  • Latest edition in the ‘Misch Masch’ mix n' remix series finds dark electro lord DJ Hell in a happy mood. The double CD will be released early December. The ‘Misch Masch’ series has a simple concept: one disc is a mix, the other a collection of remixes by the same artist. For the first two editions, label Fine Music snagged top DJ/producers Tiefschwarz and Freeform Five to pull off the double act, and this time they’ve looked to veteran German electro DJ/producer to conjure the same trick: Helmut Josef Geier, aka DJ Hell. The series has also been forward-thinking but populist: the mix on Tiefschwarz’s installment merged bigger electrohouse with smaller minimal cuts back in 2004, while Freeform Five's effort mashed together rarer funk, electro and disco to many of the huge tunes of the year (‘Geht’s Noch?’ ‘I Feel Space’). Hell’s mix promises to play the same game, making room for lesser known cuts between the big club players (‘Rej’, ‘Falling Up’, ‘Phuture Bound’). This might come from the dark depths of hell, but it sure looks like lots of fun. As for the remixes, Hell has chosen a variety of subjects to put through his dark electro mill over the years. Aside from his massive Justice Vs Simian ‘Never Be Alone’ remix (a track which he’s responsible for – he originally released it on his label International Gigolo) there’s rerubs across the genres, from Grace Jones to the Pet Shop Boys to Chelonis L. Jones. A best-of-Hell remixes disc then. DJ Hell ‘Misch Masch 3’ tracklist Disc One - Mixed by DJ Hell 01. Dopplereffekt / Z-Bozon 02. Sebo K. & Metro / Transit 03. Literon / Machine 1 04.
