Andreas Gehm aka ELEC Pt 1 - Voodoo Wolf

Given his impressive track record - a plethora of must-have 12" singles on Mathematics, Bunker and Abstract Acid, and last year's brilliant Black Purkee LP on Solar One Music - you'd expect this latest expansive 12" from German analogue explorer Andreas Gehm to be pretty darn irresistible. Predictably, it is. Voodoo Wolf features a sextet of stripped-back machine jams, which range from the spooky acid house of "Warming To The Galaxy" and ragging, Steve Poindexter-meets-Phuture wildness of "If I Was", to the riotous, Dancemania-ish ghetto-house revelry of "Clap Your Hands" and the Larry Heard-ish melancholia of "77-88".
