len faki & johannes heil: volume iii

Faki and Johannes Heil team up for the third installment in their collaboration series. Well-known for their high production values and unique ability to capture the kind of intense energy needed on the dancefloor, Volume III sees the two masters on top form again. A devilish combination of weighty break-beats, clattering old-school snares and static electricity, "Perception" takes a spoken-word sound-byte and twists it into a monstrous beast. A useful a capella version is included here too, for DJs who know. "Happy 808" shows off masterful drum programming, coupled with a super-spacey mixdown that elevates the 808 to new extremes.
