Modeselektor’s Monkeytown label has never shied away from releasing music that’s a little eccentric and left-of-centre. Even so, few would have expected them to release a minimal techno-inspired atmospheric deep house cover of Nirvana’s grunge classic “Smells Like Teen Spirit”. The men responsible are – somewhat surprisingly – RY X and Ame’s Frank Wiedemann, who don the Howling alias for the first time since their eponymous debut on Transmodern. Their interpretation is one of those records that will divide opinions; those who love it will claim it’s a nine-minute chunk of winding, atmospheric house with a beguiling, haunting vocal atop. Certainly, you can feel the pain and anguish in the vocal.
