Broccoli Brothers – Ruhrschnellweg

This record can be classified as an all time classic even before it has been released. Several times Felix has played the testpressing of this record before a live audience and time after time they started screaming when he played AA1 ‘Ruhrschnellweg’. This track has a nice buildup that fades into some very beautiful strings and moody melodies. This track plays with you emotions and will finally bring you to Lalaland. Do you remember the magnificent ‘Altered States’ by Ron Trent?

THEE BLAK LABEL, 12”

PRESS

"The AA1 side has a very tasty, very deep track that can pull emotional strings every time. The production is dark, but the stab note structure is strangely uplifting. House music in the original sense." (Dave Clark, i-D Magazine No. 147)

"Felix’s offshoot of Radikal Fear produces yet another simply fantastic minimal groove." (Stuart McMillan & Orde Meikle, i-D Magazine No. 147)

"One for the submariners. ‘Catch it’ is an anonymous attempt to combine Chicago jacking with abstract electronic textures, but it’s the awesome ‘Ruhrschnellweg’ which is attracting a lot of attention. Harnessing the most beautiful strings. Another triumph for Felix da Housecat." (Musik Magazine No 7, Dec 1995)

"Die Platte kommt aus dem Rote Liebe (Essen) Umfeld und liefert mit ‘Ruhrschnellweg’ ein gekonntes House-Stück ab, dessen tiefe, melodische Pianochord-Basslinie sich ganz und gar in die Zwischenräume der mächtigen Bassdrum setzt und dort fast verschwindet, eine gewisse mystische Tiefe schafft, die sympathisch ist. Die anderen Mixe sind im Chicago-Stil bzw. relaxter arrangiert. (Triple R, Frontpage, Nov 1995)
