'Hail The Rhythm'
If there's one thing
Sebastian Komor knows, it's how to write tracks that will tear up
dancefloors. Whether its as part of Icon Of Coil, Zombie Girls or his
solo-project Komor Kommando, he has stamped his mark on numerous club
anthems that are regularly spun around the world. So with every new
release there is a certain level of expectation. Thankfully his
latest outing under the Komor Kommando moniker doesn't disappoint.
'Servus
Pulsu' is is a hard industrial / techno crosover that features
an unrelentingly addictive beat and dark pulsing synths fused with
Latin chanting. The result is something rather bombastic and
sinister, yet completely dance friendly. The title tracks is joined
by the instrumental b-side 'Cardiovascular System Check' which
immediately brings to mind the dystopian techno of a science fiction
soundtrack.
The cinematic feel is
then carried over onto the first remix of the lead track. This time
adding symphonic elements that again begs to be included on a
soundtrack. The EP is then rounded off with a dark electro inspired
remix courtesy of London's Inertia. Shifting the focus away from the
neo-classical and back towards 21st century dancefloors.
'Hail To The Rhythm' is
a strong EP / single that once again raises the bar for Komor in
terms of his song-writing. It's a curve ball admittedly, but one that
works very well and should be assured of long presence on many club
play lists.
