Gunnar Wendel – '578 (Omar S. Berlin Mix)'
I can remember hearing this track when I was in the studio with Andrew [Weatherall]. I was making Trans-Love Energies at the time. It's one of those tracks you hear every now and then as a producer that makes you kind of... driven. It's an inspiring song. I wouldn't want to try and imitate it, but it's nice to hear that people are pushing music in that way. I investigated Omar S. a bit more and got really into his label. I found out about Luke Hess's involvement and the way they worked together. Luke Hess did a remix of my last single with DJ Richard. I interviewed Luke for the Ransom Note. I quizzed him about working with Omar S., finding out about his world. There are some amazing producers coming out of Detroit now.
