His Name EP vinyl

The Hinge Finger label overseen by Joy Orbison and TTT boss Will Bankhead returns with Cologne producer Barnt at the helm for the excellent two track His Name 12". Jobbing house and techno selectors will be eminently familiar with the output of Daniel Ansorge as Barnt, whose music has resulted in some fine 12"s for the likes of Comeme, Mule Musiq and his own Magazine label. Still, not the most obvious of candidates for a Hinge Finger release, but much the same was said about both Madteo and Mix Mup at the time of their announcements on the label. Both "Chappell" and "Under His Own Name But Also As Sir" fit the Barnt mould perfectly, taking the functionalism of techno's rhythmic backbone and playfully toying around with it resulting in some truly memorable sonics. The B Side track in particular is up there with Ansorge's Comeme "Tunsten".
