Mike G At Juno Download

Review: Not Mike G from Odd Future, nor Mike G from the Jungle Brothers, but a rather tidy Californian grimey bass merchant whose latest release on Seattle label Car Crash Set punches very hard indeed. Rocking a mix of booty bass drums, blinkered siren stabs and UK F-style snares, "Boost" is an icy winner that gets an even more hyped mix from New Jersey club/ballroom phenomena DJ Sliink, as well as a dubby makeover from Admin.

Review: Mike G brings us "Throw Back" on Car Crash Set and in doing so unleashes a load of heavily reverbed, bass heavy beats on us with brutal force. The title track is all chopped up lyrics on frenzied loop, with pulsing beats and driving b-line adding further pressure to the proceedings. Pounding and pumping for the duration, this one's for the heads. "Disco Radio" again focuses on a distorted vocal with booming subs, hollow bongo beats and surging synths adding to the Hessle Audio meets Night Slugs style atmosphere.
