Review: Taking inspiration from Mesopotamian iconography and symbolism Mark Hawkins outta the UK hooks up with Donnell Knox aka D-Knox from Kalamazoo (and the great Sonic Mind label). A sweet fusion of Detroit-Chicago electro with some UK intensity looms large in a deep and original lead cut "12th Planet". Throwing down something more vocal yet slamming and soulful at the same time is "I Don't Want To", while there's some tinges of dub techno and submerged, spooky tropics in "Marimba". And dat mix for da club: go "12th Planet Underground".
Review: Now here's an interesting package as Sasha's label mark a deep exploration into the realms of dubstep. Naturally, it's unlike other tracks of its ilk as the brother/sister duo take their fractured EP title track into some very strange, trippy pastures. Meanwhile on the remix front John Tejada takes the tune to a more peaktime techno environment with a refreshing and complementary reversion while Kuxxan Sunn highlights the eerie space and subverts it with a creativity that sits somewhere between Four Tet and Burial. Elsewhere on the EP you'll find more of Knox's original material - each of them shimmering with a similar ghostly soul often heard on Trentemoller records.
