Popsicles, shades on the nose – for an after-work drink during the summer, you pour yourself three Lillet Spritz and feel like you’re on vacation in Italy. Periodica Records, which stands for the best Neapolitan export since Bud Spencer and deep-fried pizza, rolls down the side windows for this. And lets the duo Somachrome roar along the coast. Postcard idyll. Pastel tones. The eighties breathe in washed-out silk shirts from the cassette compartment, dance boogie and turn the disco ball. »Electro Romantica« is maestro material for the hip swing at a quarter to twelve. You cruise in a convertible to the Laptop Café. Reaches into the right circuits in the power plant. And gives Daft Punk a youthful summer outfit. Out of the past, of course. Into the present. Somachrome that is. Whoever doesn’t throw this six-piece of songs on the turntables this summer has no feeling for the crowd. With »Creatures Of My World« alone, enough ecstasy pills rustle in your pocket to ensure collective open-air orgasms in Berlin-Kreuzberg. Chaka-chaka bum! Aren’t we all a »Love Operator«?
