Review: DJ Haus has put out a lot of material over the past year, but Rhythm Division is perhaps his most adventurous production yet. The title track brings together the seemingly disparate worlds of glitchy house with shuffling, stripped back rhythms to create an unusual but distinctive sound, while on "Probability Troubles", he dives deeper; the glitchy effects are gone, replaced by dreamy pads and mysterious melodies. Haus has also recruited Subb-an to remix the title track, and he doesn't disappoint. Sounding like a contemporary version of 90s tech-house, the rolling, bass-heavy groove and shuffling drums hit the spot.
Review: Delivering a fifth record for your stash of hardcore electro and house music wares in 2020 is DJ Haus, continuing to fly the flag high for Unknown To The Unknown during these modern times. Sending in three tracks here, a highlight almost without saying is the melodies and sweet tones of "Analog Chime" in combination with Haus' trademark gnarly acid progressions. "WiFi Network" adds a new spin to what a dial up modem might sound like in 2020 thrown amongst some splashes of Drexciyian electro while the title-track is a righteous piece of deep sea dwelling computer music. Dial up. Plug in. Download.
Review: It sounds like DJ Haus was listening to artists like Norken and CIM when he recorded this EP, as it draws heavily on their late 90s and early 00s work for inspiration. Like these artists' output, the key difference between this release and a lot of what passes for IDM is the fact that Data Dump is eminently danceable. Both "Bleep Bots" and "Fuzzy Logic" are cinematic groovers, while on "Catch Your Breath", the Unknown To The Unknown owner opts for a busier approach, with chopped up vocals and a loose metallic rhythm prevailing. At the more abstract end of the spectrum, there's the drum'n'bass speed "Puzzle Box" and the stop-start, abstract sounds of "Glitch Soup".
