Shambhu the undisputed Queen of the Berghain bar ladies (she regulary holds court every Saturday upstairs at her very own Gitter Bar) and Rummelsnuff the Germanic Hulk of the Berghain/Laboratory bouncers come up with enchanting and surprising results. The release comes pressed as a 7" (a first for the label and limited to 500 hand-numered copies) and each side is given to one of the two artists. Recording sort of cover versions that developed more into original tracks inspired by releases from Ostgut Ton's back catalogue, Shambhu And The True Love Hearts got their teeth into Steffi's "Sadness" and created a new version full of grit and raw power steeped into Gospel, Rock & Roll, Blues and Soul, the vocals of Shambhu are quite incredible, which she also proved live at her band's recent concert at Berghain. Rummelsnuff has been recording his unique brand of Industrial Music meets Drinking Songs for quite some time now and many are already familiar with his sound, for this 7" he has taken the track "Makes Me Wanna Dance" by Prosumer & Murat Tepeli and created a German version in true Rummelsnuff style, linear teutonic beats push the track straight through and the repetitive chorus creates a further link to the Techno side
