Headman – Roh / Deah (12″)

071_label-a

Release: 06 March 2006
Cat#: Gomma 071

The first (radio)single of Headman’s second album is this amazing futuristic old school house jam. With vocals performed by Stephan from SOULWAX. In fact this is really one step ahead. The basic is a classic disco beat, but the performance and vocals make it a unique thing. It works as a pop song as well as a club anthem. Watch out for Headman supporting SOULWAX on their spring tour through Europe.

Tracklist:
A) Roh (Extended Long Version)
B) Deah
