Ranging from electronica to experimental, from minimal pop to state of the art song deconstruction, this first album of the transatlantic duo Fanatico will comprise a diverse selection of cover songs as well as new original material. Can you imagine Patti Smith and Led Zeppelin tracks with dance beats? You will after listening to “Dancing Daze”.
Fanatico is a new project of DJ-producer Mathias Schaffhäuser and vocalist Jorge Socarrás from New York.
The project came about when Mathias Schaffhäuser did a remix of a track from the Patrick Cowley and Jorge Socarrás vintage 70’s album, “Catholic,” which was retro-released in 2009 by Macro Music, Berlin. The two men had never met, but Socarrás contacted Schaffhäuser to say how much he liked the remix. Schaffhäuser, who was an old fan of Socarrás’ 80’s band, Indoor Life, replied suggesting that perhaps they might work together sometime. Through subsequent emails both expressed how they’d each been wanting to interpret some cover songs, eventually leading to Socarrás going to Köln in August 2010 and spending a week recording with Schaffhäuser in his studio. The two had remarkable chemistry from the start, working together as if they were longtime music partners. Indeed Socarrás felt that in Schaffhäuser’s envelope-pushing minimalism he’d found a contemporary successor to his earlier collaborators.

So Fine aka Citizen Kain, is also very known. He brings a great summer, open air feeling to us with his interpretation of 'Tessio '
Dimitri Kechagias review: Yellow Tail presents the brand new remixes on some of the finest tracks from Fanatico's groundbreaking album Dancing Daze. First of all So Fine aka Citizen Kain put his hands on the magnificent Tessio and service a mesmerising deep tech house version that is summery sun shinning and really relaxing and very danceable at the same time. Chunky groovy beats, funky basslines, rock guitars build a road movie like atmosphere that will lock you in its groove straight away and carry you on board for a hypnotic journey. On the other hand G.C.P. embarks for a very cool balearic house interpretation with tribal groovy beats, playful basslines, ambient style sounds, old school organ riffs and piano melodies too. The result is cool, calming, soothing and absolutely magical. "Jack The Box" remix the magnificent Whatever Gets You Through The Night and they service a powerful banging tribal techno 9 minutes epic version that is powerful, energetic and work perfectly with the superb vocals. Its the kind of track that djs like Danny Tenanglia or Dubfire could easily play in their sets. Lastly on Dreams the talented Hans Nieswandt provides his raw techno version that starts with breakbeat style intro and then moves to the more energetic old school infused version that sounds more analogue than digital. From the vocal he uses just a small phrase and highlights the word Thunder. If you like the sharper more uncompromising techno sounds Hans delivers the right remix for you. Excellent reworks to blow your speakers and give the tracks the chance to communicate with wider audiences. Love IT
