Info:

`You really got me´
Desperate for a hit in 1964, an obscure band named the Kinks slashed up a cheap guitar amp with a razor blade. When the Kinks released “You Really Got Me” in their native England on August 4, 1964, it was a classic make-or-break moment. Ray Davies had composed “You Really Got Me” in the front room of his parents’ house in Fortis Green, with help from his brother. They wanted the song to be the kind of showstopper that would make audiences dance and go wild, and set out to make it repetitive, “like an African tribal chant.” And as we know history – their wish came true.

Cat No: ANGST002-1
Format: 12″ / Download

Quotes:

Info: You don’t need to be beaten to unconsciousness ’till you understand that this new remix EP by Tigerbeat kicks ass. Charming, hip-rocking beauties Tigerbeat, who’re normally unleashing their incurable sexiness on Buback Records, gracefully dedicated material from their latest album “13 Songs“ for this remix mash-up. So now they’re causing ructions on Angora Steel with this 12”… and they will beat some senses into you indeed, if only with their choice of raging remixers! At the very first take on „Beat Me ’Till I Understand“ it´s all in the family. Ladomat Label mate Ascii.Disko not only brought this EP’s cover collage to life but also contributed producing skills to Tigerbeat’s last album “13 Songs“. And when it comes to entertainment, the whole world is a stage for the congenial man-machine: remixes for Josh Wink and Cielo are an undeniable proof! You can tell playing after show sets for Björk . . . →

Quotes: The combination of the stompy kick with simple distorted bass, the twisted synth randomness counterweighted by the haunting voice of Alex Empire (Atari Teenage Riot) – this all gets the hair up on my back. 365 MAG / The drum pattern is so beautifully simple. I beat my head against the wall in the studio to achieve this affective simplicity and often get nowhere”. 365 Mag

Info: What is the average 12 year-old kid doing in the middle of the 80s? Collecting Metal, Punk, Industrial and Wave records, visiting all the former legends in concert and trying not to be like a virgin… And what is this average kid called Martin Peter doing some years later when smilies and the TB-303 are increasingly contaminating the planet? Exactly, Martin forms a live-pa along with a friend under the name of FILTER, which results in a wild bunch of Acid, . . . →
