Spank Rock - Energy

· Going on five years after the release of the highly superior debut
album ‘YoYoYoYoYo’, mastermind Spank Rock aka Naeem Juwan
touched ground with the sophomore full-length, the excellently titled
'Everything Is Boring And Everyone Is A Fucking Liar'
(E.I.B.A.E.I.A.F.L.) , due later this year.
· Featuring production mostly handled by Boys Noize in addition to
single-shot offerings from the Neptunes’ Pharrell Williams, original
Spank Rock producer XXXchange, well known super-producer Mark
Ronson, as well as Sam Spiegel aka Squeak E. Clean of N.A.S.A. and
Chris Rockswell.
· The first single comes with a little aural accompaniment in the shape
of 'Energy', which ditches synthetic sheen to sample Can's ‘Vitamin
C’. "I need new energy” runs the chorus, showing Juwan's vision for
2011.
· Alongside the original track four remixers excellently joining the
party:
· The first remix delivered by Jan Driver out from the Boysnoize Rec.
camp is showing us the deep and hidden side of the track. While the
female vocals operating in the shadow background, the army of
trumpets rising in the front forcing you against the wall.
· The second remix is by the New Yorkers Win Win (XXXchange group)
starts with a cocktail and a cool summer breeze just right to that
moment after 2 min, where a siren bursts in, turning into a frenetic
laserbeam. But instead of a 4/4 beat climax the track suddenly drops,
setting the energy and your mind free.
· The Glimmers (Studio !K7/Diskimo), who have already remixed faves
like Freddy Mercury and Roxy Music so far, are pushing the track
back where it belongs - to the dancefloor.
· It sounds like Soft Cell and Human League have embraced Bootsy
Collin's bass guitar competing for space with Juwan's energetic voice
flow, addictive (digital single only).
· While on the other hand their second version called DG Disko, sends
out a disco-driven spaceship for us to join Juwan's 2011 odyssee.
You can even make out the stars and visualise Spank Rock riding
through the galaxy.
