Label: MDZ Format: LP
Here’s a House record with a difference – the tracks are based around a real drummer and bassist. This isn’t to say that Upper Disker should be listened to for the difference, it should be listened to for the music – which is something Oh. do very well. They didn’t give the track “We Rock For You” it’s name for nothing.
The five guys from Germany have created some great Electro drenched with antique analogue synths: Korg Polysix and Moogs as well as samplers of all kinds. Analogue tweaks float on top of a serious rhythm section. As Oh say: the second album is not only a yes to groovy basslines but also a big hello to club and dancefloor. Who am I to argue?
Upper Disker fulfilled my need for House, it fulfilled my need for Electro, and it satisfied my appetite for monosyllabic synthesizers. If it only contained vitamins and nutrients … but nothing is that perfect. Oh come close though.
