MP3DB.pro - Heimstatt Yipotash - H.Y.Breed (2CD) (2011)

In 2011, Heimstatt Yipotash celebrate their 10th birthday - and
the duo from Dresden have invited not less than 21 acts who they
have met throughout their career, have a strong personal
relationship to or they feel influenced by. As good hosts, they
let the guests have most of the fun this time and make available
tracks covering their entire lifespan to remix - while keeping
only two tracks for themselves. Why two, you might ask? Well,
two tracks for two entitities, as the birth of HY in 2001 was
actually a fusion of Heimstatt and Yipotash who had started
their creative endeavours separately, both doing live
performances and self-releasing limited CD-Rs, which they still
even continued after their first joint efforts. Since then, this
true H.Y.Breed band has spawned 3 albums, performed a number of
concerts and festival gigs and been active in side projects such
as the 8-bit-retro "No Go!" or "S?X Only". Back to the party and
the musical H.Y.Breeds that provide it's soundtrack - CD H.
starts the evening with P.A.L. setting the mood with deep drones
and dishy beats, that structure is taken up by DISPLACER in a
very cinematic piece. SONIC AREA contribute quirky, distorted
anti-pop, and SHORAI make the original tune one of their own
glossy electro tracks. 16PAD NOISE TERRORIST speed it up, gritty
almost-rave with a range of effects, before HY drop a headfuck
party tune with distinct vocal samples. Next up is THE_EMPATH,
he unwraps a playful workout with metallic beats, while TAKHTAHK
do it even more distorted and devilish. With GREYHOUND we
finally have something strongly on the Industrial side with the
original's Asian sound wall well in the mix - this version has
sure shot hit potential! Now let's descend into the basement
party area for the last three tracks of disc 1: ARX KAELI, the
special friend from Russia, leans towards dementia with
distorted beats, TARDIVE DYSKINESIA bring along unsettling Dark
Industrial and DAZZLING MALICIOUS close this disc on a strongly
experimental trip with psychoactive sound explorations. CD Y.
starts with a trinity of very catchy and attractive versions:
KEEF BAKER provides a playful and deep tune with a classic
melody - adult entertainment; TONAL Y NAGUAL work around an
irresistible pop melody that melts a hypnotic vocal before THE
RORSCHACH GARDEN introduce to us a far-out kind of beat-driven
pop music with Philipp Munch's distinct vocals. Next up an
Industrial couplet û CONTAMINANT work in the upper bpm range and
PROYECTO MIRAGE infuse HY with high-octane beats. AHNST ANDERS
treat you to a short period of relaxation before HY themselves
take some Electro beats into screaming overdrive. GREYHOUND have
another gift, a reversion of their track from disc 1 relying
solely on the distorted madness without the beats. THE_EMPATH
appear again as well, with a very cinematic, atmospheric tune
this time. MEZIRE represent a singular style on this collection
with an unsettling, dark Power Electronics style track.
SPHERICAL DISRUPTED take the party to space, and ATROX operates
in zero gravity with just a few tiny bits of sound. MAO closes a
colourful night with the most experimental and unsettling, the
weirdest and most freeform piece of them all. On your way home,
you will feel a sense of elation, for you have witnessed a
special party, a congregation of creative spirits and their
combined efforts that you know will leave a big impression on
you for along time.
