Acid Neukolln by Enzo Elia vs Terri Belle
Italian label Hell Yeah is back with another expertly ‘floor filling release in the form of the Acid Neukolln.
Produced by Balearic Gabba Sound System house-music man and edit specialist Enzo Elia and Berlin based techno legend Terribelle, it features one original track as well as a dub from Enzo and a beatless mix by the Balearic Gabba Sound System.
DJ since 1987 who has worked in seminal Berlin clubs E-Werk, Planet and Tresor, Terribelle is someone who has a number of different aliases and knows his techno inside out. When paired with cosmic specialist Enzo, who can make crowds go wild with his draw out tracks and wild grooves, the results are essential.
The original is seven minutes long and starts with big piano chords, trilling keys and swinging hand claps. Then things get switched up and wild acid lines rip around above coarse claps, with massive rubbery drums pudding away below and a lead melody snaking above it all. It is a truly freaky cut that will send people crazy.
The Dub from Enzo is slightly more stripped back, with a bigger focus on the raw 303 and even more weight in the drums.
Finally, the shorter Balearic Gabba Sound System beatless mix is a great tool to start or finish sets with, or to just drop as a playful, party starting interlude with its crazy happy chords and mad acid.
some DJ feedback:

"If you didn't know, Hell Yeah is the Italian label hell-bent on releasing the best modern disco(ish) you can find. Sometimes it's blissed out and Balearic, sometimes it's squelchy and down-right weird and sometimes it's the sort of elongated, tribal stuff that works dancefloors into a salacious frenzy" DJ MAG
