Fuerza Major – Camaros Gang (tensnake remix)
So I recently have been intrigued by a German artist, Tensnake. I first started becoming familiar through his remixes of Sally Shapiro. Not at all what I’ve come to expect from Germany (i.e. Boys Noize, techno etc.). His tracks having all the makings for glamorous house, and seductive nu disco. There is a definite epic feel with just the right amount of smoothness. Recently he dropped a remix of the faint’s battlehymn for children on their mirror error ep, that is full of shimmering funky goodness. He did a quick interview and playlist for beatport, check it here. Here’s the intro, In a country famed for industrial-sized techno beats, Tensnake [a] must be considered one of Germany’s more idiosyncratic producers. Hailing from Hamburg, Marco Niemerski has spent four active years on the scene developing a rather unique brand of dance music and commanding increasingly more respect and admiration along the way. His sumptuously warm melodies, interwoven with bountiful rococo grooves, are best served with a Piña Colada while the sun sets on one of those languid summer days at the beach. EPs for labels Radius and Endless Flight are must-have classics for anyone with the slightest interest in the contemporary disco scene, with remixes for big-hitters Foals, Junior Boys and Sally Shapiro only adding to the growing Tensnake hype-storm. But that is just the tip of the iceberg. Tensnake’s long awaited third EP ‘In The End (I Want You To Cry)’ has just dropped on Running Back Records, and the man has delivered a veritable tour de force. Support from the likes of Radio Slave, Prins Thomas, Bill Brewster and Mark E is an early indicator of just how big a deal this record is going to be in 2009. For those of you whose radar hasn’t sounded him out yet, we decided it was about time introductions were made. So without further ado, boys and girls, please meet the mighty Tensnake…
