The 'Feel Like Fucking' EP by Ackermann on Rekids’ Rekids Special Projects starts with the title cut, which features hurried, pent-up techno kicks and a warm bassline. Hi-hats dance up top with sleazy vocals skating across the groove next to smeared synth details. It's a profoundly seductive track, while 'Love Is Good' has a more celebratory feel in its old-school chord vamps and punchy house drums.
The fantastic 'Push' on Safe Space label head Ackermann’s ‘Feel Like Fucking’ EP then hurries along at a hundred miles an hour with rolling kicks and driving bass. It's topped with a well-filtered synth line that shifts about the mix to bring an extra dynamic sense of energy. 'Wiggle Your Neck' gets more playful with percussive but stripped-back beats, closing out this offering with freaky vocal details and plenty of infectious bounce.
Ackermann has been a well-established DJ for many years but decided to focus on production in 2020. Since then, he has been a staple in the influential record bags of artists like Ben Klock, Len Faki, and Charlotte De Witte, while his club-ready sounds have appeared on UNCAGE, Syncrophone, and his own Safe Space label.
