Surely one of the best releases to come out of the Kompakt label. Ignore the A-side and flip straight for the two cuts of Robson Ponte; the second variation being an electro take on the first (techno) cut at the same tempo. Robson Ponte himself is a Brazilian football player, who in 1999 at the time of this release was transferred to Bayer Leverkusen; a possible clue then of which team Reinhard follows. Kompakts' output has long since faded into sub-standard banality, but stick to the (very) early catalogue and you can't go wrong. The label peaked in 1999 and bar a few releases from 2000 it has sadly been a slippery slope down to popularity & profit.

Super big time techno: tough beats tempered by the catchiest vocal-loop workout I've heard in a very long time: Robson Ponte, te ,te, te. When I later learned that 'Robson Ponte' is actually a soccer player on Brazil's Wolfsburg team, I loved the track even more because dedicating a techno track to a soccer player is a very fine and German thing to do.
