Mallory O’Donnell: The first release from both Einzelkind and Get Physical’s new sublabel Kindisch is, appropriately enough, called “Introduction.” The three cuts spread across this EP stake a claim in deep electro territory, perfect midsummer treats for those who veg out in the haze to some serious low-end. “Marsha” sets the tone, stirring a clipped vocal, rave laserbeams, and a teasingly dropped-in and hastily-withdrawn breakbeat around in the pot to get thing simmering. “Freefall” is simultaneously more banging and weirder—the sound of your hard drive fornicating with your server, while a rugged bassline gurgles away obliviously and spooky synths peer through the blinds. But the best cut here is the last—”Grundstuck,” which Google translates as “basic stucco,” is some serious moody arms-waving action, bringing in muted disco strings, a booty-tormenting bass and some delicious bell tones over the intro and outro.

Ronan Fitzgerald: It’s difficult to see what the point of this sub-label is so far, or how it differs from Get Physical, but I’m going to assume this is a dumping ground/treasure trove for the demos of worthy producers who are nice to chat to, but are not in the inner GPM circle. Anyhow, this is a nice, but rather low key debut for both the label and Einzelkind. Skip straight to “Marsha,” a nice string laden Chicago house track, in the style of DJ T. but with a slightly darker twist.
