Elektrochemie has been called a 'super-group'; its ranks consisting of the highly respected producer Thomas Schumacher and the bewitching,
galvanizing vocal presence of Caitlin Devlin; but unlike most super-groups, Elektrochemie is at least the sum of its formidable parts, and its gift to us is
sophisticated and heavy-hitting dancefloor music with a human heart - albeit a heart flecked with ice.
The 'Get Yourself' EP is Elektrochemie's third offering for Get Physical, following the incredibly wellreceived 'Pleasure Seeker', 'Don't Go'
and 'Mucky Star' 12's. Opening track 'Faking' begins in lulling, opiated fashion, flirting with spaced-out tom sounds before a fierce kickdrum arrives to
really get the (techno) show on the road.
Caitlin's voice, at once sinister and enticing, advises us to 'move into it, be done with all that superficial shit', and as Stephan and Thomas work the
percussion, jotting around the beats with pitch-shifting analogue basslines and hissing hi-hats, you'll be unable to resist 'Faking''s breathless forward
momentum.
