Some time early in 2010, Daniel Wang was passing through Vienna and decided to visit his old friend Wolfram a.k.a. Diskokaine, whose apartment in a classic building right next to the Naschmarkt is always filled with kooky new sounds booming out of speakers which Wolfi’s dad built himself. “Wow! Who’s singing over that dirty electro loop? That sounds like… But how could it be?”
 
“It is,” said Wolfram, who had found Paul Parker on Internet recently and sent him a few instrumental sketches. The tracks had come back as a quick download with a powerful and beautifully produced vocal, complete with finished lyrics, bridge, and even effects built in.
 
Daniel was smitten right away. “Wolfi, would you mind if I took a copy home to Berlin and tried something out with my friend Massi? I hear potential in this…”Of course, Daniel’s home studio has been a mess, while Massi’s music room right around the corner, a.k.a. “Karl Marx Boulevard Studio”, is equipped with a collection of vintage synths and drum machines which would surely make Patrick Cowley drool (if he were still with us today). “So let’s make an amazing remix!” we thought.
 
Sure we love the music, but actually, it’s because we are flaming homosexuals, and ever since we saw Paul on Youtube wearing that sleeveless T-shirt singing “Right On Target” over a backing track, we became enamored of his passionate voice, his sexy moves, and last but not least, the classic “clone” moustache above his sensuous lips.
 
We found a name for this special attraction: “That Germanico Feeling”. (..although Paul is not really German! But that’s how we feel about Men and Music, so that’s the name of our remix team. If you’ve ever visited our city, you’ll understand.)
 
The surprise is, Paul didn’t disappear in the 80’s like so many gay men of that generation. He became an estate agent in posh Napa County in Northern California, and he is still making dance music, albeit the sort of “trancey” American circuit-style sound which you wouldn’t hear too often at Horse Meat Disco, or even at Berghain or
Homopathik here in Berlin.
 
We don’t care. He still sounds great. Past, present, and future are all just a state of mind. We just want to get down and have fun. So here it is… Our love letter to Paul, Patrick, and to you, the dancers. You queens, you faggots, you clones, who enjoy dancing on a fat funky masculine disco groove. And for the more “abstract” DJs who don’t play vocals, we are sure that the “Acid Dub” will precipitate wet electronic dreams and make everyone run up to the booth asking: “WHAT was that track you just played?”
 
It’s Paul Parker! Remixed especially for you by Daniel Wang and Massimiliano Pagliara.
Come with us and get into That Germanico Feeling !!
