Review: Seminal New York label Throne Of Blood celebrates its 16th anniversary with this fine split release. Veteran French producer Chloe Thevenin of Kill the DJ and Lumi?re Noire fame gets the ball rolling with the dubbed-out disco of "The Foss", while on "Tropical", Liona opts for a more left of centre approach: led by stepping, shuffling drums and muffled vocals, it's a hypnotic, alluring affair. In contrast, Justin Cudmore's "Sunday Lemonade" is a bugged-out acid track, and exactly the kind of material you'd expect the storied DJ to play out. Changing gear once again, label owner Max Pask hooks up with Joakim to deliver the dreamy breakbeats of "Blue Sun".
