Eats Everything At Juno Download

Review: Hatched is a taster for a forthcoming compilation on Claude Von Stroke's label and shows why Dirtybird has thrived where other labels have failed. The label boss' collaboration with Eats Everything, "Ignorance is Bliss" sets the tone, as a jerky house groove features heavy claps, insistent bleeps and a catchy vocal intoning 'we're sailing across the river'. A1 Bassline and Sascha Robotti's contributions are more stripped back, with heavy drums and nagging rhythms - and in A1 Bassline's case, a filtered siren riff - prevailing. But the more spaced out tracks impress most and the swirling chords and hissing percussion of SFX's "Kingdom" makes for the release's highlight.

Review: Claude Von Stroke's label scores this week's prize for the most infectious release. The title track includes a smart cultural joke by sampling one of the tracks from Moby's Play - a work that itself was based on samples and then licensed to a seemingly unending list of TV ads - and then detuning the hooks and setting them to a rubbery garridge bassline. It's one of the most inventive house tracks of the year. It doesn't end there and Eats Everything continue their experiments on "Whatever, Whatever", where sexy break beats and a lurching bass arrangement are smartly combined with a dislocated, ice maiden vocal.
