Review: V Recordings' string of wicked, more low-key singles continues with this venture from Carlito & Addiction, two acts who have been in the V orbit for a number of years. You can hear that experience in the crisp yet rough productions on display here, the old-school influences are apparent but that doesn't prevent it from being cutting edge. 'Spinner' has a lovely long introduction with an almost LTJ Bukem vibe to it, a sense of ambience that's maintained on the drop except with an added injecting of low-frequency force. 'Rain On Me' is just as subtle but even more shakey down low, with a sick collection of bass touches, stabs and wobbles. Lovely stuff.
Review: Serious business right here from Liquid: Addiction played a huge role in liquid's earliest chapters with releases on Fabio's genre-coining Creative Source imprint alongside Carlito with records the likes of Technimatic and Lenzman have cited as key inspirations. Here he returns to the game with the consistently on-it Villem who has done no wrong on Headz, Spearhead, Dispatch and Utopia. It's a match made in heaven; classy but weighted, timeless yet rooted in the foundations... "Make Me Feel Fine" is a Planet V era style jazzy bassline bumper while "Someone Somebody" is a roomier soul shake-down. Naturally both kill it. Tip.
