled by the machine, in the way Kraftwerk became "The Robots", Metropolis-style, Trojan horse type-shit. "Desire" is everything rockists hate about techno--it is most certainly robotic, it turns girls on and it's pretty much straight-up evil.
GummiHz mixed the latest label compilation for Mobilee (who offered us Cardini on Monday), which is srsly becoming the go-to label for lights-off dancefloor orgies. From Pan-Pot's cocaine anthem "Charly" to the productions of super-cool babe/label boss Anja Schneider, Mobliee knows how to do minimal right: put a sick, serpentine groove over nasty, acidic snyths and let everyone work it out.
