Da Hool – Eichelrück (Corvin Dalek Wet & Hard Rewix)

Tribal Roots and Hypnotic Build-Up

When Mark Reeder and I began reworking Eichelrück in the spring of 2000, we had one concept in mind: to create a track that would rise like a bolero – starting from a whisper and growing into an unstoppable force. We wanted the remix to breathe organically, with a tribal intro that felt alive, pulsing with raw energy straight from the dancefloor. The production process became an exercise in precision and patience. Layer by layer, I added percussive elements, each one designed to heighten the tension and pull listeners deeper into the groove. By the time the track hit its peak, the hypnotic rhythm and driving basslines felt inevitable – like the track had been building toward that explosive release all along. This remix wasn’t just an homage to Da Hool’s original; it was a bold statement about where Wet&Hard was heading. Experimentation and evolution were the core, pushing the boundaries of what tribal sound could become. The result was something ritualistic, deeply hypnotic, and unapologetically Wet&Hard.

A Pivotal Time in Wet & Hard

This remix came during a critical phase for me. Tracks like The Atheist and Pornoground were emerging at the same time, all part of this new Wet&Hard identity I was shaping. Eichelrück fit perfectly into this narrative – a bridge between tribal grooves and progressive textures. The deeper I went into the remix, the more I realized how connected this track was to the others I was working on. Together, they became the foundation of Wet&Hard’s early days.

A Mutual Respect

Even though I never met Da Hool face-to-face, I remember a brief chat we had, thanking each other for the support. It was a small moment, but it meant a lot. I respected his music, and to have him play my tracks while I remixed his felt like a shared celebration of the underground.
