All That Glitters Vera

Over the last year a new generation of young and ambitious house producers from Frankfurt to Mannheim have caused quite a stir. Vera Heindel is part of the scene in the Rhine Main area, which is the new centre for innovative and modern house and techno tracks, and „People’s House“, her first release on Cargo Edition at the end of 2008 received huge attention from critics and fans alike. This time around Vera dishes up four top-notch house tracks for us which demonstrate her unique way of producing - using reduction and funk, the two constants of her music. „Jump The Hump“ concentrates on two things: a devastastingly simple bassline and a vocal sample which gives the track a lightness and an understatement which you seldomly find in house tracks. Miss Fitz, Vera’s project partner in Mara Trax, heads more to the dancefloor with her remix, but without giving up the special character of Vera’s style. The B-Side continues to drive with a high dose of funk. A clear organ chord gives „Ling“ both playful and elegant moments and with the vocal sample and the easy-going beats it becomes a typical „Vera- Track“. The final track on the EP „Hallimasch“ is espescially catchy with it’s melodic and complex style, triggering positive feelings all around.
