DIE SCHALLPLATTE

Barcode: 880319089213 Good things come to those who wait... with a bold delay of 2 years, the third instalment of PROTEKT is released, a limited Profan sub label concept series whose artistic concern is all about those certain things in (everyday) life that are worth protecting. Following on šProtekt 01 - Die Fledermausš (The Bat) and on šProtekt 02 - Die Christuskircheš (The Christ Church, a Cologne-based church next to the Kompakt headquarter) it's now the turn of "Protekt 03 - Die Schallplatte" (The Vinyl Record). Just in time for Record Store Day 2016, Wolfgang Voigt releases this electro-musical tribute to the crackle of the gods under his "Wassermann" monicker. 4 variations of concentrated groove power pressed on two slabs of tar. A1 - the Original Mix, a techno pop monstrosity which dusts off stout 80s and 90s references and transcodes them into the now. A true sing-along. A2 - the Neotrance Mix. The name says it all. German Schlagerqueen Helene Fischer and Klaus Schulze in a breathless acid duet. On the b side, Wassermann whips out the distortion and saves the day alongside his old chaps Marc Bolan and Robert Palmer. "You're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to bass!" For the grand finale, an ambient slacker is the way to go... cause it's the Vinyl Countdown Mix. What crackles as nice as firewood and makes the connoisseur proud? The vinyl record. The vinyl record. What makes the world go round and takes the party higher? The vinyl record. The vinyl record. What keeps DJ muscles in shape and breaks if you step on it? The vinyl record. The vinyl record. What's loved by yound and old? Helixes of memory we've been forever young. If you buy this record, you save the vinyl record! 01 Die Schallplatte 02 Die Schallplatte 03 Die Schallplatte 04 Die Schallplatte
