Cosmobox Direct DownloadsReturning to the Kompakt fold after the much-acclaimed 12″ releases TRAUERMUSIK (KOMPAKT 149) and TELESCOPE (KOMPAKT 171), Ewan Pearson and Al Usher aka PARTIAL ARTS continue their adventure in the borderlands of kraut disco and romantic house: with TAIFA, the two renowned producers present another wonderfully undulating, pop-bred jam backed up by a vibrant floor rework from the master of analogue head games Andrew Meecham aka EMPEROR MACHINE. TAIFA starts off with a somewhat oceanic feeling, thanks to its opening set of sunny guitar licks glistening to the backdrop of whale-like drones. Soon, a friendly shaking beat joins the proceedings and triggers all kinds of melodic synth flourishings, held together by the cut’s rolling groove and its penchant for sonic metamorphosis. Just like the Radioslave and Alter Ego revamps (on “Trauermusik” and “Telescope”) before it, the EMPEROR MACHINE EXTENDED MIX takes things in a decidedly energetic direction, making skilled use of hypnotic sequencing and charged drumming to rough up the original’s laid-back vibe in the most alluring manner.
