From Andrei Tarkovsky's musical collaborator Eduard Artemyev onwards, Russians with synthesizers are always worth keeping an eye on. Acos Coolkas hail from Siberia and fit loosely into the dance sub-genres Balearic and cosmic disco, however, they have as much in common with the spaced out Moog odysseys that the likes of Tangerine Dream and Vangelis used to indulge in during the 1970s. A shimmering stoner treat, in other words.

We first came across Siberean duo Acos Coolkas last year. We were looking for a downtempo mood-setting intro piece for our TIRK02 album on sister label Tirk. Free Flight well and truly fit the bill. TIRK02 came out and did well but 40000 Tirk fans can't be wrong and "Free Flight" became one of best Tirk download sellers of 2009.Nang has now taken up the mantle for the obligatory remix package of one our favorite tunes this year. Reworks come from the Acos crew themselves who notch up the dancefloor quotient a few rungs with their own Synth-Touch mix. Their mix was inspired by the bleepy tones of the old Russian synth the Polyvoks. Bearfunk stalwart Max Essa turns in a couple of fine mixes taking his trademark slo-mo disco feel to the now famous bleepy Acos riff, we are not intentionally trying to start our own balkan-based geo sub genre of disco... but once again Slovenians Sare Havlicek and Ichisan end up on the same piece of Nang vinyl. Ichisan goes for slick pads and a loose swinging feel. For Sare its all about the sounds

The world was a slightly different place in 2006, the last time Tirk put
out a label comp (TIRK01). Obama had just become a Senator; merchant
bankers still had their snouts in each others’ troughs, not the
taxpayers pockets, Deadmau5 didn’t exist, three times as many record
shops did. Minimal still sounded vaguely edgy and interesting, disco
was the preserve of thirty year old men with beards, Annie Mac was
about to discover Dubstep…
Now we’re got Radio One jocks devoting half their shows to
Aeroplane mixes, and “edits” in danger of becoming a genre itself, and
just as record sales head ever closer to what must finally be the
bottom of the sales curve, the spirit of disco finally rises again.
Yep, there’s going to be no white horses or hanging out with Truman
Capote this time round, it’s all about being slightly too old and not
caring in Dalston basements for us, being fabulous in ill advised
cardigans from Primark . And the music…there’s always the music.
Whilst the mix CD has tracks from Todd Terje, Hercules, Richard
Sen, Chaz Jankel, Prins Thomas, Architeq and more, this sampler EP has
four exclusive remixes primed and ready for action on discerning
dancefloors.
Fresh from his warmly received Valiant Truth EP on Tirk, Hot
Coins adds a sexy lilting bassline and unhurried arrangement to the
Joubert Singers classic SOTW.
Noo Yorkers Dirty Haze unleash a classy instrumental funk weapon,
whilst from the other side of the States, 40 Thieves add some jack and
bump to Morten Sorensen's underground anthem 'Start Something. We bring
things to a close with a cool, simple and infectious electronic houser
from new kids on the (former) eastern bloc, Russian chaps Acos Coolkas.
