More reviews by
Artist: CLP
Title: Homecourt/Dip Shorty E.P.
Format: 12"
Label: Shitkatapult
Rated: * * * * *
Chris De Luca musical history begins in 1995 with "Godzilla vs. Metalhead", the first 7" of Funkstörung. He along with Michael Fakesch released different records for various labels (their last one has been !K7) and remixed tons of other artists of the likes of Björk, Faust and Jean-Michel Jarre. After ending that adventure ten years after, Chris released a solo album in 2002, titled "Deadly Wiz Da Disko" and on this one he started to put hip-hop influences into his sound. CLP experience started in 2006 when Chris teamed up with Phon.o. They collaborated before, exactly when Funkstörung had still to do some gigs when Michael Fakesch already left: Phon.o helped out and the duo noticed that there was a good chemistry. CLP a.k.a. Chris de Luca vs Phon.o released their first album "Supercontinental " on October 2008 for Shitkatapult. This 12" contains two versions of two tracks coming from that album and on both of them we have the NYC rapper Kovas on vocals. Side A has the "CLP double dutch mix" and "Housemeister's eurodance mix" versions of Homecourt (the first one is a adrenaline hip-hop shot with brass sounds, choruses and stops and go while Housemeister is giving to it a techno 4/4 versions). Side B opens with the original mix of "Dip shorty" followed by the "Bugati force rabiata mix" of it. A distorted lo-fi version with 8 bit guitar samples and cool vocal mixes.
