Review: Spanish label Play Pal Music continues to deliver rock-solid, compilation style outings via the excellent 'Pals' series, which here reaches its eighth instalment via an eight-track blend of "robotic, exotic, hypnotic and sinister grooves". Rising star Thomass Jackson kicks things off via the guttural, eccentric house throb of 'Sexual Camel', before AckerMan delivers the acid-smothered peak-time dark disco exotica of 'Natura', and Martin Martin & Cali Burton join forces on Arabic-influenced new wave workout 'Weyno'. Elsewhere, we get more pulsating, arpeggio-driven dancefloor moodiness courtesy of Mmylo ('The Curve'), Hardway Brothers style psychedelic chug (Gunce Aci), Balearic niceness (Manner of Speaking), EBM-inspired melancholic muscularity (Sid Le Rock) and lo-fi, synth-laden melodiousness (Beartrax).
Review: If big, dramatic cosmic/Italo vibes are what gets your floor moving, you'll find such in abundance on this EP from Granada-based Spanish label Latido Records. Deadly Weapons (Eliezer and AckerMan) serve up two originals: 'Roland Garros' is a dark, synth-tastic throbber topped with a spoken, Euro-style female vocal, while 'Makom Lerfua' operates in similar musical territory but with a more epic, drifty kinda feel. Theus Mago's rerub of the former then tones down the synths a little to give the track a more intimate vibe, while Javi Redondo treats the latter to a hefty dose of acid.
