In its relatively short life-span, Kindisch has proven itself to be a natural home for innovative, idiosyncratic club music, with the likes of H.O.S.H., Raz Ohara, Diskjokke and Gavin Herlihy contributing daring, distinctive but invariably club-smashing 12"s to the series. Einzelkind, aka Arno Völker and Miguel Ayala, are no strangers to the label, having already recorded three EPs themselves; for their latest effort, they've teamed up with the inimitable Douglas Greed for ICE 1656 EP. The Einzelkind guys first crossed paths and began making tracks with Greed back in their 90s drum'n'bass days, but they've always enjoyed separate, if complementary, musical identities. According to Greed, it's not just their different musical sensibilities, but their different backgrounds, personalities and haircuts that make their collaborations so interesting! In A1 'La Belle', a rolling, woodblock rhythm sets the scene for the abstracted keyboard tones which cluster around the track's middle, cranking up the drama and throwing the bottom-line bass throb sharp relief, ahead of the dirty, flanged synth line that'll gleefully force any dancefloor into submission. 'La Belle''s beauty lies in its simplicity - Einzelkind and Douglas Greed use a small, well-chosen assortment of percussive and melodic elements to create a wonderfully tense, propulsive club track with not even a hint of flab about it. For B1 'Ed The Optician', the trio inject a bit of funk into proceedings. It's a slinky little number, characterised by an expanding and contracting, analogue-sounding synth-line, woodwind samples and a bouncy, morse-code bassline: together making for a warm, grooving track that will work well in warm-up and peak-time sets alike, not to mention at home. B2 'Squirls in a Bathtub' is a similarly supple, funk-fuelled cut, driven by haunting, almost animal-like noises (perhaps the 'squirls' of the title?) and which mutate into wiry acid lines while the aquatic bass drum, hissing shaker and pressurised snares keep the rhythm tight and robust.
