002. Da Hool - Eichelruck (MG Remix 1)

Certain pieces of music just don’t sound right at home. No matter how loud you play them, no matter how much you compensate the deficiencies in the lower end of the audio spectrum, nothing you can do will sufficiently emulate the experience you participate in when you get to hear it on a club sound system. The problem is, some tunes need to be felt, not just heard. Without the deafening power of kilowatts upon kilowatts of speakers and amps, your body will never be able to feel the air vibrate with the dramatic tones of a piece of music resonating deep in the caverns of your chest. Not only that, but they need an accompanying context; the sweaty, mob filled dance floor rhythmically gyrating in time to the music, the seizure inducing stupor of flashing lights and a room temperature, heavy with humidity, which wouldn’t be out of place several hundred miles closer to the equator than we currently are.

Marc Green’s delivery is one such piece. Placed at home on a turntable, it just doesn’t feel right. It’s the sort of tune which begs to be put in the record box and blasted out to a receptive audience at the first opportunity. It’s the sort of tune you probably wouldn’t choose to listen to on your own, but would unquestionably upend the dance floor when dropped at an opportune moment in a club. Using the characteristic squelchy, deep, nasal sound Marc Green is associated with we are left with a dirty, unashamed piece of dance music which taps into the primal raving instincts that lie at the heart of any good electronica night. But what kind of night? It’s a record which just resists classification. The skilful DJ could easily drop this tune into a house, trance, or techno set with equally effective results. Unfortunately, none of this is going to make any sense until you hear this one dropped in a club.
