Steve kotey needs little introduction, head honcho of bear entertainment, an accomplished producer and a member of chicken lips. stevie's schedule takes him to the hippest clubs around the world be it japan, germany, italy or london as well as finding time to put out his own productions and compile compilations for the likes of !k7 & strut. kotey is joined on this record by max essa. having previously released on paper recordings back in 2001 max also played guitar with the infamous, long distance runners. most recently he has produced the midnight garden e.p', a glorious collection of slo-mo disco, rock and sunset vibes steve & max have delivered 3 beautiful records in the shape of the "salon de l herbe" series. this ep offers up everything good that is disco from the up tempo "1974" a side to the spaced out vibes of "1988". if that wasn't enough this 12" release is finished off with a 3rd track "1981" on the cosmic / balearic tip. the years may become confusing but with live drums, guitars and slick arrangement words can't do these productions justice. more to come from these two with a follow up in the "salon de l herbe" series due to be released in june / july '08, exciting stuff
