About a month or so ago we previewed some new tracks from Wolfgang Gartner, which dropped today on his EP, Casual Encounters of the 3rd Kind. Being a long-time fan of WG, I was extremely excited to buy the tracks today and review them.

The first track on the EP, Girl on Boy, starts off immediately with a phat drum that just yells “Hello fuckers, Wolfgang is in the house”! Hearing this strong intro really reminded me of WG’s older days like Fire Power and was extremely pleased to hear he was keeping it real. The extended intro tapers off at the 2:00 mark, where we hear sirens, massive chords, and all kinds of electronic goodies in the background. I found the ensuing buildup to be extremely titillating, in a sense that when it dropped I wanted to kick my iMac across the room and jump through the wall. Needless to say, as my computer is still here and functioning, I resisted the urge and decided to hold out until the next Gartner show (sorry in advance if you’re next to me!).

Girl on Girl starts off with another unmistakable Wolfgang beat but is much quicker to get going. The intro is extremely catchy and is reminiscent of old school dance which is perfect to get the blood flowing. In my opinion GoG takes a backseat to GoB but that doesn’t mean it’s any less fun to listen to. The old school vibes and sirens are great throwbacks.

I can’t stress enough – if you approve of this release, then head over to Beatport and support Wolfgang.
