This is Claude VonStroke simply doing what he's good at. I should be ashamed of myself picking up this record early 2007, which is late...

'The Whistler' simply puts a smile on my face, while 'Who's Afraid Of Detroit' is a serious filler for sure.
Both tracks have a recognizable theme that made it such a strong release.
Both Claude and Dirtybird definitely have a winner with this. Wicked, wicked!
Rated 5/5
Review by restless Oct 11, 2006 (edited over 3 years ago)
This record is an epitome of the tech-house sound of 2006, from Ibiza to the most underground connoisseur floors : it includes some quirky minimalism (reminiscent of early Herbert or DBX), a touch of special jackin electro effects, a funky groove and a good dose of fun.
Both sides are massive hits : 'The Whistler' is a minimal mind driller in the vein of Roman Flugel's 'Geht's Noch', early Josh Wink hits or M. Oizo ; whilst 'Who's Afraid Of Detroit?' is a moodier yet ultra groovy minimal melodic number ideal for later hours in the night.
Brilliant record, an essential purchase to capture the spirit of 2006.
