Review:
Few producers are placed so strategically at the interface between house and techno as Ibadan owner Jerome Sydenham - something that is obvious on "Spray". The title track is a driving club jam, but the bassline has an intangible melancholic feeling, which its evocative filter sweeps augment. "Daphne" is tougher, with tight claps and a rougher bassline providing a superbly weighted unison, while the Brooklyn dub take veers towards the techno end of Sydenham's canon. On that version, the bass is more droning and menacing and evil bleeps lap up against it, while razor sharp, snapping percussion that wouldn't sound out of place on Klockworks provide the killer blow.
