Magicbag Music | MBM005 - Youandewan - Meet Me At Teufelsberg
Available from 20th Dec 2010 on Beatport/Juno/ITunes. Local Yorkshire hero Youandewan delivers his second full EP for the hotbed of fresh UK talent, Magicbag records, with ‘Meet Me At Teufelsberg’ touching on an array of styles, from the depths of dub to the warm embers of house and back to Berlin inspired techno.
‘Alone In Berlin’ is slow burning house music, deep and dubby and ever so soothing. Described by the man himself as a "chugging dub scape" that faultlessly sums up the ebb and flow of this track, distinguishing the spaced out quality and sumptuous dubbed out grooves and an infectious chugging bassline. This also sets the tone for the epic, sprawling journey of the whole EP.
The eccentrically named ‘Crosseyed and Painless’ sets you on a different plane. Building up from a kick drum, echoing stabs and dubby bass, it slowly evolves into swirls of uplifting house rhythms that dispel the dark into light. Upping the tempo, ‘Jigsaw’ has a more techno driven euphoric edge but darker elements seep in, underlaying the track with deep squelchy bass sounds that balance the spellbound mood. ‘Eidolon’ continues the epic techno vibe and introduces a rippling female vocal making this a complete package for any after-hours session.
