Title: Someone
Artist: Holger Zilske
Label: Hypercolour
Cat Number: HYPE094
Genre: Disco/House
1: Someone
2: Transformation
A cursory glance at Discogs tells me that this is Holger Zilske’s first release under his own name since 2011. He’s hardly been a recluse, releasing as half of Smash TV in the interim; well, until 5 years ago. In any case his career does seem to have undergone something of a hiatus so, if this is a comeback of sorts, it’s a good one. ‘Someone’ is a wonderfully off-kilter funk-fuelled, vocoder-led, bottom heavy funky bomb. ‘Transformation’ is more straightforward and linear, making use of a throbbing bass line in order to intone deadpan and eponymously. This approach to spoken word is also a characteristic of the title track, but with less gravitas and a more bugged out sensibility. All in all, a potent double header to soundtrack the disco through the looking glass.
