Hess Is More
Our crazy friends from Copenhagen are finishing a new EP.
Since their debut EP on Gomma the New York/ Copenhagen based music collective has been involved in ballet music for the danish royal theatre, did several Jazz festival gigs and lot of other fucking amazing musical things that go far beyond the usual dancefloor electronic.
Now they are finishing their next EP with the help of some serious Jazz musicians.
Get ready…
Hess Is More is a 7 person musician’s collective based in New York and Copenhagen around musical mastermind Mikkel Hess. They released their Gomma debut EP last June. Strange, beautiful music from outta space.
Now here come the remixes. Dimitri from Paris did an effective, supersexy disco stomper. Keeping a lot from the original version. The crazy voices, the Punk Funk feel, the moody, new wave atmosphere. But now it’s a club bomb. Then Williamsburg’s hidden underground star Lorne Dune reworked the other song. In a more edgy, distorted way. Beautiful. Then you have a version by Munich’s Pollyester. The former bass player of Munk now has gone solo. She does this kind of naive, early 80ies, powerdisco you could hear at clubs like the Loft or DJ Harvey playing. The EP also features a extra long version of the song Primate. Orgastic Hardcore Disco Rock.
