Poul Rich Myspace
Wagon Repair

After catching global attention with his releases on MRIʼs Resopal label and Get Physical,
Paul Ritch is crowning the beginning of 2009 with his debut Wagon Repair release.
The young Parisianʼs ascent was characterized by his injection of warm latin rhythms into
the traditionally cold and calculated techno format, and this latest effort is no exception to
the habit.
Opener ʻEvil Laffʼ effervesces like a lab experiment, with layers of rich sampled percussion
looping, stuttering and decompressing as the track picks up steam. Motored by competing
snare and hat patterns and accented by bubbling melodic tone, the movement is
measured throughout by a sinister vocal presence.
On the flip, ʻEvil Laff (Konrad Black Remix)ʼ sees the Wagon Repair veteran plunge the
original into even darker waters. Slammed metallic percussion and a deep ascendant bass
melody dictate the pace, culminating in a determined drive of thudded keys and racing
shake at the narratorʼs command.
