Simple Cat by Tegel Boys

Simple Cat (Original Mix) is an all out statement of intent from this new constellation of Berlin veterans, Tegel Boys, a collective of rock ‘n’ roll disco dons, studio cats, and acid-rave aficionados delivering a distinct sound distilled from their deep and diverse connections as players and producer-collaborators in acoustic and electronic adventures past. (Hazy Pockets, FJAAK, Hauschka, White Denim). Tegel Boys are dedicated proponents of live acid disco, 303-melt, electric guitar drive, dada-bongo bounce married to deep-digging dusty-sampledelics. This debut track is a sprawling march out into the apocalyptic desert, sprinkled with cult-cowboy samples, a knowing wink to epic dancefloor sunset rides past, a crisp swagger into the future. The eight-minute debut is equal parts razor-sharp, crisp electro mechanics, muscular bass pulse, sinewy electric guitar, subtle synths, and the live juggernaut drums from acclaimed muzo Alican Tezer (Insanlar with Baris K etc. and other Turkish psychedelic giants).

Remix duties fall to the unstoppable force that is Freudenthal, (Pardon Moi, Nein Records, Feinstoff) who ups the tempo and squeezes the whole production into a freshly-waxed corvette speeding over Miami causeways. This is peak-time electro gold, the cowboy swagger melting into superbly-arranged arpeggio drive, fist-pumping delight, frugal elements of the original track finessed into new aerodynamics as only Freudenthal can do.

Seemingly hailing from another parallel dimension where the Governor Andrew Weatherall himself presides, Warehouse Preservation Society (L.A. Future Boogie etc.) have dropped in to share the goods with this drug-chug remix, an extended broken-beat epic, slow-burner, a track destined for the hearts of all ALFOS disciples, a remix that builds and bounces along with perfect-shapes, head-bopping ecstasies. These Los Angeles lifers, esteemed Harvey acolytes, tireless proponents of true warehouse acid aesthetics, bring an astute understanding of dancefloor dynamics and EBM control with this major cut.
