DTP035 Anthony Rother - When the Sun goes down ( URRemixes) 12inch
Datapunk/2009
Since its founding in 1990, the Detroit underground resistance collective around “Mad Mike” Banks has belonged to the good conscience of electronic dance music like hardly any other music sociological network, on both the content and the sound level. Thus Datapunk can take even more pride in the fact that the label received a particular accolade with the generally rare UR remixes of the 2005 Rother single “When the sun goes down”. “Mike Banks and I met by chance at a dinner during this year’s Time Warp, and to our joy we found out that we are both fans of each other. Therefore I didn’t have to ask for remixes for very long,” says Anthony Rother. The careful beginning of the “Ain’t no sunshine” remix already appeared on the compilation “We Are Punks 3″. In this remix, the bass drum only comes in after more than two minutes, contrasting dramatically with the compelling Flash remix, whose psychoactively wandering chord hook line astonished both Detroit traditionalists and contemporary sound researchers.
