Monday, January 18th, 2010Slim Shady?
No, not Slim Shady, and not dubstep either. More like a banging, hard edged slice of industrial acid techno. And when I say banging I mean BANGING. Like a noisy neighbour on amphetamines, this m*thaf*ckka just will not quit. Programmed to pound the living shit out of your inner ear, My Name Is can [...]
Review: One Note Samba by Slam on Paragraph
Saturday, August 1st, 2009Yeah, a review on a track by Slam? Do they still need their music reviewed? That was the thought coming in my mind the moment I used one of my tokens. But hey.. the harm is done, so here it goes.
Slam takes a kinda minimal approach on a samba rhythm but manages to keep it [...]
Review of In The Box With The Pencils by Plastic Sound on Gastspiel
Wednesday, May 27th, 2009An Itch You Can’t Scratch
Keeping on a full on tip, check this disjointed banger. Like an allergic reaction this dirty electro groove will get under your skin and stay there. Hot summer night music, you can sweat one out to this, no messing. There is a stripped down feel to the proceedings, a jaded minimalism [...]
Review: Route by Uncou on Subton Minsk
Sunday, May 24th, 2009Here’s a soul techno track with a catchy, repetitive melody with a slow build up. It especially caught my attention as the track’s arrangement gets more emotional as it evolves from a rather monotonous tune into an emotional and kinda mysterious, spacey sound scape.
This atmosphere only gets stronger by the vocal sample brought in after [...]
Review: The 40th night by Monokeen on 2eqRecords
Saturday, March 28th, 20092eq Records which is a rather new label from Germany comes up with this vibrating, nasty and brain burning threatening dancefloor anthem. The track is produced by label owner DJ Rocka who forms Monokeen together with Gemio Christiano.
This release is part of the first album by Monokeen. After listening to the album, I must say [...]
Review of N*gga Spirit by Ghostphreak on Next Life Recordings
Tuesday, March 24th, 2009The Sheriff Is Near
It’s been a time coming, but this has got to be right. A tight, kicking, dirty f*cking bitch. A little bit Moby, a little bit dark, all fired up and totally wired. Big samples from the Mel Brooks classic Blazing Saddles fitted up with a soulful gospel vocal line to a top [...]
Review of Request minuts by Markloop on Markloop
Monday, March 9th, 2009Dancing With What Brung You
I came up with punk rock sensibilities, and I’ll always favour a raw edge and music that makes the listener feel something over virtuosity and clean lines. If you throw a touch of Steve Reich, crossed with an abrasive industrial gamelan vibe, then you are approaching the area Request minuts inhabits. [...]
Review: Beal by Puffas on BWG Records
Friday, January 30th, 2009I doubted this one for a long time, listened several times to it before actually buying it. I don’t know what made me take the decision but some how it kept hanging in my mind.
A tune for the tech-minimalist ones among us and for the darker dance floors. It’s as they made it on purpose [...]
Review of Cosmopolis by Cosmopolis on Rush Hour
Thursday, December 4th, 2008Turning Japanese
Electro time lapse bubbler. The backdraft that accompanies a mega ride through the arteries of modern urban living. There is a wonderful completeness to this track, a mellow steady flow, heightened by the tingling synth melody line, underpinned by the fat talking bassline, rounded off with the well timed cutting from one sound to [...]
Review of Vianna [radio edit] by The Postman on Range
Wednesday, November 5th, 2008Dreamtripper
Epic keys, future pads and a bang off melody sort the men from the boys here. A bob your head bass line coming through like lasers in dry ice, while an all business drum pattern keeps everything on track. The Postman delivers on this one, an atmospheric stepper with a slightly dirty euro edge, not [...]
