Sasse & Holmar Filipsson began working together in 2001 (along with Olivier Spencer of Still Going/DFA). Together they created “a slightly overweight boy-band” that went by the fore-boding moniker of Mr. Negative. After their first release on Crack & Speed (’The Star Spangled Banger’) they were quickly snatched up by Fine Records and released the huge ‘Better Than You’ EP to massive world-wide support. Then, after a whirlwind world tour, Mr. Negative finally split but not until after releasing their appropriately and negatively titled farewell EP, ‘Evacuate’ – followed shortly thereafter by a second, less negatively titled, encore farewell ‘More Than A Feeling’. Three years after the tearful and gossip fueled Mr. Negative split, Holmar & Sasse have de-cided to join forces once again. With ‘Lilly Louisa’, a cryptic ode to the oft overlooked sister of a famous American house producer, Holmar & Sasse have taken the old school dirt and flavor of the best of house music’s history and mixed it with their considerable modern pro-duction skills and up-to-date tastes. On the A side, the original’s non-stop drive taps into the hidden house music adrenal glands to deliver a pure, unabashed banger. Driving, sexed up, non-stop sweat inducing action. On the flip, GusGus attack the original with their warehouse of analog machines - simulta-neously extracting the essential groove of the track but infusing it with their own Icelandic party freak show. Minimal, maximal or whatever you want to call it, it’s a gem and one of GusGus’ finest remixes to date. Well done!
