n the annals of German techno history of the early 90s, Mannheim's Milk Club was always something like the dirty little brother between Berlin's Tresor and Frankfurt's Omen - not as cocky as the two big siblings, but secretly all the more clever. Less pretentious than the Äppelwoi metropolis, less dirty than the capital and, despite squaring the circle, less straightforward than both together. Instead, they delight with breakdancers of almost Wigan Casino-like elegance. Very British, even in the musical mix of house, techno and breakbeats, breakbeats, breakbeats. A club like a kind of mother raising the nightclubbers with her milk.
Devi g. pay tribute to this club with their MILK EP. on Pudel Produkte.
Devi g. are Dirk Mantei aka Dman (DJ and former manager of the Milk Club) and Oliver Bradford (one half of Thee Church Ov Acid House and resident DJ at the equally legendary Brückenkopf parties in Mainz). Pudel Produkte because, well, Golden Pudel Club - Legend binding.
A four-part promenade mix is on offer that has it all. It contains house, techno and, yes, breakbeats, breakbeats, breakbeats.
There are:
EDEN 123 (SUNDAY CLUB):
a light-footed breakbeat ride across psylocibin-laden summer meadows, driven by pyromaniac shamanistic power.
CLUBBERS PARADISE (BE A CYBERSPACE CADET MIX):
which wraps the rave classic We are i.e. around a sheet metal framework of breakbeats, drenching it in acid-soaked bass waves.
HOLISTIC HEAVEN (INTERNATIONAL):
where vacuum cleaner-carrying milk droids perform unheard-of rituals in the low-frequency forest before one of the finest 303 melodies dissolves everything into bliss.
FREQUENCY OV TRUTH:
which invites you to techno dance with a blunt droning bass drum and then stimulates your ov power with a back and forth twirling acid sequence.
Four tracks that transfer the milk legend into the 21st century with 90s-inspired rave finesse.
Dross for the posse. Or as the connoisseur says: effervescent tablet in the brain, highly recommended!
And did I mention the breakbeats?
