Andrea Oliva At Juno Download

Review: 'Click', 'glitch' and 'minimal' have become dirty words, but there is a refreshing lack of navel gazing on this release. Instead, Olivia delivers a sexy underground groove on "Piano Piano", which is characterised by sensuous piano keys and a swinging rhythm. The title track and "Jungle Dub" both see Olivia opt for rhythmic tracks, but in latter's case, the drums are loose enough to avoid sounding like a typical DJ tool track. On a different tact altogether is "Ronda", a jacking house groove in the style of classic Derrick Carter and Luke Solomon, albeit one that features a jarring electronic riff. Irrespective of labels or titles, this release shows that good music will always rise to the top.
