Extrawelt: Wayan Raabe, Arne Schaffhausen

As promised last time I'll present you something delicious which is not from the UK. So let's have a look at a particular remix by Extrawelt. Extrawelt consists of the producers Arne Schaffhausen and Wayan Raabe from Hamburg. They are also known as Spiralkinda, Midimiliz amongst others and the style of their music differes with their aliases.
While looking for some new music on the net, I came across a pod cast which contained a whole set by Extrawelt. The only words that can describe it, were darkness and minimalism, but on the other side also fascination and forward-driving. The opener on this pod cast was exactly what I described. It's a remix of the swedish minimal-house and minimal-techno project by Marcus Henriksson und Sebastian Mullaert, named Minilogue. While the original version was already very good, Extawelt added this certain atmosphere, which back then made this one of the most atmospheric songs that I've been listening to in the minimal genre, but probably you should decide what sounds "nicer" in your opinion.

 MINILOGUE - THE LEOPARD (EXTRAWELT REMIX)

 I have to admit, that I couldn't listen to minimal music 24/7, but this song is one of those that realy distinguishs from the mass.

 From their 2008 Album "Schöne Neue Extrawelt" I can recommend also Wolkenbruch and Dark Side Of My Room but actualy the whole album is highly recommendable. 

Beside of Extrawelt, there some few more artist in this genre, that counts to my favourites, so stay tuned for updates.
