WPH New Beat 3 'Our Beat Is Still New' - Take 2

A1 Jacob Korn, Credit 00 & Sneaker are Serial Error ‘Drum Abuse’ 
A2 Jacques Renault & Mark Verbos are Goodnight Moon ‘Question Mark’ 
B1 Social Disco Club is Super-Ringo ‘Starr’ 
B2 Marcos Salon is Outlander ‘Zero Days’

After ‘Take 1’ comes ‘Take 2’, it sometimes really is that simple… Together with the ‘Pre-Take’ that came out before the summer this third volume in WPH’s ‘Our Beat Is Still New’ project completes the 12 tracks that form the album. More members of the core WPH family are on board here, but we also welcome some newcomers to the label.

The A-side opens up with what we have always considered to be the Dresden counterpart to WPH, the Uncanny Valley family of Jacob Korn, Credit 00 and Sneaker. With ‘Drum Abuse’ the provide the roughest track of the compilation, and one that will have techno DJ’s play new beat again… The second track on the A-side comes courtesy of Jacques Renault & Mark Verbos aka Goodnight Moon, giving a serious New York rendition of new beat.

On the B-side we have Social Disco Club and Outlander, both no strangers to WPH, and both very much on point again here. Social Disco Club marries his trademark deep house sound with a new beat feel, and Outlander was pretty much there when new beat started, so he provides us with vintage machine slowness straight from new beat heaven.

Is this the end of it? Well, you either know WPH or you don’t…

Sleazy McQueen - Anna Due (Social Disco Club Remix) [Wiskey Disco]

Just One Touch has been a long time coming but it emerges as a classic ode to house past and present. Porto based producer Social Disco Club was sat on the track for two years before Miss Bee added her dusky vocals. Frayed and taught with emotion, her voice works in harmony with the gritty analogue sounds that drive the track.

Where the original demands attention, the instrumental version shows a more subtle route to the floor. Tucked away on the b2, the absence of the full vocal allows the weighty drums and Detroit influences to come to the fore. With space to breathe the elements of the track begin to shine; restrained pads become expansive and the gurgling bass line rises to the fore.

On remix duty are Parisian duo The Mekanism and Melbourne’s man of the moment Francis Inferno Orchestra. The French pair weigh in with an upfront interpretation, working in some modern bounce to the feel good 90s vibe of the original.

Where The Mekanism straighten out Just One Touch to create a smooth, effective DJ tool, Francis Inferno shakes things up, adding an element of chaos with his Piano Jam remix. Unhinged keys frequently break through spacey atmospherics, falling away to place emphasis on drums that beat assertively between house and techno.

Under The Shade confidently cover all the bases here, with a standout original and reworkings from a pair of fast-rising young production outfits able to deconstruct the influences poured into their sources.
