Review: This latest compilation drop from the Early Reflex crew sees the collective dive into one of the most exciting arrays of electronic music's farthest clutches, exploring nine original heaters. From the steadily glitching synthetic bubbles of Naco's 'Puzlz' and the metallic chiming melodies of 'Drive Me' from Coe, to the high tempo drum rattles of Ani Klang's 'Power Of 100' and the heavily syncopated rhythmic twitches of 'Sulky Slug' from Ophelie, we see a seriously exciting depth of range throughout the project. Alongside heaters from Scalymoth, Alec Pace & Sonia Calico, our highlights would include Kinkaid's jittering epic in 'Caphalopod' and the mind-melting abstraction of Laenz' 'Fugue'. Awesome stuff
Review: Futureboogie's recent move towards embracing the more cosmic, mind-altering and psychedelic side of the house and disco spectrum has resulted in a string of must-check EPs. Their latest missive, which comes courtesy of former Disco Halal contributor Kincaid, is another. For us, the undisputed highlight is "Voices From The Year 3000", a hallucinatory chunk of slow house hedonism propelled forwards by angular acid lines, acid-trip electronics and feverish analogue synthesizer motofs. The track that follows, "Entrance", is if anything even more trippy, with dark aural textures, sparse percussion hits and intergalactic acid motifs sashaying around a deep electro groove. Lead cut "Provincial Disturbance" is rather good, too - think snappy electro meets chugging dark disco - while Steve Urulu's remix of the same track is an insanely bass-heavy, bleep-inspired techno treat.
