Raumschmiere, and Apparat. Hakan runs how own label container recordings from his hometown of Stockholm where he also has a show on the national Swedish radio. Hakan;s musical output so far has stretched from minimal obscurities to straight up electro-pop but
Yellow Fever is Hakans first single in a unique new style he calls "death-step", an angry hard edged sound that still retains a solid club groove, on this single the cut up voices of dual person deathmatch videogames and very angry asian people push the skeleton-pulverizing beats and intestine-twisting basslines. Genuine Guy brings a fidgety hard wobblehouse remix to the table, Luke's Anger brings one of his classic expertly produced wonky techno bumpers, and the ep is topped off with a good ol' heavybass wobble megamix by the label maestro Kid606.
