DIE FORM - Her(t)z Frequenz

„God devotion, god devotion! Animal fever, animal fever!“ A repetitive mantra on a ritualistic Electro-beat made French Art-Electro-project Die Form’s track “Bite of God” one of the most distinctive and memorable club experiences of the Nineties. The special way that Philippe Fichot and Eliane P. were contrasting monotonous rhythms, cold, synthetic sounds and manipulated vocals with clear female voices and analogue warmth created an electrifying experience, comparable to a hypnotic pull. Conceived as a multi-medial art project from the very beginning, Die Form combined music, photography and video to a highly intense reflection on love in its extreme forms. Die Form have always used their releases as vehicles for expressing their emotions rather than playing the part of a remote observer… which accounts for their music also being able to unfold its power to full impact when removed from its multi-medial context on the dance floor of a club… and which makes tracks like “Bite Of God” still mandatory spins at any decent dark disco event.

With their new single “Her(t)z Frequenz”, Die Form are now returning their concept art to the clubs. A driving beat builds the foundation for an energetic interplay between Fichots cold, electronically manipulated vocals and Eliane P.’s mesmerising, fairy-like melodies. The title track is a cunning combination of the catchiest grooves ever to be found on a Die-Form-release and the hypnotic interaction between coldness and emotions that has always been the unique trademark of this project. The b-side is a re-recorded version of the classic “Bite of God” which features new beats and more dominant female vocals and builds up to a magnificent rhythmic crescendo at the end – a stunning appetizer for the upcoming compilation of the group’s best tracks in newly recorded versions. The single is rounded off by exclusive remixes and alternative versions. With “Her(t)z Frequenz”, Die Form prove yet again that they are an absolutely unique act in today’s club scene and are bound to put an entire new generation under their spell. Limited Edition of 1.000 copies, Digipak. [Release: 3rd Oct. 2008]
