Geil - Ambigue

Album description

Geil is a French artist living in Montpellier who started his career on the Techno scene in 2006, since then he has been working as a producer under the name of Citizen Kain.
This new project, more intimate, more personal, with its subtle sounds is also more narrative. It is devoted to atmospheric House/Tech house with relentless grooves and a characteristic rhythms, like the evidence of a sensible and highly talented personality.

Next up on Claude Monnet's 20 year strong label SSOH is Geil with a hot new track that gets remixed by Berlin techno talent Ian Pooley, the label boss himself and Bedrock man Atapy. The original from Geil is a romantic late night and mid tempo house tune with warm and soulful pads that shimmer above the drums. A seductive, whispered vocal line is delivered in french and adds to the steaminess and all in all its a faultless deep house classic.

Atapy remixes with a much sterner and steely vibe pervading. The percussion is stiff and mechanical, the vocal is more ghostly and you can imagine this ding damage in a sweaty back room during peak time. Ian Pooley, label boss and long time DJ and producer on the Berlin scene, then flips the original into a slightly more driven deep hose track with rubbery drums, thick synth lines and a sense of real purpose.

Finally, Claude Monnet comes good with his deeply groovy, hypnotically swaying remix. His pads stretch off into the distance and the percussion adds bite to the soft synths so that you remain locked from start to finish. You don't get to 58 releases without being a great label, and SSOH proves that once again here.
