Based in St Augustin, this young German structure close to Collapse and Decomplex Audio labels introduces its second output. Overall Tech'house, "The 2nd Strike" offers four tunes written by some of over-Rhine 4/4 high values. Climax of this 12'', club hit "15 Steps", produced by Pasquale Maassen (Jonny F. Ketz Rework), appears on B-Side with a devastating sample taken from Michael Jackson's "Billy Jean". More percussive, well known Harald Klotzberg ventures into tribal lands thanks to "Regenmacher", a full of afro-vocals and evil drums cut. On A-Side, DJ Emerson comes with "Blowdown" in a pumping and hot version. At last, Crazy X-Ray teams up with Michael Paul for a groovy and hypnotic "Zulu Salsa" tune. Varied, successful and fresh!
