T-TOTAL FEAT. KU KU KERPLUNK!
BEAT ME, BITE ME, WHIP ME, FUCK ME
BEAUTYCASE, GERMANY

The nice thing about Berlin’s Beautycase is that it’s going against the current tide by gathering a pool of artists/djs who aren’t scared to bring full songs and pop elements to electro. T-Total aka legendary drag dj Tasty Tim and partner Robert Michael have produced a pumping electro-breaks number that should do well in the gay clubs, not least because of its naughty lyrics (126 BPM). The Party Monsters remix (Apollo 44O’s Noko!) boasts a shuffle groove, 16th b-line, big band’s horns and fifties guitars (127). Keen K (Divider) has teamed up with expressive rock singer Dorian E to great results. Packed with catchy eighties euro melodies their four track 10” ‘Rykers Island’ seduces instantly (think Aha meets Soft Cell and Zombie Nation at around 14O/150 BPMS).
