fjaak: gewerbe 15/rush

German trio FJAAK's "Gewerbe 15" is a primetime sure shot, opening with a broken kick drum that eventually makes way for a pummeling 4/4 beat bound to shake the walls of any club. The title refers to the German word for "commercial space"; the trio lived in a 15-square-meter combination-living-space-and-studio during the creation of their first two EPs for 50WEAPONS (Attack/The Wind (2014) and Don't Leave Me/Plan A). "Rush" plays with a much more house-oriented approach to a peak-time track. A rock-hard, distorted kick drum; piercing hi-hats; and a soaring ride are paired with almost Jersey-esque, shuffling chords.
