Do Your Worst

A 2 track funk single (1m 28s) — released June 14th 2010 on Soulplex

'Do your worst' is a solid Soul stomper, made for dancers music lovers all over the world, tend to be played on the dancefloors. Equally vital to this album as Rachel is, there's Soul Criminals trombinist and bandleader Michael Theissing-Tegeler (MTT) with his compositions and his unique way of producing. A few years back, he teamed up with The Shack Band and delivered 'Geb's auf' ('Give it up'), a funky gem embraced by DJs, vinyl collectors and soul lovers alike, and now he finally returned to recording. Tegeler draws his inspiration from Daptone mastermind Gabriel Roth's manifesto 'shitty is pretty', a guide to analogue recording techniques aiming at the intense sound that only a reel-to-reel tape recorder is able to capture. Unpretentious yet sophisticated, Rachel, MTT and the Soul Criminals are on top of their game, young musicians who have spent half their lives on stage and have worked with German greats as diverse as Curse, Tom Gaebel, Sarah Connor, Brings, Stefanie Heinzmann, Denyo or Luis. This record is driven by honest devotion to music. Music that touches you, makes you want to dance - music that simply feels good. The Soul Criminals are based in Cologne's Parkhaus-Studio, which itself is widely renowned for distinct, unconventional productions. Soulplex Recordings and online radio station soulsender.de, both highly respected players not only in Cologne's music scene, have teamed up with Rachel and the Soul Criminals in order to spread the word: It's 'Plain & Simple!'
