(Ellen Allien. 2007) Release Date: Fabric First members: 01/05/07 UK/R.O.W. Retail: 14/05/07 USA: 22/06/07. Track 3 is titled wrong on the tracklist and press information. It's the original version of 'Driven' in the mix, not the Jamie Jones' Pacific Mix. Track 8 listed as India In Me.
Track 11 listed as Harrowdown Hill. Release comes in a metal case, housed in a cardboard sleeve. This type of subtle, vocal and slick minimal is not usually my thing, but this is on another level. Hypnotic might be the appropriate term. Ellen Allien drops one of the most hypnotic mixes I have ever listened to, and that is all there is to it.
Right off from Schubert's Don't Believe The Chord - Pop Hype, an incredibly minimal yet spaced out and far reaching piece, my head is already moving towards Saturn. What an opening, but from there she drops a surprisingly old school sounding acid house number, which brings back sweet memories of adored tracks by Charlie B. Adonis and the likes. Then my favorite on the entire mix, the gorgeous Driven by Estroe, a stellar combination of Detroit soul, modern minimal groove, all painted over with sweeps of acid! What a track, with a touching pad rising from the background as well. And the mix goes on in the same tone throughout, with vocal snippets, coushin like bass lines and gentle percussion.
The music never reaches a climax of any sort, but it sucks you in like the vacuum cleaner you use could never do. Outstanding work, and by the time I reach Plastikman's remix of Baby Kate, I am all dissolved matter eagerly wanting more.
My expectations were not too high before playing this, but oh my, this was one of the best shots in the dark I ever took. I love this mix. I had heard Ellen several times mixing on parties/festivals but this mix jumps out. The way she builds up is cool, from some hypnotic vocal house (sun can't compare) over some 'kind of progressive' tunes (jamie jones rmx of estroe's driven, damien schwartz) to some mnml/tech, hypnotic dance stuff all over. Her remix of 'Harrowdown Hill' is mindblowing, fat breakbeat with Thom Yorke's voice and builds up again towards Heartthrob-Baby Kate to finish in beauty with the chilled beats of her brother-in-crime.
