Review: This is the second release in Les Disques De La Mort's Bref Avenir collection by Marseille's Lionel corsini aka DJ Oil, who had a terrific album on BBE a few years back. Label chiefs Leon Oakey and Ivan Smagghe describe him as their 'Southern activist using well-known tropes and samples to provide necessary confusion.' From the trippy funk-funk of "Telegraph" reminiscent of Oliver Ho's Raudive project, the darkly hypnotic late night disco of "Paresse" and the dusty slo-mo (and very lo-slung!) groove of "Fall" which will get the kids trippin' balls in no time!
Review: Lionel Corsini aka DJ Oil has previously released two albums and now brings his off-centre approach to Ivan Smagghe's label. The title track is a deep, dubby house groove embellished by hypnotic clicks. In contrast there's a stream of consciousness freeform broken beat track called "Hypnosis" that features a stoner talking about television being used as an instrument of mind control. "Space Control" sees DJ Oil resume his dance floor focus but it is based on a low-tempo groove while "Ougada Ou La Mort" delves into voodoo territory with its rambling chanting groove. Add in an acid-soaked remix of the title track from Radioactive Man and you have a truly individualistic release.
