Remixology Vol 1 is the first bunch of remixes of King Electric's self titled debut album, which incl the hit singles "Da King" & "Out Of Reach" (peaked #9 @ German Indie Charts).

Artists
Being a drummer Sixtus Preiss knows how to astonish audiences with sophisticated handmade beats. Needless to say that, as member of the Affine Gang (incl fellas like Cid Rim, The Clonious or Dorian Concept), he stands out with his originality and a nevertheless strong sense for the prevalent Zeitgeist. His "Paralyzed" Reprater remix is catchy and charismatic and also absolutely danceable.

We were blown away when we first heard B.Visible on decks (supporting one of King Electric Live Gigs)! He delivers a wicked remix of Corbucci Westworld Dub Epos "Yul Brynner"! An outstanding feature of B.Visible's sense of funk 'n' humor! Glitch Hop as it's best.

No surprise that Vienna's downtempo master Manni Montana has chosen the King Electric Hit Single "Out Of Reach". His "Handshake Dub" comes as a subsonic tune with skilfully intertwined noise snippets, continuously thickening bass lines and smashing beats.

Badass GoodStuff Guns is nothing less than a nasty old school Splatter-Electro Hazard! First KE Single "Da King" transformed into Solomon size NAS Mash Up with disturbing make-up effects, skull cracking beats and "Deutschfunk" synth basslines.

Tremendous comeback of legendary Berlin based Techno act Memory Foundation. "Pinball Wizard" Wild Fyre Mix is - without any doubt - the sickest filter ride you may get at any Warehouse Party. Robert Hood on Acid.

Tokyo native Takafumi Sakurai aka Emufucka was recently featured by the likes of XLR8R and BBC Radio, and Red Bull Music Academy recruited him to perform this year. On Remixology he writes his own genre and transforms his personal King Electric favourite "Commit Yourself" into a japanese sci-fi movie with dusty noise and synthesized melodies. Creepy!

SOME PRESS REVIEWS:
"The album is full of movie samples and Marx Brothers dialogues. Musically it sounds in the slow parts like Tosca, the fast trax are more like Depeche Mode and Superfly on testosterone. The B-side is way better part: good quality cinema." (7/10)
[Vice Magazine]

"The colorful, entertaining and beautifully produced debut album of King Electric. Peter Hartwig and Chris Isepp show their love for funk, disco, electro-pop and '70s psychedelic - spiced up with movie samples and relaxed, deep grooves." [Radio FM4]

For years, these fellas are rocking the cool dancefloors with their heavy electro-disco-funk. Debut CD includes everything you need: 1st disco hit "Da King", funk smasher "Commit Yourself ", the soul-stomper "Paralyzed " and surprise, surprise: the hippie psychedelic single "Out Of Reach". [Kurier Austrian Newspaper]

No LSD trip could be more color- and beautiful. King Electric presents "Out Of Reach", a royal Psychedlic track that swaggers between retro sounds and postmodernism. Glorious!
[Disco Boheme]

Successful combination of 60 'psychedelic and electro. Pretty Things masterpiece "S.F.Sorrow" and Rolling Stones "2000 Light Years From Home" fused with sounds a la Kruder and Dorfmeister! [German Trend Charts]

"The King Electric debut album is a collection of interesting influences. Recorded in Barcelona, it breathes as well a certain lightness of the south." [Radio Byte FM]

After the two electro-funk stompers "Da King" and "Commit Yourself", KING ELECTRIC surprises with their 3rd single OUT OF REACH!

It's surprising because the Radio Mix is such a bittersweet suicidal psycadelic swagger - so natural, so vintage! - and shows a brand new face of da Kings. Chris' Depeche-Gahanesque vocs and Pete's Zombie Telecaster drives us back to 60's pop: "warm summerbreeze blows so endlessly".

The EP as well is packed + 3 very different remixes for your consumption: Track 2: Handshake Dub, from Vienna's downtempo master Manni Montana (who is currently working on Gary Clails comeback Album), comes as subsonic dub mix with some kind of vietnamese dub jungle driven experiments. Track3: Chris Isepp's Blue Curacao Bel Air Mix comes as kinda Miami Vice 808/DX7 understatement tune plus high Q pop factor. A mill $ top notch yacht under moonrise on the way to Club Tropicana. Cool and sexy. Finally Top10's brandnew fellas "The Last One" prove their connexion to Beck Hanson and Jimi Tenor...Track 4, Acustico, results from a noizy Tennessee garage session. Just cross the bridge to Nashville. Btw The Last One will be supporting da Kings on live tour 2012/2013 to promote their Albums.

The Outset:
The raw yet irresistably-catchy "Original Mix" seduces with its relentless Motor Beat and sexy vocal passages. Inexorably, it blazes its way towards a bitter-sweet orchestral finale. In a frenzy, you arrive at the haunted castle where the velvety "Upandaway Mix" lies in wait. The wobbling synth bass and melancholic harmonies entice you into a perfect "New Romantic" touch. Suddenly, a backdoor opens up and the tale takes a dramatic twist: the "Konsorten™ Mix" reveals itself to be an electroid Italo-Disco vocoder rogue with dramatic strings adding to the tension. Attempting to escape, you finally run straight into a snare. The "Nightmare Mix", with its subsonic basslines takes up the chase, chains rattling, and you feel its rotten breath down your neck. Ghastly shapes and figures enter the sallow light from all directions to applaud a truly harrowing finale....

SOME FEEDBACK
They became famous with their nº1 single "Summerbreeze". Their second hit is different. The new trax are a more electroid and the house rhythm is not as dominant as before. But it has climbed also at the top in Bosnia! [Oksigen FM, Sarajevo/Bosnia&Hercegovina]

Great! We love their stuff! It must be the sexy scream-sample (could be from King Kong) that makes the "Nightmare Mix" everybody’s darling. Check them out! [K.B.O.O. Radio, Portland/USA]

The new record is great, it's better than "Summerbreeze" was. Faves are the "Nightmare Mix" and the "Upandaway Mix", but the "Original Mix" is wicked too. This really is special stuff! [Tilos Radio, Budapest/Hungary]

Lovely vocal treatment on the male vocal. It compliments the track very well. Overall the tracks are top shelf, high quality. The huge reverb on the female vocal sits well in the mix. A fav has got to be the "Upandaway Mix", what a dreamy-ness of the intro! Spins in Texas, for sure!!! [95 X Radio, Midland/USA]

Their new release on top10records. For us the "Original- and the Nightmare Mix" - with a perfect 'YELLO' reminder. Respect! [Waxsessions, Barcelona/Spain]

Great work again! Listen to the rolling 'YELLO'-sample, uaaaaaaa! Muy bueno! [Flaix FM, Barcelona/Spain]

"Summerbreeze" is a fluffy piece of gentle house. The lovely feel of this hyper-pop tune soon had the bad vibes floating away. The tracks are exactly what the title suggests. With a filter treatment and sampling MFSB "The Sound of Philadelphia", it's finished in a perfect touch of summer nights. The B-Side comes with a funked out deephouse-remix with a lot of understatement funk and shuffling beats in perfection plus a breaky 2-step mix.

SOME FEEDBACK
"Summerbreeze" is a fluffy piece of gentle house. The lovely feel of this hyper-pop tune soon had the bad vibes floating away. The "Flying Carpet Mix" is a little more directional and should be a club favorite, with the same lush sounds arranged with more of a kick. A perfect "back to mine" soundtrack. [DJ MAG, London/UK]

Relisted now that we've heard how good it is. Laid back deep-house with an unmistakable 70's sample! Comes with a funked out deephouse-remix and a breaky 2-step mix, plus an instrumental without the bitter sweet vocals. [Groove Dis, Chicago/USA]

Without a shadow of doubt summerbreeze. The tracks are exactly what the title suggests. With a filter treatment and sampling MFSB "The Sound of Philadelphia", it's finished in a perfect touch of summer nights. [Jet Set, Tokyo/Japan]

That austrian label comes with 4 mixes of a deephouse-track with a lot of understatement funk and shuffling beats in perfection. [DE:BUG, Berlin/Germany]
