2023 Edition with additional track “Can You Feel It” Tracklist: A1. In The End (I Want You To Cry) A2. Holding Back (My Love) B1. TheThenUnknown B2. Can You Feel It (2023 Vinyl Bonus) 2023 Edition with additional track “Can You Feel It” Tensnake has been Hamburg’s best-kept secret. Has been! Past 12“s for labels like Radius, Mirau (which he co-runs) or his gorgeous „Keep Believin’“ three-tracker for Endless Flight speak louder than words. On top he delivered all these nice remixes for the likes of Junior Boys (“FM” is theee one), Sally Shapiro or more recently Toby Tobias on Rekids. Firmly rooted in New York’s sweaty boogie dreams and with a soft spot for dazzling house music, “In The End” stays true to Tensnakes’ juicy techniques and pleases our friends and colleagues (Radio Slave, Robet Dietz, Prins Thomas, Gilb’r, Mark E) alike. We start off with a courageous house tune that has all the qualities of an a-side and concisely defines the dilemma of lovers: in the end someone always has to cry. But as long as it sounds like a Cutty Ranks’ rocket launcher, we waan’t test it. The other side of the medal features “Holding Back My Love” a slow-motion disco robot bomb with a crooning Tensnake on the mic that makes everyone feel happy like they should. Finally, “TheThenUnknown” somehow melts the moodiness of early Factory records (think A Certain Ratio with a little finger exercise) with the atmosphere of Kenneth Dixon Jr.’s “Misled” - one for the heart, soul and your headphones. At least, Gerd feels and thinks like that. Speaking of feelings. If downloads are your thing, you can get the digital bonus track “Can You Feel It” at all the usual spots. How is that for a change? This guy ain’t a Blindschleiche.
