quant - i like this

first time i heard of quant was when musikmagasinet did a special on the gothenburg electronic music scene back in '00-01. there was a lot of exciting house and jazz fusion stuff coming out of that scene dubbed gonkyburg. they showcased ernesto, andreas saag, quant and a few others and it was mindblowing to be honest. since then i kept my ears open for that stuff and i'm a big fan of andreas saag in general. this track however came out on north of no south sublabel dot and this label attracted a lot of attention because of it's fresh sounds and exciting fusions.

this one was a b-side to "intestinal sound" which was quant's first release on dot and i bought the record for buckfunk 3000's remix of "intestinal sound" but i found a big liking to this one as well. it's a mid-tempo smooth electro funk groove with a heavy bass and vocoders. it's minnesota meets paris in gothenburg and it's all love.

for further listening i deeply recommend his 2000 album "quantastical quantasm" which shows quant's shades of funk and does it really well. his subsequent second album and works on austrian label ecco.chamber are also good. after that he left the electronic music scene for doing production for pop acts and he's been doing tracks for kylie amongst others.
