BOXER 077EP
|
In anticipation of a Duoteque retrospective, Boxer Recordings proudly presents this 12" teaser that is truly amazing. Apart from the gorgeous, mind-blowing "Intro" and the vibrant, house-y "Neon," Marascia and The Dolphins make themselves heard with remixes of classic Duoteque hits. Worth mentioning is Duoteque's not-so-secret star: the bass line. It's either fat and mighty, or fluffy and easy-going. And once the spark has ignited the flame, the party is on fire.

No doubt: Dusty Kid's album A Raver's Diary (BOXER 070CD) is among the Boxer catalog's highlights where the most versatile talent from Sardegna proves his excellent skills as "Master of Dramaturgy." However, this album almost makes you forget that he is the other half of Duoteque, a project founded together with Andrea Ferlin, and which has been put on hold since their enormous success in 2007. In the meantime, Ferlin has been busy, too. Together with Francesco Assenza, he has founded another label with the apt title Sleep Is Commercial, has released a number of EPs, and has been DJing at a number of fantastic clubs worldwide. Since 2009, Dusty Kid and Andrea Ferlin have been working together again, and now, in order to adequately celebrate their reunion, Boxer presents a great Duoteque collection on two CDs. Apart from many bonus tracks including some exclusive remixes of Duoteque hits made by Marascia, The Dolphins and Pig & Dan, it is Dusty Kid's Duoteque megamix that may be regarded as the centerpiece of this release. It represents a collection of the best of the complete Duoteque oeuvre, and it is the first time that some of the greatest Boxer releases are now available for non-vinyl spotters, too. Next to all three tracks released on the best-selling Boxer 12" so far -- You Know All About Drags EP -- Dusty Kid adds a number of other jewels to the mix: the spooky spoken-word track "Lola" for example, top tracks such as "Adyra" or "Bilk," and the basement funk of "Amarcord" -- the whole spectrum of Duoteque embedded in a fantastic flow and a variety of layers that once again proves Dusty Kid's narrative skills. An endless cycle of opening and closing spaces, a gradually rising temperature, and percussive workouts are followed by highly inspired space-opera melodies. But Duoteque's (not that) secret star is the bass sound that sometimes comes along deep and mighty, and sometimes in a rather light-footed way. The audience is immersed in the kicking, hypnotizing sounds and breaks that explode right into your face. In the past, every single track already laid waste to dancefloors, and you can imagine what will happen if they're presented in a whole bunch.

Duoteque -- Dusty Kid and Andrea Ferlin -- are back with a new smasher, "Gotcha," its stunning deepness making it a very special floorshaker. On the flip is a Pig & Dan remix of the classic track "Logo."

BOXER 038EP
|
"The two young and lively sunnyboys from Sardegna are producing one hit after another. This time, it's 'Daki Theta.' The original version is charming, cocky and with loads of pop appeal. Enlivened by the sun, the sea and the everlasting party, Duoteque allow a deep insight into their souls. Just perfect! 'Kyra' is a classic disco tech stomper: challenging, full of bass and funky as hell. And at sunset, you will see the seagulls nodding their heads in the picturesque sea landscape...far from having anything to do with bird flu."

"Duoteque! Andrea and Paolo, the two hell-raisers from Sardegna, are exactly what we like. With Leave the Juno Planet they seem to have gotten a taste for it and keep on driving down the road of success. 'Adyra' is a 9-minute trip going deep into and through another world. This track creates a very own psychoactive ambience, yet it is still so easy and fleet-footed that no one will get lost or will even have time enough to get a drink at the bar. Please follow the straight bass drum and see and be amazed what is happening around you and what 'Adyra' is for the senses, 'Amacord' is for the body. If you like, take it as the yin and yang of a 12" maxi single. Here, the white shark meets their earlier hit 'Drug Queen' -- and it is nothing but consequent that this is going to be a life or death battle. And it is nothing but consequent, too, that your role as a gazer turns quickly into the one of a complice. But watch out, don't get caught."

BOXER 031EP

"And this time, Andrea Fearlin and Dusty Kid have produced a stunning first class record. 'Drug Queen' is a real pusher perfect for the prime time, it's the ultimate weapon with a killer bass. At the moment, Michael Mayer, Tiefschwarz and Dominik Eulberg are all playing this track again and again. Whoever thinks that we are exaggerating excessively again we recommend listen to this record very loudly ... really, really loudly! And then, any further comments will surely be unnecessary. Duoteque's second track 'Elektronischze' comes along in a devil-may-care and fresh style and is our insider's tip on the flip side: a deep, smooth, electro-like hit that slowly comes from behind and surprises you at the front. Spiced up with finest vocoder voices, Duoteque have managed to create a bit of '80s retro music that doesn't sound retro at all. Got it? 'Moma' is even deeper, it's more soul, it's more ecstatic."

BOXER 025EP
|
"After the terrific name-dropping on the recent Boxer 'Sport' 12" releases, for example M.A.N.D.Y, Robag Whrume, Tekel and the really hot Dirt Crew, you may now wonder: 'who the hell is Duoteque?' And here comes our immediate answer: Duoteque is Andrea Fearlin and Dusty Kid, two Italians from Sardinia. Sounds charming, dreamy and idyllic, doesn't it? But that's what it is, indeed. The minimal tech house sounds they present us with EP One/ Boxer 025 are fresh and easy going: whizzing high-heads, whispers and words, deepest bass lines and most unusual sounds. After you have listened to the record for the first time, you will think of one only word to describe it: trippy."
