You know this feeling, too? You are listening to a song and even though you can’t tell the reason: It’s just grooving like hell! Well, this phenomenon is commonly described as understatement and what mister Douglas Greed from the small East German town of Jena delivered as a kick-off track for the newest Acker record, is a perfect example for it: The almost tool-like “78Straight” comes along very unobtrusive but still absolutely irresistible. In case of the summery “Western Hives” it is much more clear which way the groove is blowing, that of the fluffy xylophone sounds namely. But still the actual thrust perfidiously sneaks up one’s back while listening… The two local Mecklenburg boys Schaeufler & Zovski rearranged this track with emphasis on extensive percussion entries and turned it into a very sexy and sweaty atmosphere. And what’s this? Laid-back, with a grin from ear to ear and a cheerful melody on its lips: Of course, it is the Mollono.Bass remix that again changes the pace of “Western Hive” completely!
