Funk Gadget – Blah Blah (Patrick Pulsinger Remix)

In 1995, Andrez Bergen (Little Nobody) had a radio show on 3PBS FM in Melbourne called Cyberdada, and that year the most-played record – amidst awesome 12-inches from Relief, Axis, Tresor, Trope, and Force Inc – was actually a double-CD from Austrian label, Cheap.

It was called “90 Minutes in the Eyes of iO”, and produced by label bosses Patrick Pulsinger and Erdem Tunakan, with friends.

Bergen says that release floored him, and Pulsinger has continued on as a mainstay infuence in Little Nobody’s musical reference pallette ever since, via the Austrian producer’s own output (on labels like Disko B, Compost, Studio !K7, R&S, and International DJ Gigolo), as well as some of his brilliant remixes of people like DJ Hell, Chicks On Speed, Tosca, Tanzmusik and Ken Ishii.

Which brings us up-to-scratch, and Bergen’s latest foray into his Funk Gadget persona. In a recent review, Fun In The Murky scribe Trevor Wilkes described ‘Blah Blah’ as “Broken, bass-heavy beats and a wobbly synth; this one was felt 2 floors away when I first fired ‘er up.”

So, when it came to choosing a remixer for the track, Pulsinger’s name was at the very top of the list – and now we all know why. His mix is all wonderful bleeps, mesmerizing glitches, and chunky, sci-fi electro-tech grooves.

In fact, after hearing this baby, we can’t imagine anyone talented or intuitive enough to tackle the eclectic coolness of ‘Blah Blah’ with such versatile ease.
