Ikkaku & D-Gelo - Wine

Recording info

Label bosses are back in tandem for the sixth release on Micropunto: Wine EP, which also marks the beginning of Micropunto Schallplatten's vinyl era.

Wine EP started as a back to back game after a spillage incident. Ikkaku and D-Gelo started producing two separate tracks in their respective stations and every half hour they swapped seats, building the tracks as they went along. The result is this musical experiment that sets the trend for all things to come from the Micropunto clan.

'They Spilled Wine On Me' kicks in with a deep lead stab from the catacombs. The elements appear on the scene in a stride to resurface. It goes up then down, left, rigth, it gets dubby, then back in your face.

In 'I Spilled Wine' the beat unfolds steadily like a bulldozer coming up to the surface in search of the true sound. Soon we meet the preacher. With a subtle housy piano lead he puts us in the right track, reminding us that the dance floor is made of sand and we are on the river's bank. Listen to the flow... 'Lord techno, you are my music'.

Originally inspired from a dub tune featuring Ras Ajay from the Spaceship Sound crew in London,
'DubWine' closes the triangle with a huge dub flare. Fat subsonic bass and broad stabs make this track a serious contender on the dub techno charts. It's the producer's blink of respect to the reggae culture that has inspired them all through the years, hence the vinyl release.
