YOU NEED TO DANCE EP

TRACKLISTING

A Skwerl - You Need To Dance (12" Ver sion)
B Skwerl - Pollyanna



INFO
After re leasing with Sonar Kollektiv and Defected, Michael Beim AKA Skwerl became a Gigo lo in 2009 and now releases his third 12" for us, the You Need to Dance EP, with some of his most inventive work to date.

The A-side is an exclusive extended 12" version of "You Need to Dance" – also serving as a teaser for our upcoming thirteenth label compilation – which is constructed around t he a cappella from "By the Way You Dance" by Salsoul Records artist Bunny Siegle r. Other than the vocals, though, there's little connection to the Philly sound of the 1979 original; instead, Skwerl provides an ultra-modern polished house gr oove with an almost sinister quality, contrasting with, yet perfectly complement ing, the soulful lyrical delivery.

On the B-side, we are treated with a playful Skwerl instrumental, again showing his ability to pull from a variety of sound sources and mix them into a cohesive bouquet: at first, it's a simple combination of piano, strings and mild-mannered percussion, but soon a piercing synth starts perforating the surface, allowing the wild jacking rhythms to storm the scene with an old-school acid line to compete for attention. But despite th e mish-mash of organic and synthetic sounds, "Pollyanna" remains a unified piece , with nods toward the past of dance music history while sounding undoubtedly co ntemporary.
