If they're boring, tell me and I'll stop...! Amp Fiddler ? Love & War - Genuine 12" Jesus. This is better than Superficial, it's like half an LP rather than an EP! The first track A1 reminds of Moodymann's 'don't be misled', that beautiful raw lo-fi downbeat house sound laced with mad atmospheric samples. Class. The 'version' of Love & War (A2) goes for a more upbeat feel, a slicker lounge sound. Freakin' (B1) sounds like Prince stuck in a phone box with a ruck of acid and a Casio keyboard. It's feckin ace, A really weird downbeat off kilter number. B2 is my least favourite, 'This is How' (although still extremely pleasing) which just leaves Kenny Dixon to turn in a mix of 'eye 2 eye'. One of his driving raw disco cuts that will murder the dancefloors, this is an outstanding MM track that deserves far more vinyl than its been given. IT'S TOO SHORT!! In fact, I have to wonder why all 5 brilliant tracks have been squashed onto one 12. I'd have been happy with my moneys worth with just A1, B1 and B3. I reckon there's something for everyone here. Larry Heard ? Space Jungle/Déjà vu Remix ? Trackmode 12" The A side of this record is a right little abstract gem from the absolute hero of house. It's one of those records you could play as the sun rises and everyone would be just off in their own little world. You get completely lost in it almost straight away, the bass line is beautifully hypnotizing. It's like a painting, completely abstract, but making absolute sense almost immediately. The B side (déjà vu) is a pretty straight up recent Larry Heard production. Very good of course, with a nice vocal and crisp garage beats, just after the stunning a-side, too 'normal' for me! Francois De Roubaix ? La Mer Est Grand (Carl Craig Mix) ? Sido 10" OK. This is a paperclip people style mix from Carl, based around a horn loop that is very familiar, but also unbelievably 'catchy'. I have a feeling it was used in an ad on the TV lately. It's a breakbeat track, more in the style of the Incognito mix but retains the swinging synths similar to Oscillator. Good, not his best mix, but very good. Locally, I can see this record getting some play at the Electric Chair, and everyone loving it?. Rusty Waters Rotating Assembly ? Illumination ? Sound Signature 12" Matt already covered this new Theo project. It's a band, I like this record, although I feel the best is yet to come ? this is a project that has loads of potential. If I was an A&R man, I'd be giving Theo a little tinkle round-about now. (If I had money that wasn't mine to spend on expensive recording sessions?!) Pitch Black City featuring Roberta Sweed ? Runaway ? Mahogani 12" Upbeat yet laidback, this first new track from KDJ's Pitch Black City outfit is a sweet jazz house affair. A relentless unchanging beat is backed with live jazzy keys to beautiful effect. Roberta Sweed's tantalising vocal drifts in and out of the mix intertwined with those trademark background noise samples. It's pretty straight up, I get the feeling Mahogani music is going to be the more straight 'bigger' tracks while the more leftfield electronic stuff comes under the Moodymann moniker. Very good, but one sided. This is £3 more than that Amp Fiddler thing will be??.. Stinkworx ? Drexion Caves ? Keynote 12" Otto's Keynote Records get my 'best techno record of the year so far' award I think. Every time I listen to this record, I hear a new depth in it that I didn't hear before. Kicking off with the frantic 'Drexion Caves' I'm starting to head straight for 'No Tocar', bouncing on some really swinging electronic jazz beats with a hook that reminds of Human League, is, I reckon, one of Stinkworx's finest moments so far. I'm equally enthusiastic about Interface, giving me that beautiful Detroit style electronic sound that people like Strand have been championing. Dong Shi Sh Luann continues that vibe in a more up-tempo vein and Kinky Kat is exactly that ? a kinky low slung electronic funk loop with great key work that will hypnotize the more discerning dancefloors out there. Brilliant. Gets better every time I hear it. Claro.Intelecto ? Peace of Mind ? AI 12" I bought this a week or so ago, and was pretty impressed on first listen. It's pretty simple, but nevertheless, premium dancefloor material with great familiar sounds. Title track Piece Of Mind is well produced hypnotic, at times melodic electro, A2 heads into darker electro territory that I'm not really that into... B1 is a wicked little dancefloor tool that reminds me of Walt J a little and Contact (B2) heads into deeper UK techno territory with a lovely old style DX deep bassline. Not as enthusiastic as I first was, but a very promising debut.. Sonic Insomniac ? Temper ? New Religion 12" OK, this is my mates record, so I'm biased. Thing is, I can't see how any list-member would fail to even slightly like Spacedub, the first track on the B side. So, what I'm saying is, give it a listen I reckon you'll like it. Oh, and it doesn't sample UR, or Jean Luc Ponty either! Temper is the main cut, an abstract dancefloor number that in a weird way reminds of windowlicker. Typical is a deep dubby hypnotic dancefloor groover that's going to sound great on a big system. Give it a listen.. Kirk Degiorgio ? Holy/Distraction ? New Religion 12" New, more club techno orientated direction for Kirk here, with Holy reminding me of classic future/past material. Frantic, driving and aimed solely at the dancefloor, I think this is going to be doing the rounds with the bigger techno jocks? Distraction on the flip is just as frantic, load of little clever edits, a hypnotising groove, and sweeping synths, again I can see this getting a loads of play. _________________________________________________________________ --------------------- End of message text -------------------- This e-mail is intended only for the person to whom it is addressed.
