puss - master & slave (fpu remix)

this one came to my attention somewhile after i bought the fpu (peter benisch) remix of paris' "disco fever". i saw the puss seven inch record in stockholm recordstore pitch on their old location. there was a buzz about puss at the time (i'd say early noughties) and how they made music using a gameboy and a special cartridge and cable system.

the original is a chiptune riff and a simple vocal saying: "we are synchronized by our small device / i'm the master (said by tobian hofsten aka tobi-wan), i'm the slave (said by josefin karlsson aka laydj) / when we use our cable, everything is stable / i'm the master, i'm the slave"

benisch's version beefs up the original heavily and adds some new melodies & sounds but he also puts the vocal in a vocoder and for the electro vibe. sonically the remix is very similar to the one of "disco fever" and i really love that tune and i love this one also.

i really like the combination of the chiptune, benisch's sounds and all the robofunk and it's been fun to work this one in sets even though it's been seldom. reason being because it's at 140bpm and when i'm playing at that tempo i'm more likely to play techier or trancier things. sometimes i play more bassier things and then with some breaks it tends to fun work it in. killer tune none the less.
