Check out the Aardvarck's Cult Copy 12" on Rush Hour if you can find it... it's a little more 4/4 than he usually does and superb, among his career best efforts so far IMHO. Listen to Find The Cow on Delsin before you buy it. I like it but opinions vary, it's diverse too which I personally like. The track Steck is a haunting kind of deep broken beat affair and there are more like that on the album. It's hard to go wrong with most Delsin releases... like the Attica Blues remix of Nozum is tight. Also I really like Aardvarck Donkeyboy release on Music for Speakers. A weird vocal track called "man to come" that's a deep funky dark groover, mixes well with Theo/KDJ and deep detroit house oddly enough. Then there's collaboration track on there with Sonar Lodge that is awesome too. I like the ReSpoken thing with Nubian Mindz remix... I think that's on Rush Hour. Those Dutch labels are always sleeping around with labels and tracks though ;) I like that Aardvarck can do abstract/dowtempo and also house and broken-up kind of beats and techno flavors. Definitely an innovator and in a super-crowded field of electronic producers he surely stands out. I mean Domu is remixing him... that says a lot right there. He is pretty prolific... I haven't heard the new one album on Delsin yet though -- how does it compare? peace, Matt MacQueen
