From the press release:
It always goes like this: ''I heard that band "X" will soon release song "Y" on your label. That's an amazing track! Can you please send it to us? We'd love to play it in our club!'' We wonder if they were trained by the STASI or if they just bug our phones and read our e-mails (and do that to the other labels as well)? Anyway, KING KONG KICKS is always ahead of the game when it comes to being up-to-date and focus on new, not yet well-known bands. So of course we couldn't say ''no'' when we were asked if we wanted to produce a CD with the 25 best ''KING KONG'' songs.
Here is the result!
YEAH!
KING KONG KICKS - Compilation Volume 1
(TR152/CD 928742/4047179287425)
Headliners and big names have never been one of KING KONG KICKS' trademarks. For years it's been blazing through the German club scene without blatantly fake glamour, and now in its 9th year, it still manages to stay ahead of the pack. The first compilation, put together by Christian Vorbau and Frank Eichstädt, contains all the KING KONG hits that drag us onto the dancefloor week after week and don't release their hold on us until the eyes are closed, hands are in the air and the refrain comes out of our mouths. How nice to know that now you can take these unforgettable clubnights home without having to depend on what are supposed to be big names.
Whoever thinks that 25 penalty KICKS aren't possible will be taught a lesson. While the A&Rs are like deer blinded by headlights, KING KONG takes advantage of the shadow, does its homework and has the courage to be gutsy.
Release Date: April 24th
