After the huge impact Bukaddor & Fishbeck´s “Less/ Polterabend” release had on German
dance floors and in Richie Hawtin´s set at one of Germanys biggest festivals “Time Warp”,
the follow up “Nachtexpress/ Long Distance Call” was the logical progression for MBF
befor the summer.
The a-side track “Nachtexpress” is very different to their debut since it is not programmed
so much in the “off beat” modus, but has more of an hypnotic and understatement
character. “Nachtexpress” sounds a bit as if Steve Bug´s “Loverboy” had had some serious
surgery making the track a 100% night crawler. The track is carried by a bassline motor
and some nice percussions providing a steady but gentle touch to emerge on the floor as a
trippy tale.
The flipside “Long Distance Call” is a lot more relaxed but at the same time also mystical,
seemingly non directional at first, but works its way into a post Detroit track with nice
strings coming along after some minutes. The track works like a magnet in slow motion
modus, rather than being a in your face track.
