Guido Schneider has cemented his reputation as one of the most consistent producers in 00s house and techno with releases on Pokerflat, Get Physical, Raum…Musik, and Moon Harbour. His return to Tuning Spork after 2005’s “Earth Browser” is something to get excited about, but Guido isn’t flying solo this time around. Instead, he’s teamed up with Tuning Spork boss Jay Haze for a joint EP that combines two very different styles. It’s a marriage made in techno heaven, a marriage without fighting, unwanted children, or a party featuring a gigantic disgusting cake. A1: Açai: This homage to one of Oprah Winfrey guest-star Dr Perricone’s 10 superfoods (the others include barley and buckwheat) is a deep and dubby piece of house music which isn’t afraid of bass. The groove is rolling and you can hear both Haze and Schneider’s styles melded together to create something that’s decidedly different from either producer working alone. A2: G-Force: Here Jay and Guido take things into a place that’s a little deeper and more tropical, with woozy melodies and rippling bongos splashing through a psychedelic early morning style track. B1: Açai Force (Fuckpony Dark Passenger Mix): On the flipside, it’s a case of two tracks becoming one. Here Haze dons his Fuckpony suit (has to be seen to be believed) to rework both “Açai” and “G-Force” into a groovier cut for the househeads amongst you, with that wasted Marshall Jefferson’s “Mushrooms” feel going on from start to finish. We hope this one will find a place in your record bags and on your turntables, and not wedged against the wall getting slowly warped by the incoming sunshine. With Guido vs. Jay, everyone is a winner, including you! Stay tuned for more of the Tuning Spork sound. (source:Wordansound)
