Helena Hauff Meets Andreas Gehm vinyl

The acid is in full flow here as Solar One Music brings together Helena Hauff and Andreas Gehm for an almighty clash of 303s! The idea of pairing up Pudel resident Hauff with her elder Koln-based compatriot Gehm is a compelling one and makes you wonder why another label hasn't considered it before. Entitled simply Helena Hauff meets Andreas Gehm, the 12" sees Hauff and Gehm draw for two of their densest manipulations of the Roland 303; the Pudel resident in typically loose, straight to tape form on the intense "Rupture". There's more of a robotic feel to "The Purely Painful Confrontation Of Opposites" and it's fairly overwhelmed by the sheer brutishness of Gehm's colossal and sleazy ghetto acid gutter track "HKX". The amusingly named final track "Solar Two" is vintage acid techno, all brisk bouncing rhythms and tumbling kicks drums.
