Review: French label Citizens Of Vice, self-described purveyors of "Balearic, disco and house for those of a sleazy inclination", bring us a V/A EP whose six tracks defy easy categorisation. For house lovers, though, the best places to start would be Crooked Man's atmospheric 'Illyrian Song' and Lanowa's disco-infused 'Every Move I Make', while elsewhere, 'Sons Of Dub' is one for wonked-out 5am floors, Offshore & Coen explore nu-disco's leftfield fringes, 'Love Of My Life' from Staccatoman brings the 80s/Italo vibes while Mass Density Human's 'Henry's Theme' starts out in drifty Balearic territory then slowly builds into a thunderous percussion workout.
Review: Circumventing a sound that sits somewhere between techno, disco and epic, the Nightnoise label founded out of Amsterdam and Geneva have their finger on the pulse when it comes to delivering new shades of experimental electronic music. Mass Density Human is a new project on the scene that debuted earlier this year with the Dancing In Space EP which now makes way for the equally massive Out & Back. Sporting a sound that's vast and wide, MDH goes the distance in merging trance and techno with contemporary approaches to subsonic sound design and synthesis. A record that should appeal to Stranger Things fans as much it does labels like Houndstooth or Wolfgang Voigt's GAS project, Out & Back is the equivalent of being strapped into the front loader of a hyperspeed-cruiser: face-melting.
