Album Review: So Horny by The Havana Boys
Alright, let’s talk about So Horny by The Havana Boys. This 2006 banger from Germany is a wild ride through the worlds of Dance and Electronic music, with Electro and House vibes that’ll have your feet moving before you even realize it. Released under Voidcom, this album feels like a late-night rave distilled into four killer tracks. Props to producers Henrik Raabe and Jakob Seidensticker—and big shoutout to Inci Kurt for those sultry vocals.
Now, I gotta say, two tracks here really stuck with me: “So Horny (Lützenkirchen Mix)” and “So Horny (Original Mix).” The Lützenkirchen Mix? Absolute fire. It’s got this hypnotic beat that sneaks up on you, layering in these pulsing synths that feel equal parts edgy and smooth. You know when a track just locks you in? That’s this one. It’s perfect for losing yourself on the dancefloor—or heck, even while folding laundry if you’re trying to spice up chores.
Then there’s the Original Mix. Man, this version strips things back just enough to let the raw energy shine through. The bassline hits hard but stays playful, and Inci Kurt’s voice floats over everything like smoke in a club. It’s catchy without being over-the-top cheesy, which honestly might be why it loops in your head hours later. (Seriously, don’t blame me if you catch yourself humming it during breakfast.)
What makes this album cool is how unapologetically fun it is. No pretentiousness, no overthinking—just solid tunes designed to make people move. And yeah, sure, the title might raise an eyebrow or two, but hey, sometimes music doesn’t need to be super deep to hit the spot.
Here’s the thing though—if someone told me back in 2006 that I’d still be thinking about this record nearly twenty years later, I probably would’ve laughed. But here we are. Maybe it’s nostalgia, maybe it’s the beats, or maybe it’s just proof that good Electro-House never truly goes out of style. Either way, So Horny deserves its place in any playlist where sweat meets sound.
Oh, and random thought? If aliens ever visit Earth and ask us what human nightlife sounds like… we should totally play them this album. Just saying.
