Description
This Cologne-based producer still serves 90s UK tech house the old fashioned way!
While collectors and resellers still scour Discogs and Dollar bins for forgotten treasures from the genre’s golden age, another generation of producers is looking to start a new one, as they catapult the dark and stripped down styles of artists like Nathan Coles into the future. Cologne’s Anatoli, fka Play Boy Joe, is one of them
On his “class struggle ep”, out 30th October on vinyl through his own imprint „Das ist das Ja“, Anatoli delivers four deep cuts inspired by his love for and stompy US and UK tech house from the turn of the millennium. Between its driving basslines, stripped down arrangements and dubby chords “class struggle” is crafted for club use and aims to set the dancefloor on fire like it’s 1999 -- not a phone in sight.
Anatoli’s reverence to the late 90s way of doing things doesn’t end with style but extends to his techniques. “Class struggle” with its nods to minimal house and UKG was crafted primarily on hardware, using gadgets like an MPC1000, a Minilouge XD, a Yamaha XD27, TR-8S and a DX200, and salting the finished product with a sprinkle of DAW.
The record comes out via Das Ist Das Ja which roughly translates to “exactlyyyyyy” and started as an event series run by Anatoli and Jan Oben, most recently at home in Cologne clubs Jaki and Ursprung Fi. In recent years, though, it has also become a hot ticket for hard-hitting underground releases, of which the “class struggle ep” is the fourth on vinyl and the 14th overall. We strongly recommend getting in on the action soon and picking up one of the 200 strictly limited copies. Unless you want to add this one to your endless Wantlist and regret not buying it when it came out.
