Paul Birken & Freddy Fresh

New tracks from two US Midwest Techno legends that has been getting love from new school producers Blawan, Perc, Objekt and 2562! Teaming up for the first of two collaborations on this 12\'', Paul and Freddy open with The Fate of Thirty Eight - a belting slab of analogue techno. Acid Sound of Malibu sees Paul flying solo, laying down a teasing reverb-soaked warehouse cut. On the b-side the pair team up again on 'Fifty Is Shifty': a distorted and demented electro workout. Closing the ep is Freddy's 'Year Back'. Originally released in 1998, it was squashed onto one side (with 5 other tracks) of his Last True Family Man album on Eye Q. Recommended.
