Review: Breakbeat, acid and electro vibes in the house from new school emerging act, Match Box. Delivering a third installment to the Who's Susan label, this six-track mini-LP ventures through deeper 303 basslines and Middle-Eastern tendencies in tracks like "Fluidum" and "Mutation Gamble" - which in particular holds down a new age feel that this EP fully represents. With breakbeat attitudes on show in numbers like "Amethist", trance inspirations also find their way through tremolo synth and vocal effects, with ambient and jungle tips to be found in a most lovely "Kafkaesque". "Rain Check", the title track here, delivers something as Clone West Coast series as it is '90s trance love. Old sounds, new heat.
Review: The Who's Susan team have delivered a real gem with this one as they welcome the wonderful sounds of Match Box across a fabulous three-track expanse. We begin with the shifting atmospheric pad textures and warbling sub-bass textures of 'Amethist', a worthy title track and a solid introduction to the Match Box sound. Following this we are introduced to a more dancefloor influenced blend of acidic moogs and tidy breaks by the name of 'DR From Space', inside which we are joined by Exo Moda for some slick additional production work. Finally 'Mutation Gamble' allows our outro to be doused in emotive melodic structure and drifty harmonies, layered inbetween classy breaks for a perfect sign off.
