Modeselektor’s label provides a neat soundtrack for two sides of clubbing on its latest release. “Oben” (German for upper floor) is built for the kind of peak-time action its title suggests and sees Fjaak let loose with a slamming, relentless rhythm, heavy drums and a cut-up of the “Amen” break, while a detached vocal witters away in the background. By contrast, “Unten”, which is German for ‘bottom’ – or, in this context, ‘the basement’ – is more considered. Cavernous, spacious kicks and heavy claps provide the basis for a chord sequence that flits and floats through the arrangement as randomly as conversations at an after party.
