This special club promo features two bonus tracks from their forthcoming single release ‘Cloud Nine’ (co-written with Onetwo and Depeche Mode’s Martin Gore), which is released on February 19th. Original versions of both these tracks are included on the debut album ‘Instead’, released on February 26th.
First up is ‘Kein Anschluss’ (meaning ‘no connection’), which has been remixed by SITD and Germany’s Blank & Jones. Deep proggy electro house is the name of the game here, with the SITD remix throbbing particularly hard. Another album highlight ‘Home’ is remixed by MHC (Goldfrapp, Fischerspooner etc), whose recent production with Moby recently topped charts across Europe.

Onetwo fuse, blast and combine the majestic Teutonic intentions of Propaganda with the charged, atmospheric power of OMD to produce something uniquely sleek, entertaining and adventurous. Their live show is a memorable combination of a select few of the best Propaganda, Act and OMD songs and most importantly a premiere of the compelling new Onetwo songs from their forthcoming 2007 debut album ‘Instead’ that bring everything sensationally up to date. Onetwo will be touring the UK and Germany in March 2007, dates tbc.
