Gebrüder
Teichmann on Disko B!
Subsequent
to the outstanding succes of the Yesternight EP (ranked 25 in the
Groove Charts; Hot Shots DCC), the Berlin based exile-Bavarians,
“Festplatten” label runners and musical globetrotters
finally bless us with their first album “The Number Of The
Beat”. For over eight years they have been effectually operating
their label Festplatten and exploring the world (Europe, Sibiria,
Japan, South America and Middle East) in order to perform and to
spin records. They moved from Regensburg to Berlin, released on
Kompakt and as beigeGt members on L’Age D’or. Now they’ve
spotted a new home in their old homeland. Finding Upstart as their
new label boss meant meeting somebody whom they had known for over
ten years at that time. During the old days at Munichs legendary
Ultraschall, where Andi and Hannes went to as young ravers and became
residents later, they had experienced a lot together. For this reason
they put their phenomenal debut album in the hands of Disko B. During
their versatile rocking DJ- and live-sets, the passion and enthusiasm
for music can always be felt. As their father is a jazz saxophonist,
“handmade” music had always been a serious influence
on their music.
But which number is the
one of the beat now? According to the Teichmanns point of view there
are many. On the one side the number is a result of analogue drum
machines and on the other it’s the consequence of unwarped
music making. And therefore quite differing facettes can be heared
on their album. Let’s take the collaborations with Chanteuse
Alice Clement, who figures out a glitch in the matrix (“Un
Bug”) with unbending energy, only to battle the uninspired
Berlin minimal hype with the bone dry track “Minimal Scheißegal”
and at least suggests the audience to dance to death with the poppy
“So Dance”, or the already released rave monster “Dance
& More” on Speicher, which obtains an even bigger brother
with “Karacho”. Of course beigeGT singer Martin Haygis
can’t be missed, even if he would rather be Alain Delon on
the joyfully clicking and roaring “Romy”. “Offset”
provides even more deepness and the title track claims very funky
and discoesquely that 606 is meant to be “The Number Of The
Beat”. Still the beat exhibits a whole lotta different numbers,
smoother and less per minute.: “Nick” brings the waltz
back to electronic music, “Whateverman” gets delighted
by the sun shining on his belly and swims on fat bass beats, accompanied
by cello and guitar on the waves of tape delays. “Inviolata”
is truly based on a motette of Guilaume de Machant from the 14th
century. Nevertheless everything matches perfectly...
