''Hey and Hansen have always been a priceless Berlin oddity. The project has its tentacles clawed into some of the cities best known underground establishments with long-term connections and afiliations alongside numerous labels, the Hard Wax axis, Iceland's ecclectic Mum collective and yet their music has resolutely singled itself out from the crowd. For the last 10 years Hey & Hansen have delicately developed their love of alpine folk, accordions and dub traditions into a hybrid of gypsy accoustics and effervescent electronic tinkerings. The results have never been anything less than captivating, with even hardened techno casualties unable to resist its originality and endless charm. This awesome release unearths new track 'Moon' - another refracting gem of multi-generic deviations that sound like the soundtrack to an as yet unwriten Emir Kusturica film - just peerless material.''
