The Circus
is in town!
This autumn it's finally in stores, the genre-spanning debut 12"
from three well known young fellas, who combined under the "circus"
moniker to raise the level of Austrian club- music with a little help
from top-class international guests. Felix Bergleiter, better known as
Bionic Kid from Vienna’s hip hop formation Waxolutionists as well
as Daniel and Fabian Schreiber aka the Twintowas (who already gave proof
of their musical talents as the Live-Instrumentalists from the Supercity
Soundsystem) are travelling off the beaten track to deliver us some massive
broken beat tunes.
The title
track "I know you" also features UK's first lady of jazzy uptempo
rap, Lyric L who's jointly responsible for the broken beat classic "Loose
lips" with Seiji back in 2002. The second voice is provided by the
rising star in the west London sky, Motet, live MC from the illustrious
Bugz in the Attic collective. The tune perfectly combines rough &
authentic broken beats with retro synthesizer lines and an irresistible
chorus (and there's also an instrumental version). The remix on the b-side
by the highly acclaimed Inverse Cinematics takes the listener on a deep
and hypnotic journey through tech-house landscapes between wobbling basslines
and squeaky noises. Next highlight on this 12" is the semi-broken
"Signs" which features one of Vienna’s finest vocalists,
L'Enfant Terrible who delivers the bittersweet lyrics on this catchy electrofunk
tune and last but not least the interlude "Lost #1" rounds things
off with a massive but short hip hop rhythm. Altogether, keep some free
space in your record-bags because this surefire dancefloor filling piece
of music is gonna stay there for a long time!
