Oberst & Buchner ft. Mimu – Doves [Schonbrunner Perlen]

by Shlomi Biton August 11, 2014

Vienna’s Schönbrunner Perlen label is an always interesting outlet that offers truly musical dance sounds.
Following on from a Various Artists EP and solo efforts from Lupo and Denis Yashin comes this, a magic
new single from Oberst & Buchner ft. Mimu.
Oberst & Buchner are Bavarian collaborators who between them hold down residencies in Vienna and
have released experimental concept albums, as well as being a firm part of the Schönbrunner Perlen
family.
Their new single ‘Doves’ is a patiently building, hugely sensitive bit of house with punchy and playful
drums, ethereal soft focus synths and a chilly iciness running up its spine. Breathy, stylish vocal inflections
add an organic element to the track and it’s the sort of emotive stand out track that will form the peak of
any DJ set with its string out and spine tingling, Caribou style synths.
Schonbrunner label boss Ken Hayakawa, who has also released on labels like International Deejay
Gigolo, then turns in the first remix. Smoothing out the kinks, Ken re-versions the track as a nice and
progressive bit of liquid house riddled with organic percussion, watery chords and sumptuous strings. Next
up it’s German Rampue, a regular on Audiolith, who goes super deep and stripped back on his haunting
house remix, allowing but a few somber synths and the original’s great vocals to strike deep at your core.
Another German producer, Alex Q, who runs Kleinstadtfeeling and Farbton, remixes into a bouncy bit of
drum led house. His textures are frayed, warm and organic and are rhythmically playful as the icy Mimu
vocals dance about up top. Finally, Patalc aka Patrick Muller, a man who has released singles on labels
such as liebe*detail, Soulfooled, Baalsaal, completes the package with his eerie, darkened version.
Featuring well swung drums, emo chords and chilly electronic textures, it’s a wintery track that makes you
feel something as well as want to dance.
All in all, this delicious single gets a wealth of great remixes and each one exactly hits the mark it’s going
for.
