#90 Feat. Staff Picks in Indie Dance

The Tegel Boys have triumphantly hit their stride with their new original track, Fall In Line. That is to say they have cracked the code and have tapped into the raw and unique purity of their individual and collective sonic instincts. Fall In Line is a full contact cowboy breakbeat Turkish acid psych kraut wiggler, a brilliant distillation of the component parts that make up the boys magic. Thunderous old-school breaks, irresistible bop with raucous cowbell flair opens up this original, while outrageous samples intone pitch-perfect dancefloor commands with that characteristic western-drawl. (Singer Joel is an avowed lysergic cowboy hailing from Texas, with a twinkling eye for rave-acapella hijinks). Bold electro-bass throb builds until suddenly the track snakes forward with a hypnotic Turkish pysch-guitar figure. Staccato strummed guitar joins the fray, and the whole band is positively surging forth with motorik-disco mechanics. Harmonica-melodica licks, molten guitar eruptions build to a crescendo until it boils over into a taught, melodic chug into infinity. The band is all at once channeling Anatolian liquid-sunshine, gritty-western cinematics, and modern club acid electronics, the marvelous ingredients for this absolute belter. Shahrokh Dini & Phil Rosplesch Remix: Timeless soul swing is the mood as the remixers tease in a monstrous house strut to the mix. Immaculate cowboy missives guide you as this unnervingly seductive and elastic track builds and builds. Dynamic clapback rhythms collide with the Turkish-guitar variations in perfect unity as this remix transforms the original chug into an altogether late-night goliath of a house exploration.
