One of the finest and most recognisable producers working in techno today, Rene Pawlowitz is Evil Fred. What this guise brings to the table as opposed to his others is unclear. What is though, is that this is rave techno of a standard that others can only match in their wildest dreams. No one is better at capturing the intensity and corresponding subtlety of hardcore in a house shell. If there was ever someone for whom letting the music talk is a maxim, then this it’s him. Both versions of ‘You’ are brilliantly realised pieces of warehouse rave with a gloss that seems of this time, but strangely also of then. ‘(Work It)’ is the more stripped down, punchier one of the pair. ‘The Evil Dance’ is a disfunctional, off beat jerkathon, in contrast to ‘The Evil Trance’ which is a smooth, linear sub-aquatic Fantastic Voyage down the listeners lateral line. He makes it look easy, but it’s not.
