Night after night, all the Elektrofants in the big party jungle sat down and listened to Babar, the oldest Elektrofant and his fantastic stories. "-Just one more story", shouted the youngest little elektrofant. So there they sat there around the fire and listened with big eyes while eating fried bananas. Babar was the big noisy bass elektrofant, you could hear his footsteps a mile away which made the other smaller elektrofants a little bit scared. Dumbo was sometimes playing some music for the little elektrofants with his big tusk which was much appreciated. Despite beeing laughed at sometimes , dumbos big ears actually made him one of the most talented tusk programmers in the whole big party jungle. Pellefant was the little blue singing elektrofant. He could sing in the most fantastic colors and was often to be seen on the top of the mountain singing by himself in the sunset. Snabeln is the part of the elektrofant that makes these excellent acid party sounds and if you listen carefully to these recordings you can really feel the great atmosphere and spirit amongst these fantastic creatures. So, feel welcome to join the elektrofant family party! These elektrofants will rock every dance floor on the planet!

Heads up! Heads up! Solid EP alert!

This one is a keeper. Each piece has such a distinct personality, yet they all tie together so well, clearly of the same family. Basically summarised as follows:


Babar: hyped up on the red cordial, this one is bound to run wild on the dancefloor.

Dumbo: the meandering weirdo. Wanders slowly about the place clearly in its own spaced-out little world.

Pellefant: the most underestimated member perhaps? at first glance seems to be pretty mild, but grows up into a cold-hearted little monster

Snabeln: such a highly emotional family member. With large sections of techy groove thrown in for good measure, makes me think they're perhaps bi-polar?


Brilliantly produced EP. A staggering amount of different emotions displayed across the release, with most of it being done entirely with instruments (Pellefant being the exception).

And the short tale about the 'Elektrofants' is a quint touch, makes you wish you had the physical version rather than the digital one : )
Rated 5/5

Wow that b2: Snabeln is so passionated, definitely the best Hugg et Pepp track @ the moment in my opinion.
Very deep rocking track surfing somewhere between techno, techhouse, acidhouse and with a little trancy glow.
