DJ Hell – Neoclash LP [GIGOLO367]

‘Neoclash’ is DJ Hell’s new work. The Electroclash of the early 2000s is reconstructed here, its characteristic codes extracted and reshaped into a modern, reflective form. Neoclash is a cultural experiment – music as a medium of reflection, a structure for space and time, and a vehicle for exploring the tensions between technology, the body, and perception. Electroclash now – or a manifesto for the aesthetic relevance of electronic club music, combining strong old-school references with a new understanding. DJ Hell, a.k.a. Helmut Josef Geier, delivers a contemporary reinterpretation of the Electroclash genre. International Deejay Gigolo Records was the pulse of the movement 25 years ago – and Hell, its very namesake. Godfather of Electroclash reloaded. 25 years and many milestones later, DJ Hell returns to his roots with Neoclash, proving that Electroclash in 2025 can sound not nostalgic, but forward-thinking and visionary. Neoclash builds a bridge between past and present within electronic dance culture and club music.

VA – CD Twelve Sampler 2 of 2 [GIGOLO271D]

Three tracks of deep and dirty house music lifted from the forthcoming International Deejay Gigolo compilation. Nick Coleman’s ‘This City I Love’ is almost like a sleazier, sample based version of Levon Vincent’s ‘Six Figures’ with hypnotic strings and sexually charged bass libido, while DJ Linus takes it to downtown Detroit with the crackly beatdown textures of ‘Are You Ready?’. Best of the pack is Herman Schwartz’s gruff Chicago jack joint, a must for fans of Legowelt!
