Three years down the line since the release of their last album, "Confusion", tthey´re back for more. Whereas "Confusion" featured divine artists of distinction laying their hands on Fauna Flash tracks, it's all upside down this time: Fauna Flash don´t let remixe, they opt for DIY and remix divine artists of distinction!
"Worx -The Remixes" offers a bunch of delicate Fauna Flash remixes of the past few years, chosen out of their total of over 30 remixes, compiled and remixed by the boys themselves. With previously unreleased tracks as well as two brandnew remixes, Rodney Hunter "Take A Ride” and Megablast "Jubita”! With their debut "Aquarius" they achieved and established a reputation as essential part of the royal European drum´n bass household during the last half of the 90s, German kings of D´nB! "Probably the best drum&bass album from Germany so far" sighed Kruder & Dorfmeister and British NME (NewMusicalExress) rhapsodized "Fauna Flash have solved one of the great puzzles of the late-20th Century: How to take the excitement and energy of drum & bass on record and translate it to a 'live' setting. And as a result, they're going to be lauded and adored wherever they go. Fact!" On the follow-up of 2001, "Fusion", Prommer and Appel extended their musical focus on downtempo / dance soul in all its colours and variations.
Through combining elements of house, dub, jazz, latin, brazil, hiphop and soul, they created a new musical tight as tight can be unit, an identity stamped by urban club music.
Though there weren´t any FF releases since 2002, the two Munich-based producers Christian Prommer and Roland Appel have never been off-screen but in fact bizzy as ever with a zillion remixes and side projects: in 2003 they released the highlypraised "Baby3" 12" of Voom:Voom, their project along with G-Stone Peter Kruder as well as the eagerly-awaited Trüby Trio debut "Elevator Music" and in November 2004 the "Retreated" Trüby Trio remixes double cd.
Talking about the art of refining: Their remixes are pretty much sought after, demands en masse and both of them are kinky/dinky clubfiller DJs, regularly booked for the most notorious clubs around the world. They also enchant festival crowds, be it Swiss Montreux Jazz Festival or the Roskilde in Denmark.
