FUNK GADGET
‘BLAH BLAH’ EP – 12-inch white vinyl
[Slidebar Recordings, Germany]
REMIXES BY SI BEGG, DAVE TARRIDA, PATRICK PULSINGER + PAUL BIRKEN
Funk Gadget is a silly side-project I do for noisier electro/dubstep/cut-up stuff.
So, when granted the insane opportunity to conjure up a record for Kitty Corner's sister imprint Slidebar Recordings (and this lovely white vinyl one at that), I decided to bring along a few of my like-minded mates: Si Begg (Mosquito/Tresor), Patrick Pulsinger (Cheap/Disko B), Dave Tarrida (Tresor/Musick) and Paul Birken (Bonus Round/Tonewrecker).
This baby's coming out this month (February 2010), but you can check out sneak preview sample sounds (and pre-order the vinyl, if it's your cuppa tea) here:
"Nice one on the vinyl release! Liking this Si track.. espesh the 2nd half of it *BEEEEP* Will play for sure as soon as vinyl is available!" JEROME HILL (DON'T RECORDINGS)
"Great quality remix by Pulsinger!" KEN ISHII
"Will be playing the Birken remix out, bro! Quirky and up my alley." ROMAN ZAWODNY
"The Paul Birken remix is some serious filthy shit! Loved it. Real dirty tech house. Love the dirty stuff. And the glitch is spot on. They all sound wicked!! Got to say Tarrida's is my fave, but they are all sweat-inducing! Ya must be stoked!" BEN MILL (BITCH SHIFT)
"I always liked the original but the Pulsinger remix is definitely TOP CLASS!!!!!" CLAUDE YOUNG
"Nice job on the remix by Pulsinger! Funky jack." WYNDELL LONG (PRO-JEX/PEACEFROG/DJAX)
"Mate ...it's quality!!! Awesome stuff! What can I say? I don't think I've ever had such a great bunch of promos as these! Rest assured I will be playing these out a lot! Si Begg at his best if you ask me!" MIKE HOLMES
"Just checked out the Si Begg, sounded very good! The man has the automation down." CHRIS SATTINGER
"Dropped the original and Si Begg remix in a set last night, and both went down a treat!!" ANDREW STRATTON (KODA/ELEKTRAX)
"I do like the quirkiness of the Si Begg, but I love the bassline on the DaveTarrida mix." TONY IRVINE (3PBS-FM)
"Wow, Si Begg's gone mental on this one, i think he enjoyed working on the
remix, nice and funky!!!" DJ HI-SHOCK (ELEKTRAX)
"Ohhh, lurvely! Pleez let me know when the vinyl is available, I don't care how much, I want some vinyl." EVAN JOHN CARR (3PBS FM)
"Nice. Love it. Keep 'em coming." CUZNMATT (MORE BASS)
"Wow. Love the electro like feel to this Birken's and the 909 cow bell; nice dirty grind to it, strong kick/bass combo blow to the head. I love the dirty synths and it has a nice jazz like feel... But that dirty horn-like sound kicks major arse... I am break dancing..." V1NZ (PROPER NYC/ELEKTRAX)
"Sounding great, all the gurgling trademark Birken sounds present and correct!" LUKE'S ANGER (DON'T/BONUS ROUND/TIGERBASS)
"The Patrick Pulsinger remix sounds very cool." THOMAS JALDEMARK (DONK BOYS)
"Very nice mixes." STEVE LAW (ZEN PARADOX)
