Hamburg's Polycarp Records delivers the 'Never Ever' EP by Bonn this January, backed with remixes from Johannes Albert and The Cruiser. The Polycarp Records imprint was launched in 2016 by Simon Ferdinand and across its past ten releases has unveiled an array of material from the likes of Pleasant Systems boss Tilman, Frank Music founder Johannes Albert and Simon Ferdinand and Basch both under their own artist names and of course their collaborative project, Bonn. In 2019 Ferdinand and Basch inaugurated their Bonn guise with a debut album entitled 'Forget Forgot Forgotten', 2021 saw the release of a follow up EP entitled 'Ravenous' and here the story continues with the pair's latest collaborative works. The original mix of title-track 'Never Ever' opens the EP and lays down crunchy, off-kilter drums alongside mystical atmospherics, an unfurling acid bass lead and loopy, fluttering stab sequences. Johannes Albert's twist on 'Never Ever' follows next, the fellow German producer takes things down his signature cosmic, nu- disco path via bubbling arpeggio lines and 80's tinged resonant leads melded together with fragments from the original composition. 'Phero' then opens the flip side and sees Bonn deliver a twitchy house workout fuelled by fidgety synth bleeps, dubbed out chords and bumpy, saturated drums. Last up to round things out, The Cruiser turns in a high- octane interpretation of 'Phero', upping the tempo and reshaping the original’s raw elements into a murky, dynamically unfolding thumper.
