| Higamos Hogamos is the new project of Steve Webster (Black Neon, Fort Lauderdale) and Toby Jenkins (Zan Pan, The Squire Of Somerton, Fort Lauderdale) and "Major Blitzkrieg" is their debut single for DC Recordings, an explosive swagger of anthemic fury that perfectly sets out their sonic manifesto: to fuse together their fetishism for analogue synthesizers with the sexual exuberance of 70's rock n' roll! As will be apparent on the forthcoming eponymous album (due 16th March 2009) "Major Blitzkrieg" displays but one dimension of this formidable duo's repertoire (to follow will be another single featuring the space age pop of "Infinity Plus One") yet its electro-fied quality immediately caught the attention of DC overlord J. Saul Kane, whose re-emergence in the guise of Depth Charge is manifest here in his schizoid "Buzzer" remix. Augmenting the original sonic textures with a ferocious electronic bass line and numerous divergent rhythms and unidentifiable noises, this is an audacious concoction that will shake the bravest dancefloors. Mickey Moonlight, fresh from the stunning rework of Sun Ra's "Interplanetary" (Ed Banger Records) also remixes the original, introducing tongue-drum melodies and high-life guitars; congotronic percussion going head to head with pulses of Higamos' original to make a dance floor remix of sultry tropical charm. Watch out For Higamos Hogamos live dates in early 2009 and the forthcoming self titled album release in March. |
