Correspondant Records
They've come a long way since they first met in post Britpop band The Plectrons, but old friends Peter Invasion & Gregor Habicht continue to conjure up fusion... A friendship further cemented as part of synth-pop band 'Here Is Why', the pair have recently got back into the studio together again. Last spotted on Correspondant Compilation 08, the German duo now return with their debut collaborative EP 'Sirens' Two originals and two remixes: 'Bowery 559' is a tense slice of electro that thunders into oblivion while 'Altitude' is a leather-clad juggernaut built for war. Both tracks are sweaty, siren-fuelled eruptions of dark funk that build on every hammer of the bass string, and they're complemented by two exceptional versions: Optimo's Vanessa Worm flips 'Bowery 559' into a wonky, bulbous techno workout while Justin Strauss and Max Pask give it a tense, acid-licked Each Other twist. Each of the four cuts slow-cooked to Correspondant's deep, dark signature, expect more fusion from this duo very, very soon.
