Review: As always, the Hotflush Recordings crew have left us a truly tasty collection of snacks to chow down in here as they welcome the innovative percussive mastery of Braille inside for five tracks of pure original heat. Firstly, 'Anxiety' delivers a mind-numbing skip through luscious fields of digitized percussion and floaty synth textures, with the more club-driven sub punches of 'Cavernous Testing Zone' and uber-technical rhythmic designs of 'Hot As Hell' then following on further. We then jump into 'Red Rose', another crunchy side through glittering backdrops and sultry synthetic ideas, with the moogish melodies and constantly shifting soundscapes of 'Big Sith Energy' then giving us a thought-provoking closer. Lovely work!
Review: Hotflush unveils a diverse, dance floor-focused compilation full of original productions and high-quality remixes. Kiimi's "Breaking My Mind" and the Baltra take on label owner Scuba's "Never Forget" are vocal, dusky house tracks. Meanwhile, Truncate's take on the Hotflush owner's "Speed This MF Up" and the string-soaked "Hyperdrive" by Locked Groove both offer fine perspectives on deep techno. On "Mescalito", Nightwave drops a rolling tribal track, while underlining the diversity on offer on this compilation, Alden Tyrell's remix of TML's "Cell ID" from the 2019 Tensor release also features. It's a gnarly electro workout that sounds like it crawled from a sewer in the Hague.
