HEYREC 015EP
|
"With this 12", Hey-o-Hansen conclude their series of 6 12"s all produced in 2006. Even now our Afro alpine heroes find themselves moving ahead into new spaces opened up by developments in dubstep. Featuring 'Eiríkur Orri' from Iceland's Múm on space trumpet and Dirk von Lowtzow of Tocotronic/Phantom/Ghost on vocals with lyrics drawn from Carl Gustav Jung's Septem Sermones ad Mortuos. (1916). This is the last vinyl release of the collector's series 'Hey-o-Hansen -- The '06 Singles.' And is nothing less than Hey-o-Hansen's answer record to the bass poetry of Kode9's '9 Samurai.'"

Subtitled: A Journey Into Berlin's Afro-Alpin-Dubstep-Killersound. "All you dubstep fans out there, listen up to an incredible 75 minutes mixture of so many different styles, mixed like a well thought out pot of Austrian soup with dumplings. A truly intriguing and rewarding piece of dancefloor science. Just peerless material, Pull up operator! In 2006 hey-o-hansen recorded a series of 12" singles, documenting their personal musical journey starting from the soundtrack to an as yet unwritten Emir Kusturica film stepping into their unique style of Berlin-Afro-alpin-dubstep-killersound completely obliterating any sound system with some maximum badness. This is the CD compilation of the vinyl collector's series. They were supported by the co-musicians Wolfang Amadé Kapellari, Gerhard Erler, Samuli Kosminen and Eiríkur Orri from Iceland's Múm and Olaf Rupp (Audiosemantics, Emanem, Meta Records, FMP, Kitty-Yo, and others). Voices by Mariano Rajoy (leader of the opposition and of the conservative Popular Party in Spain), Mustapha Nabli (regional chief economist and director of social and economic development in the World Bank's Middle East and North Africa region) and Dirk von Lowtzow (Tocotronic, Phantom/Ghost). AND it never would have happened without the excellent league of Berlin based remixers Thaddeus Herrmann (City Centre Offices, Herrmann&Kleine, de:Bug), Harzkrafthof (Lovelite), Karl Marx Stadt (Mental Int., Kool.Pop, Lux Nigra and others), DJ Maxximus (Tresor, Ambush, Schematic, Warp, Digital Hardcore, Mental Groove and others), Multipara (Lux Nigra)."

HEYREC 013EP

"One of the most consistent, interesting Berlin labels operating from the D+M/Hardwax axis, Heyrec offer up a heavyweight slice of steppers techno with half-step tendencies, the track develops into layers of Latin guitars and swirling synths with joyful rasta cries for some goodtime party tuneage. Longtime dubcore fiend and proprietor of FWD>>'s Berlin franchise, DJ Maxximus does a grand remix job on the flip with some overt dubstep references but still sticking with the propulsive tech-step patterns. A truly intriguing and rewarding piece of dancefloor science."

HEYREC 012EP
|
"The alpine dub crew comes again in a late summer style and fashion. Following up 'Moon' and 'Gogogo,' two chart-toppers in these here parts, comes this excellent third volume in the Hey singles series. It's a timely and refreshing blend, as the Hey boys join forces with Karl Marx Stadt -- Hey rocking the top-side with some adulterated bashment, Karl Marx Stadt chopping up the place with a dubstep beamer, straight in your face. Featuring band fellow Sir Lord Gordon Odametey tackling the fiery subject matter in a fashion somewhere close to Super Cat, an unnamed ice-maiden on chorus duties and a rhythm seemingly updated from Cutty Ranks late '80s -- early '90s raggamuffin take on the 'lambada,' you've a new and sweetly twisted chapter in the remarkable Hey discography."

HEYREC 011EP

"The new Hey-o-Hansen record shows sounds starting to toughen up for our alpine Berliner heroes, following a rave reception accorded to their last single 'Moon.' It features an incredible mixture of so many different styles, mixing those styles like a well thought out pot of Austrian soup with dumplings. Gogogo should freshen even the most jaded pair of ears, there is definitely something special about the melody running throughout. Touted as Afro alpine dub techno with vocals, Alp horns, African percussion and a steady beat, you may well be surprised by the gleaming, shimmering, mountain railway groove, ideal soundtrack material for those summer trips into the mountains. The B-side sees Harzkrafthof metallically kick it off with spacious Berlin sounds -- something about this music has a magical quality you just don't commonly find elsewhere." --Boomkat.
