TACTEEL
Feel it, Feel it
12" vinyl
A1 - Feel It, Feel It
True story: 3 AM, Paris by night, clubhopping, we’re between two parties,
neither drunk nor sober. Then we spot this girl passed out right in the
middle of the street, with some punk laughing his head off right next to
her. We ask the guy what’s so fucking funny and he says “She’s puking in
her sleep... and you know what’s even funnier? She’s my girlfriend.”
That’s when Tacteel headbutted the guy, slapped him across the mouth a
couple times then dragged him in front of a shop window so he can look
at shame creeping over his sorry face. That’s what “Feel It, Feel It” is
about. Righteous anger. It’s Tacteel’s most violent track ever, far less
controlled than anything he’s done. This is what happens when crisis-
management fails. It sounds like a blindfolded Chi-Town maniac running
to the dancefloor waving a huge double-bladed axe. Can you feel the
beat? Cause I can. Right, fucker? I CAN.
A2 - L’Hiver vous va si bien
“You are never as beautiful as in winter”. Romance, elegance and drama
submitted to the rule of the snare. Kick wrapped in snow, jaunty synths,
filters blossoming left and right, dance piano looping in the background,
this is post-war music, with syncopated vocal snippets, rolling snare
drums, high-energy hi-hats and nervous edits to remind us that some
backstreets are not yet pacified.
B - L’Hiver vous va si bien (Zdar A Bass Day Remix)
Zdar. One half of La Funk Mob, Motorbass, Cassius, French touch icon.
The man wrote some of the best chapters in the big book of French
electronic music - and he’s still adding to it. And this blinding 8 minutes-remix is far from a footnote. Zdar puts the iron fist into a velvet glove.
He dials up a new sonic weather, with fresh guitar clouds and a new bass
wind. All the elements are weighted with utmost care then layered onto
the live bassline like it’s nothing. But it’s a lot. He makes it sound Ibiza-
easy, feet-in-the-water-easy, wind-in-the-palm-trees-easy. When house is
that fluid it feels like dancing among friends, special secret steps only
your friends really understand.
