Review: There's always a collective whoop in Juno Towers when a new release from Tronik Youth's Nein Records arrives. The label's been on a decidedly EBM tip of late, and Cannibal Ink's "Acid U" seems purpose built for the job. The original version sees a slow 'n' sleazy (105bpm!) electro grind narrated by a chemically affected Euro-tranny in a gothy, smoke-filled basement club. Elsewhere Nein's go-to The Emperor Machine continues the Boccaccio club vibes with a spacier 10 minute Balearic groover. Furthermore Manchester's lad-about-town, Chris Massey, delivers a fine retro house mix complete with ravey synth stabs.
Review: There's something decidedly trippy, bordering on psychedelic, about the slo-mo and mid-tempo house workouts of Spanish trio Cannibal Ink. "Le Petit Prince" is a perfect example of their trademark style, and featuring raw, rough electronics and acid flashes riding a chugging, saucer-eyed, no-wave influenced house groove. It's a little more tech-tinged than some of the material on, say, World Unknown and Emotional [Especial], but it shares a similar aesthetic. There's a myriad of remixes to choose from, with Justin Robertson's Chicken Lips-go-industrial take, Moscoman's weird-wave interpretation, and Alvaro Cabana's punk-funk influenced drug-chug standing out.
