Kante On Acid (Acid Pauli Remixes)

Description

What a sweet and unlikely surprise: 25 years after the release of "Die Summe der einzelnen Teile" by Kante, Acid Pauli delivers a bomb of a remix. His uptempo techno version turbocharges the Hamburger Schule classic - a German song that ponders the wonders of making music: "in some moments, for a while, it emerges as more than the sum of its parts". Acid Pauli first dropped the unreleased track in his live sets and his Pingipung Podcast (#175), and when he asked Kante what they thought about the dopamine-drenched rendering of their pop hit from 2000 in his DJ mix, thumbs and smiles went up all around. When it turned out that Acid Pauli had even another Kante edit up his sleeve, this 7" single quickly found its shape. On the B side he marries his kick drums to the slow, yearning California from Kante's 1997 debut album "Zwischen den Orten". So here it is: Pingipung proudly presents Kante on Acid - two bangers for the festival season that take us back to the roots of Hamburg's pop music, refracted by Acid Pauli's characteristically energetic, psychedelic groove. Kante: A one-of-a-kind band blending Hamburger Schule with jazz, post-rock and indie elements, known for their expressive, melancholic lyrics. With albums like Zwischen den Orten, Zweilicht, Zombi and Die Tiere sind unruhig, they became one of the most distinctive voices in German-language pop around the turn of the millennium. Acid Pauli: Synonymous with an eclectic approach to electronic culture, Acid Pauli (aka Martin Gretschmann) has spent over two decades exploring psychedelic, adventurous music off the mainstream paths. He is equally at home performing at techno clubs in New York or Ibiza as he is producing radio plays and writing film scores
