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 70s 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 80s band, Indoor Life, replied suggesting that perhaps they might work together sometime. Through subsequent emails both expressed how theyd 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 Schaffhäusers envelope-pushing minimalism hed found a contemporary successor to his earlier collaborators.

Dimitri Kechagias review: 4 new translations on the great tracks taken from the latest Fanatico album are definitely very welcome. Yellow Tail reveals 4 new remixes that deserve your attention. Lady Blacktronika remix on Dancing Days is a powerful old school techno version with great flavours from the past. It actually reminds me Dave Angel bouncy pumping techno sound. Its very upfront with dominating pounding fearful basslines and very dark moody atmosphere. Moritz Ochsenbauer & David Floyd feat. Jakob Reiter remix starts with nice piano intro and with the cool vocal on top. The main part of the track is quite tripping chilling relaxing and playful. It makes you think of sunny holidays and yourself dancing on this track barefoot in the sand. Experimental electronica blissful version from eclectic tastemakers. Tim Schroeder retouches Dancing Days and he service a wonderful deep techy version that lock you instantly in its electronic groove and hypnotic atmosphere. Excellent application synthy melodies that add that electro pop 80's feel to it. Its one of those tracks that you can resist the beat, the rhythm and the excellent atmosphere. Prepare to dance then. The legend and pioneer Mathias Schaffhäuser presents his own make over to Dancing Barefoot and he goes on the minimal deep house direction that he is an expert of course. His many years of experience are reflected on his composition style that make you feel like watching a live band performing and less that is a computer programmed track. Awesome percussion and deep haunting basslines with minimal use of the vocals in a very creative dubby way. It has so much sunlight and sea that makes you wanna dance barefoot straight away without thinking of the consequences. Quality sparkling electronic dance music for those who still have faith in the underground. Love it
