Moon Fever (Lawrence Remixes)

It's been nearly two years since Superpitcher released his equally lunatic and magistral album "Kilimanjaro": an eternity for club life, but not more than a stone's throw for legendary producer Axel Schaufler, whose idiosyncratic mixture of yearning romance and hedonistic folly repeatedly stunned the public with its perceived timelessness. No wonder then, that "Kilimanjaro" was awarded with the French Qwartz Award 2012 for Best Album. With the "Moon Fever" remixes courtesy of Dial's Lawrence and President Bongo aka Gluteus Maximus (of GusGus fame), one oft he most beautiful, but also most mysterious tracks from "Kilimanjaro" gets the duly attention: with the original being an Ambient-infused, revelling ode to the night, the introspective, beatless "Moon Fever" didn't necessarily invite DJs to tear up the floor and has since become more of a domestic choice. The fact that the remixers had to work on material from a producer who made his name through countless fabled remixes himself probably didn't make things easier. But neither Lawrence nor President Bongo are known to shy away from a challenge, for their respective take on emotive club music sculpted many a crowd pleaser: they know how to deal with the big emotions in and outside of the club. That's why their reinterpretations prompt the dreamers as well as the dancers, a mindset more than familiar to Superpitcher's oeuvre. And the best part? "Moon Fever" has a bassdrum now!
