11Schnull & Newinfluenzer - Ich und meine Ubahn (w/ Matias Aguayo, Extrawelt, Architectural Remixes) [Turbo]

Format: 12" in printed sleeve.
CAT: Turbo245

When you love a record too much, you’ll soon find out if you really “have what it takes” to make it your own. Such is the case with Turbo label boss Tiga, who has been hammering 11Schnull & Newinfluenzer’s 2023 underground hit “Ich und meine Ubahn” in each and every one of his sets since its release outside of Turbo. But unbridled passion for a track isn’t always enough, and sometimes you have to take a step back and recognize that the music industry is also a business. And so, our in-house Corporate Development team—who has lately been totally* focused on figuring out how to monetize Tintin’s entry into the public domain—got to work, successfully licensing the original while creating the humorous and potentially life-saving opportunity to visualize how amicable the licensing process was.

All of which leads us to the remix pack at hand. The electro programming and vocal delivery of the 2023 original are nigh on perfect, leaving almost no room for improvement, save for the fact that its 4:20 runtime is not long enough for the average touring DJ to satisfy their “chatbot lover” before having to begin the painstaking work of cueing and mixing the next track. So, we enlisted producers able to interpret the song from different planes of existence: Chilean-German wizard Matias Aguayo, French hardstyle prodigy Krarmpf, German aesthetes Extrawelt, Hamburg electro master DJ MELL G, and Asturian cult Architectural. For reference, the planes evoked by these remixes are as follows: Ivermectin blackout; finally winning a pay-to-win mindfulness game; voted Best Teen Artist Alive by US Weekly readers; magically transformed into a small, muscular, inexpressive man; going viral; and jet lag cure our lives. It is not for us to say which remix corresponds to which realm of human experience, but we do know that it is limited to those options.

Finally, do not invite a chatbot lover to your wedding. Your spouse will be unable to compete. And please note that this advice is based on our best understanding of current global affairs and does not represent what a repressed Brit would call “taking the pee.” At their best, jokes are funny; the fate of the human bedroom, however, is no laughing matter.
