Tegel Boys

Simple Cat (Original Mix) is an all out statement of intent from this new constellation of Berlin veterans, Tegel Boys, a collective of rock ‘n’ roll disco dons, studio cats, and acid-rave aficionados delivering a distinct sound distilled from their deep and diverse connections as players and producer-collaborators in acoustic and electronic adventures past. (Hazy Pockets, FJAAK, Hauschka, White Denim). Tegel Boys are dedicated proponents of live acid disco, 303-melt, electric guitar drive, dada-bongo bounce married to deep-digging dusty-sampledelics. This debut track is a sprawling march out into the apocalyptic desert, sprinkled with cult-cowboy samples, a knowing wink to epic dancefloor sunset rides past, a crisp swagger into the future. The eight-minute debut is equal parts razor-sharp, crisp electro mechanics, muscular bass pulse, sinewy electric guitar, subtle synths, and the live juggernaut drums from acclaimed muzo Alican Tezer (Insanlar with Baris K etc. and other Turkish psychedelic giants).

Remix duties fall to the unstoppable force that is Freudenthal, (Pardon Moi, Nein Records, Feinstoff) who ups the tempo and squeezes the whole production into a freshly-waxed corvette speeding over Miami causeways. This is peak-time electro gold, the cowboy swagger melting into superbly-arranged arpeggio drive, fist-pumping delight, frugal elements of the original track finessed into new aerodynamics as only Freudenthal can do.
