And here it is: the second vinyl ep of niko schwind’s album “good morning midnight\". it features some of the unique tracks that niko has created together with some of berlin’s hottest production talents. on the a side are two tracks that feature the clicky tech-house boys that are channel x, where things kick off with “back from the bar\". it sounds as the title suggests: a little wobbly, a little drunk, a little crazy, but also pretty magic. quite clearly this is an homage to one of berlin’s not-to-be-forgotten clubs that is unfortunately history now. but things continue on here at least with “don’t turn the lights on\", a more straightforward dancefloor track, with a trumpet as the main protagonist. this is one of those tracks that keeps leading up to a real arms-in-the-air-moment if it wasn’t so damn housy at the same time. on the flip the magical connection between niko and label daddy oliver koletzki can be heard on “master of ceremony\", a chopped-up house track with epic dimensions. when things get to the piano breakdown, they get very musical and colossal before dropping back into a great house track. the stark contrast between the piano melody and the groove on this really make it. last but not least then, the original album opener “good morning” that features the singing of fran. it works great as a great album opener, but also perfectly as a slower and more thoughtful addition to a great ep.
