Having done remixes for everyone from Who Made Who to Métrika, and having released on labels from PIAS to Trapez, there’s no way to know exactly what you’re getting into with Dirt Crew’s Peter Gijselaers & Felix Eder. My Best Friend’s latest release by this duo, Silver, is no exception. The record starts out with the titular track, which is fundamentally Chicago House and aesthetically, as far as the sound palette is concerned, a German techno piece. As it deep houses along amidst synth stabs, the vocal sample says it best, “it’s alright.” “Lost” is the second track, and this effort could easily be from two completely different collaborators. Much darker than Putsch 79, but in a similar vein, the song starts out as straight-forward electro developing alongside some clean German rave sounds. But that development doesn’t bother to go anywhere: instead, it seems content to meander through the club until drinks are no longer served.
