Night Sports “Kids In Europe (Der E-Kreisel Remix)” (exclusive)

08 Dec 2014 — Henning Lahmann

Copenhagen native Caspar Bock's latest project Night Sports is a head-on trip into nostalgia: composed with synthesizers, samplers and drum machines from the late 70s to mid-80s, his EP Kids In Europe makes no attempt in being progressive. Squishy and drenched in analogue warmth, the traditional synth pop arrangements are made to sound like being played on 25-year old tape decks. Retromania? You bet. We won't blame him, though – the melodies are just a little bit too perfect to be mad at Bock. Whether it was really necessary to top it all off with a found VHS documentary from the beginnings of Kosovo's rave scene in the early 90s – as riveting as completely unrelated – is another question. Berlin-based Der E-Kreisel pulls "Kids In Europe" back into the 21st century with a slick, clean house production that may almost serve as an antithesis to the original. Take a listen below.

The Kids In Europe EP is out on Motor Entertainment.
