a twinkle, a spark, and there you have it. many will say they saw it coming. at some point you could no longer ignore the signs, and actually you’d suspected it all along: glamour is back in the club. berlin has become what new york was in 1981 and aérea negrot is the eartha kitt of the post-techno age. as part of hercules & love affair, perhaps the most enigmatic disco-ball band of the present day, the venezuelan disco diva has tackled issues of gender code through a four-four discourse and convinced the world that a slick performance under a strobe light can outdo than anything that has appeared in the light of day. now – as a taste of what’s to come on her album next year – she is releasing her first ep on bpitch…

all i wanna do
by cleverly combining the roles of artist, artwork and muse, she evades any attempt at pigeon-holing and transcends her own persona with the rasping soul in her voice to become an icon of the new berlin underground. “all i wanna do is sing and let my brain fuck my emotions.” this is what we’ve been waiting for. such an arty approach, such a killer execution. for an opera diva with this kind of pounding synth in her armoury, boundaries are only there to be danced over. this is eclecticism as dirty and playful as you could possibly like. it’s as if esg just wandered into berghain by mistake.

hair women and their hair – a timeless topic. especially when the problem is posed in a manner which recognizes its significance in terms of forming identity. personality begins on the head. anyone who refuses to stick with one style and opts for change and variation knows about the multiplicity of options and has seen that the grass is always greener on the other side. “every normal woman on earth should complain about her hair.” with a latent hysteria detectable in the synth melody and a nervous dionysian chorus in the background, the problem is explored in its metaphysical dimension. this finally results in a song surrounded by theatrical gestures and
spiritual invocation which, despite its transcendental weight, click-clacks along with a relaxed and funky demeanour.

all i wanna do (efdemin remix)
efdemin carves these tracks into a dark, glistening sculpture with a glowing heart and powerful shoulders bearing the dust of a motor city from days gone by. the softly sparkling synths, the subtly slowed-down vocal sample and the piercing high-hat. everything has its proper place. wherever you look, your eyes are met with reduced elegance, noble simplicity and serene grandeur. this is detroit classicism at its most impressive.

hair (tobias. remix)
“burn my head.” of course, tobias. picks the catchiest vocal snippet of all and underpins it in his inimitable manner with a restless synth loop which is capable of carrying this subtle techno masterpiece throughout the entire track. nevertheless, the drifting waves of tragedy and monumental peak of the original still have pride of place in this remix. after all, this is still opera, even though the fizzing hi-hat and reverb promise us the subtlest form of techno. this is a track to prove that what wagner described as the “total work of art” still functions best between the rusty steel bars of east berlin’s 20-meter-high factory spaces.

digital only: sing (all i wanna do))
for the digital bonus track, mme. negrot comes up with an aesthetically sublime house number which slightly reduces the vocal part, plucks along in complete unawareness of itself and generates an introverted funk which hasn’t been heard since nicolas jaar’s “flashy flashy” cover. it’s a piece which finds the power in its own inner calm to realise its complete intricate soul potential..
