Review: Belfast-born producer Rory Hamilton, known as Hammer, showcases his adeptness in the underground sound with his latest offering, Red Alert. With a pedigree co-helming Feel My Bicep and releases on Optimo and Shall Not Fade, Hammer's disco sound travels globally. "Red Alert" goes large with its superbly chugging rhythm, featuring a sleazy low end and cosmic arpeggios, grounded by a taught bassline. Its subtly euphoric atmosphere, Italo chord progressions, and retro sound designs inject some vibrant colour into the mix. Shackling up for the single is ABSOLUTE., a luminary of the London dance scene also, who delivers a raw and percussive remix that harkens back to early Chicago house, adorned with rave-ready stabs and energetic drums.

Review: Glasgow-based Irishman Rory Hamilton aka Hammer follows up his previous Feel My Bicep outings with three machine-driven new tracks on the Parabola EP - which extract a rich sense of emotion from an evolving analogue setup. There's the slinky and hypnotic title track, awash in shimmering melodies, emotive pads and tight rhythms for an overall sublime experience, while for something more upbeat and funky he serves up the razor sharp, bass-driven groove of "Panoptic" until "Entropy" closes out this terrific EP in true style. An emotive 'hi-tech soul' journey in the tradition of the original Detroit sound - indeed we were really feeling this one!

Review: We were somewhat surprised to learn that this is Rory "Hammer" Hamilton's first appearance on chums and sometime studio partners Bicep's consistently on-point label. He's not been shirking mind, having released fine EPs on Optimo Music and Loft Records, amongst others. Happily, C-Space is a fine homecoming, with "C Space" track - a thrillingly intergalactic chunk of saucer-eyed techno that sits somewhere between classic Motor City fare, Orbital and vintage Circulation and early '90s - ranking among Hamilton's best work to date. The deep space vibes then continue via the rubbery electro-meets-intelligent techno flex of "Atlantic 252", while closer "Inside Soul" is a deeper and even more spacey chunk of emotive machine funk.
