Edinburgh Festival Gigs: Telefunken @ Cabaret Voltaire 2010/08/20

Just wanna give these guys a shout out for being even more fun than the last nite's Slam set in the end!

Didn't know what to expect from Slam save for "they are awesome... i've seen them three times and i'm still basically a slam virgin... my gf has seen them seven times!" They were fresh on the Glasgow scene just before my dad there went a bit stale (and bailed east). And while they scored hi on pounding seething techno points, I was a little disappointed that they took turns instead of DJing together.

But the two of Telefunken were sexing up the wee side room with squelchy funky basslines and sexy lectry organ riffs. Unlike the main room, it was not a sardine sweatbox. People were free to move about and express the funk thru bodywork, like swinging, bodypopping, leapfrogging, whatever. Their shit brought out the best of a few in the club that nite :)

Check out their site for a ton of mixes. Dunno what they were actually playing, but I suspect it's a lot of almost-forgotten Italian and German disco house giants. The two tunes below I requested but they didn't play. I think they'd fit the mood tho!

Lil Louis - French Kiss


808 State - Pacific State
