Hardworksoftdrink 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: It's no surprise that Hardworksoftdrink hail from the same town as the infamous Robert Johnson club. Unbeknownst to the more commercial end of the club spectrum, Offenbach is a centre for German underground music and has been so for the last thirty years. Frankfurt might get all the praise, but its this town on the outskirts of the financial capital that's grown the scene year on year. The small independent label are carving their name into the region's history, thanks to a close-knit group of producers, and this latest EP from Cedric Dekowski and Felix Reifenberg is a perfect example of the sort of freeform hedonism that has been at the core of the hub. Through glitchy, wayward beat constructions all filtered through a distinctive house edge, this duo are very much doing their own thing; no fillers and absolutely no gimmicks from start to finish. A class act.
