Vin Sol At Juno Download

Review: A pair of brilliantly varied tunes from Cali producers Skinandbones & Vin Sol, out this week on Soo Wavey, sees the pair channel Adonis gloriously on the Chicago acid flashback that is "Nocturnal Emissions", which sees 303's nestled up against some heavily reverbed vocals. On a much more upfront vibe, "Good Good" finds the pair on a lean and energetic flex, akin to Thomas Bangalter jamming on a garage groove. Well worth checking out.

Review: A pair who impressed hugely on their Grizzly-released reworking of Brenmar's "Let Me Know", Californian duo Skinandbone5 & Vin Sol drop two equally impressive originals in the first of their 'Rhythm Tracks" releases. As the title suggests, these are two drum-only track, but they absolutely ooze class, with the right DJ able to drop the "Spastik" like rolls of "Heavy Accent" or the heavily-flanged hats of "All 808 Everything" into sets in style.

Review: Intent on delivering retro-futuristic club music, Classicworks have teamed up US producers Nick Hook, Vin Sol and Matrixxxman to deliver 3 pure underground dancefloor bangers. Looking to the past for inspiration, but also ensuring contemporary intensity, these tracks are not for the faint hearted! 'I Can Feel It' is old-skool techno with fast footwork-esque drums, '666 Wayz' is pure minimal ghetto house and 'High Volume' ends proceedings with a relentless kick and a plethora of retro vocal samples. You might want a little lie down after dancing to all three in a row.

Review: Bay area analogue fetishist Vin Sol pops up on Unknown To The Unknown with a stargazing chunk of retro-futurist party acid. "Edges of a Vortex" packs the ghetto-inspired drum funk of Dance Mania and the low-end bounce of Virgo Four into a bass music-inspired slab of stab-laden euphoria (think snaking synth sax, stomping rhythms and rumbling Chi-town bass). "Voice Chip Activ8", meanwhile, sounds like the bastard offspring of Luke Vibert, Jeff Mills and DJ Rashad. Matrixxman remixes, turning the relentless original into a slack-jawed acid groover.
