Critical Point feat. Vikter Duplaix – Messages (Main Mix)
A songwriter, producer, singer, and DJ, Vikter Duplaix is originally from Philadelphia and remains highly connected to the Philly soul movement. In the 90s Duplaix worked primarily as a producer working on records for Erykah Badu, Musiq, and Jaguar Wright.
A friendship with Philly DJ King Britt led to an immersion in modern dance music. He contributed vocals to Britt’s Scuba project (Swell) and soon was producing his own material; underground singles like “Messages,” “Manhood,” and “Sensuality” went over well with house DJs, including Masters at Work, who gave “Sensuality” a big push. -

Funkstörung – Disconnected (featuring Enik)
Funkstörung (pronounced “foonk-shteuroong”): German for aural interference, also a play on words
“funk” = radio “störung” = distortion. Distorted funk indeed.
Rosenheim, Germany’s production duo Michael Fakesch and Chris De Luca have an unforgettably unique and recognizable sound. First found on a compilation of their remixes entitled Additional Productions (1999), then on their Appetite for Disctruction (April 2000) full-length debut, Funkstörung’s unrivaled vocal-splicing, groove-shredding, taste-proliferating style is equally strong on Vice Versa – their second compilation of remixes to date.
