HATTLER "REMIXED VOCAL CUTS"

.Remix album of the "ECHO" award winning (category "jazz international") "No Eats Yes" and "Mallberry Moon" albums. With remixes by DE-PHAZZ, TONIO NEUHAUS from N-FACTOR; russian artist XMZ; electronica producer RUBEAU and producer CHRISTIAN LOHR (Giana Nannini etc). Featuring Torsten De Winkel from Pat Metheny Group / New York Jazz Guerrilla on the original tracks. Including the radio mixes of "No Eats Yes [de-phazz slimhouseMX]" and "New I.D. [preMX]"

Listen to Christian Lohrs classic "Mallberry Moon RMX" with its trippy downbeat flavor. It's characterized by Sandie Wollaschs fragile voice sounding like Stina Nordenstam and Stud's a bit Miles Davis like trumpet style. Imagine Stina singing "Time After Time" on Miles "You're Under Arrest" album and you got a glimpse of the idea. Next comes Hellmut's own preMIX of "Silent Surveyor". Allready a great song on "No eats Yes" it's even better here but certainly topped by the catchy radio compatible de-phazz-slimhouseMX of "No Eats Yes". A really summer hit with it's uptempo house beats, Nkechi Mbakwes catchy vocals and the extra added ragga lyrics. Back to the downbeat side is the Tonio Neuhaus RMX of "Sunny Jay" followed by the funky RMX of "Goddess Of Love" by Russian Artist XMZ sounding a bit like one of the funky ballads of Prince "Parade" period.

Its getting even more funky but also more dark and experimental with the "Nero" RMX by the same artist. Funky beats and heavy distorted guitars blend to a "Tricky" type of club burner with a catchy refrain. Another mix by XMZ is the following "Universal Breakdown" RMX. Frankfurt based artist RUBEAU is RMXing the renamed (or better pre-named - since this version was released first) "Serious" here named "Serious-4-0". The catchy upbeat "New I.D. " in it's preMix is another potential 24-hours-radio-hit having no difficulties to battle US3's "Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia)" with it's beat, trumpet and Hellmut's (!) vocals. "Miss America [RMXed by xmz]" - coming next - is a very subtile song obviously inspired by latin music and "Broken [preMX]" incorporates Anne Clark style spoken poetry into downbeats. Another de-phazz RMX - this time of the already praised "Silent Surveyor" is followed by the second mix of the album hit "No Eats Yes [kidsMX by juergen schlachter] ". Finally de-phazz is adding his interpretation of "Sunny Jay[ de-phazz congaMX]" closing the album in the best possible way: v-e-r-y relaxed!
