fjaak: oben/unten

Oben/Unten paints a picture of a club in which the more pleasing sounds are played on the upper floor ("Oben") while there's a freakshow in the basement ("Unten"). The heavy stomper "Oben" features a cut-up of the notorious "Amen break." Its delayed stabs, impulsive drums and washed-out vocals almost drive you into a trance-like state of mind. "Unten" goes face first into the doghouse. Sweat is dripping from the ceiling, half-naked bodies are jacking to the resonant sounds of the kickdrum. A hi-hat and some claps -- you don't need much more.
