- Top Swedish duo Minilogue set to release a double album on Cocoon and a full length record as IMPS on Mule Electronic.
Sebastian Mullaert and Marcus Henriksson, aka Minilogue, IMPS, Son Kite and lord knows what else, have two new records up their sleeves. They're set to a release both the double CD Animals as Minilogue on Sven Vath’s Cocoon label, and a full length album as IMPS on Japanese label Mule Electronic.
The Cocoon album is split into individual tracks, but is billed as a proper album designed to be listened to from beginning to end. Ranging from peaktime techno to beatless ambience over two discs, Animals includes the Minilogue hit on Crosstown Rebels ‘Hitchhiker’s Choice’ (see video below—two million YouTube hits and counting) but the bulk of the tracks are new and exclusive material. The 2x12" vinyl includes the more DJ-friendly cuts from the album.
