Private pressing, for the first 2 weeks only available @ DasMarket recordshop in Vienna.
After some speculators wanted to buy 5 copies at once, I decided to "unlimit" the release by announcing the possibility of similar, identic represses before I sold the first private copy. Still trying to keep prices low on discogs... It works, just some copies went to the distributor so there are still copies left @ normal retail price and nothing else.
This is for people who focus on the music, not the name, label, medium or hype...

Reactions and comments:
"The one I am really loving is "Glance" from the first EP. I love the straightforwardness of the beat... then it just gets funky.. soulful.. stupid crazy... House, Techno, mixed into one Hot-Ass track!!! I'm playing this today on the radio show.. Fuck it. I'm playing this everywhere!!!" Aaron Carl (W.A.R.M.T.H.)
"Really good solid club tracks. My fave is Glance" Colin Dale (London)

Nine notes make this one a must-have. The Hum kicks off with a luscious jazz-styled phrase "Followed by a never-ending hum" and you will find it impossible to get this line out of your head. The Hum is built entirely around this hook, with a combination of jackin and downtempo beats and a psychedelic guitar strum that just rolls on and on. Its an odd combination, so sparse that it really sounds like a sample rather than an original vocal, and almost like a Jackin House producer decided to remake a classic 90s Strictly Rhythm track from scratch and without a map. Terry Matthew (In January issue of 5 Magazine / Chicago)
"This is a hot track. I like the original the most but will play the second mix as well. Where can i find this on vinyl?" Anthony "Shake" Shakir (Frictional Rec. / Detroit)
Gotta Keep Faith is proud to introduce Duoswing, aka Stephan Hoellermann, who brings the heat in the shape of Metrotendencies and Stiletto.
NYC's DJ Romain provides three interpretations in the shape of Ro's Metro Slam Mix, Romain's Dub and Ro's Bonus Beats in which the percussion is beefed up but the essence of the track is firmly respected. Spiritual Blessings Deepa Funka Remix takes a deeper and slightly more eclectic path but is no less infectious. QuestionmarQ's Pinch of Salt Mix drops the tempo to deliver a more soothing interpretation which takes us to Stiletto which completes the release in deep moody fashion.
Reactions and comments:
"Really ace release! Yeah, love the original and R's main mix. His dub is great too. Spins from me..." Jimpster (Freerange)
"All mixes are Banginnnn!!!!" John Mateo (Mateo & Matos)
"Nice work! I travel back in the days when I hear it" Yass (Grei Matter)
My debut EP released in early 2009, with one of my favourite productions till today, called Loose Talk
Reactions and comments:
"Very nice EP, from the emotional pumpin Sacrifice to the down tempo raw essence of Loose Talk and bringing it back home with the mainroom floor filler Aus den Fugen, this project is a nice treat" Chez Damier (Prescription / Balance)
Remix for Monsieur Cedric's track Confused Mind under my Duoswing alias. Dj Rork favourite!
