Elektrochemie has been called a “super-group”; its ranks consisting of the highly respected producer Thomas Schumacher and the bewitching, galvanizing vocal presence of Caitlin Devlin; but unlike most super-groups, Elektrochemie is at least the sum of its formidable parts, and its gift to us is sophisticated and heavy-hitting dancefloor music with a human heart – albeit a heart flecked with ice. The ‘Get Yourself’ EP is Elektrochemie’s third offering for Get Physical, following the incredibly well-received ‘Pleasure Seeker’, ‘Don’t Go’ and ‘Mucky Star’ 12”s. Opening track ‘Faking’ begins in lulling, opiated fashion, flirting with spaced-out tom sounds before a fierce kickdrum arrives to really get the (techno) show on the road. Caitlin’s voice, at once sinister and enticing, advises us to “move into it, be done with all that superficial shit”, and as Stephan and Thomas work the percussion, jotting around the beats with pitch-shifting analogue basslines and hissing hi-hats, you’ll be unable to resist ‘Faking’’s breathless forward momentum.

It cannot be said that Susana and Rebeca have a background that is consistent with being musicians – one a customising fashion designer and the other a geneticist – not exactly a typical start to a career in music. But they have always shared a great passion for it since before meeting as students in Madrid where they had weekend jobs in the city’s club scene. Immediately recognising their strong similarities they became best of friends. From there they went on to play at the Gigolo party at Sonar and receive and invitation from DJ HELL to join the Gigolo family. And now they bring you their first mix CD for International Deejay Gigolo Records.
This is the second DJ mix by women on Gigolo this year (following PRINCESS SUPERSTARs American Gigolo 3 in January) so it’s fair to say the Gigolettas are doing it for themselves! LE CHIC sure know how to mould a DJ set so as to keep you entertained for a good hour. They have learned the skills behind the decks and have captured that energy perfectly on Le Mix. The pace is relentless throughout this incredible mix compilation: from start to finish it is packed with bomb tracks and not once does it let up. LE CHIC have managed to capture a fine party mix and have done the Gigolo name proud. You can be sure they have a long and successful DJ career ahead of them – anyone who hears this mix is gonna want to check them out live in the club.

Green Velvet returns for a more housey outing on Cajual. In its original form, ‘Walk’ is a stripped down vocal number featuring Russoul on vox while the mixes up the pace on Gant-man’s mixes and the Walk For Techno mix. A bit of a secret weapon can be found in the form of ‘It’s Time 2 Jack’ on the B2 which is dancefloor dynamite!

The first single from Miss Kittins second solo album, “BatBox”, is out now and features two remixes of the track “Kittin is High”. On one side there’s “9/11″, a tense and broody club mix from Norwegian underground talent Black Labelle. On the other, JoJo de Freq, Miss Kittins fellow DJ playmate and resident at NagNagNag, has added a big, bouncing, acid-tinged bassline and Euro-synth stabs to her “Beauty is Terror” mix. Rob Reger also designed a limited edition picture disc that you can find in your local record store. A “normal” vinyl edition is also available. And you can download the single at your online music store.
The album “BatBox” is out on Miss Kittins own label Nobody’s Bizzness in late January 2008.
Oh, and unfortunately Miss Kittins website misskittin.com has got eaten by bats, so she had to escape to kittinbatbox.com There you can even listen to the original mix of “Kittin is High”… The bats didn’t get to the music….!
