Late Contenders...

I wish I hadn't made my best of 2006 list a week or two ago, because good records keep coming out, even one or two which would probably make a top 10.

Principle among these is Jackmate's jawdropping rework of Solomun and Gebr Ton's "Taggeschau", another great release on the up and coming Diynamic. What to say about a record like this, stabbing melodies interlock to create an 8 minute epic which is laden with drama, to the point where Anja Schneider seems to have posted in Word and Sound that it might be that bit too dramatic for some DJs. I'm thinking for fans and most DJs (including Schneider I assume, she has still playlisted this in her chart which I posted here earlier this month) this record is going to be very special. It doesn't hurt that the other two tracks on the 12 are both great too, so far it seems Diynamic really have a good thing going, like a lot of current stuff this release has a sort of timeless appeal, when you play stuff like this it's like the crowd are familiar with the tunes since they are such classical examples of good house or techno. So just as with Solomun's last release you feel this record will go down a storm the first time you play it...
