Review: Mr Oizo hooks up with Crookers for a raw release that transcends genres. Crookers fly solo on "They Comin'", where vocal samples echo against dubbed out drums and razor-sharp percussion. The counterpoint between these elements makes for a wonderfully understated, spaced out techno track. "Johnny Depp", Crookers' collaboration with Mr Oizo, is more earthy. Powered by a rubbery bass and concrete kicks, it is peppered with dramatic French vocal samples and glassy synths. Label regulars
Nikki Nair & DJ ADHD are tapped to rework "Johnny Depp". In their hands, it takes on a radically different shape. Upping the tempo and layering the arrangement with feedback, they turn in a galloping peak-time banger that resounds to dramatic screeches and tortured tones.
Review: Their first label compilation since 2008, Busy P rallies up his talented troops for a collection of exclusive tracks to celebrate a decade of electro excellence. And we mean excellence. Each cut sparkles with its maker's idiosyncrasies; Krazy Baldhead lays down his most textured cosmic melodies, Busy P gets sleazy and old school Chicago with Thunderbird Gerard, Justice give their star-gazing air-guitar basher a truly majestic rework and Oizo gets his slo-mo hammer on with some gorgeous jacking de-pitched synth stabs. There's loads more to chew on here, and not a dull moment throughout. Here's to another decade.
