"The only German word I know is Scheise"
Not relating to myself as I actually studied and lived in Germany for a while but these are the opening words uttered by Kovas on CLP's Dip Shorty.The track is from their Supercontinental album that I posted about back in January but tomorrow sees the release of the 12". It's a double A side release also featuring the other Kovas cut from the LP Homecourt. Both tracks appear in their original guises and the EP also contains remixes from Housemeister plus CLP themselves.
The digital only package also features another pair of remixes including this rather excellent offering from Unsportsmanlike which turns the original electro crunk outing into a filthy, orchestral rave monster reminiscent of Modeselektor's work - nice!

CLP also sent us a mix and at just shy of 90 minutes with 30 tracks along the way it's a fast-paced journey packed full of jump up party tunes.

Booty Call
Prior to hooking up to record together in 2006, both Chris De Luca and Phon.o had already made their mark on the musical map with De Luca in particular having become a well known name as half of Funkstoerung. Having initially combined their solo names to give title to their joint venture, the pair now release under the somewhat snappier moniker of CLP. Their debut album, Supercontinental, dropped at the end of last year and sees a number of guests sharing vocal duties on top of the pair's electro-tinged hip hop beats.Compared with many other releases on Shitkatapult the album is a rather euphoric affair and probably isn't going to be lapped up by those that like their music dark and moody. However, like most things that grace these pages, there's definitely a time and a place for this kind of booty shakin' fun.

Phon.o's solo output was a little more techy so for those with a penchant for things a touch darker (and dirtier on the lyrical front) here's something from his earlier solo album.

There's a CLP live set available from their website and you can buy Supercontinental from the usual outlets including Juno or on mp3 from Zero ".
