Review: 2019 has been a relatively busy year for 1800HaightStreet, with Confess following a dubbed out EP on the M?rk imprint. This four-tracker is a diverse affair, with "Alone" focusing on a tough, steely rhythm that snakes and growls menacingly. In contrast, "Premonition" is a deep, resonating techno track that swirls and swaggers seductively, while the title track sees the pair deliver an atmospheric, mid-tempo workout led by soaring strings and based on intricate, glitchy beats. Keeping their listeners guessing till the end, 1800HaightStreet's parting shot, "Infestation', is a snappy dance floor track that's populated by eerie synth loops.
Review: After three successful EPs for the wider Lobster Theremin unit back in 2015 and 2016, 1800HaighStreet drops an album for the London label, a twelve-track excursion into the shadiest, most deranged forms of house and techno. This is no surprise given the label's rise to fandom and hypedom over the last 3 years, but the producer has still managed to impress thanks to a glorious collection of distorted electronics. Each tune is very much focused on the dancefloor, however, and as such, thr label heads have dedicated no more than 2 tunes per side. Jeff Mills style, innit!? Gloriously hallucinogenic loops and a torrential downpour of harmonies encircle the entirety of this release, making it akin to the sort of no nonsense techno that emanated from the infamous Tresor basement back in the 90s. Hardcore gear. No bullshit.
