Hey-O-Hansen
Zulu/ If You Lovin Me
PP18 DL
''Welcome to the world of sound, as defined by Hey-ø-Hansen!'', the horn is calling out over the valley half a minute into this album, accompanied by a thick but persistently wobbling bass line it is appropriately announcing the heavy-weight of the new Hey-ø-Hansen soundsystem.
Hey-ø-Hansen are known to combine genuine hand made sounds of their unpredictable legendary live performances with electronic music created in relative freedom with the charm of an obvious laidback attitude. Hey-ø-Hansen, two Austrians in Berlin, operate already for more than a decade - depending on the occasion they expand or shrink. In fact since Michael Wolf and Helmut Erler started to play together as Hey-ø-Hansen, they have been functioning as a unit to host guests to form a trio or quartet, sometimes even larger like in the case of this record.
For ''We So Horny'' Hey-ø-Hansen have dropped the vocals. Only a few samples remain, sparsely sprinkled over some of these ''Pleasure Riddims''. This does not hinder the completeness of the production. It stands as a cohesive whole and the loss does actually work in favor of the instruments at play, and makes them shine. We hear Hey-ø-Hansen fledged to become an ensemble - complete with percussion, guitar and wind instruments they are entering compelling new terrain. Hey-ø-Hansen's bass frequencies, drones and expansive reverbs seem to demand submission, but rest assured Hey-ø-Hansen bear no malice toward anyone. The bass in conjunction with the triumphant brass works so overwhelmingly at times that one may voluntarily surrender.
