What a happy surprise: 25 years after the release of "Die Summe der einzelnen Teile" by Kante, Acid Pauli delivers a bomb of a remix. His uptempo techno version turbocharges the Hamburger Schule classic, a German song that ponders the wonders of making music: ”In some moments, for a while, it emerges as more than the sum of its parts”.
Acid Pauli first dropped the unreleased track in his live sets and his Pingipung Podcast (#175), and when he asked Kante what they thought about the dopamine-drenched rendering of their pop hit from 2000 in his DJ mix, thumbs and smiles went up all around.
When it turned out that Acid Pauli had even another Kante edit up his sleeve, this 7’’ single found its shape. On the B side he marries his kick drums to the slow, yearning "California" from Kante’s 1997 debut album "Zwischen den Orten".
So here it is: Pingipung proudly presents Kante on Acid – two bangers for the festival season that take us back to the roots of Hamburg's pop music, refracted by Acid Pauli's energetic, psychedelic groove.
