Review: For the third release on his fast-rising Childhood label, German producer Muallem has turned to Colin McBean AKA Mr G. As you'd expect given his impeccable track record over the last three decades, The Forced Force Is Not The True Force - McBean's seventh full-length excursion and first for three years - is really rather good. It sees him draw inspiration not from the tough but funky tech-house he's known for, but rather a combination of warehouse-ready, rave-era house music and vintage electro. The result is a superb set of spacey, sweaty dancefloor treats - with a handful of contemplative ambient moments thrown in - which flit between peak-time ready energy, mid-set weightiness, and the kind of saucer-eyed slow jams that sound superb during warm-up sets. Intergalactic, retro-futurist bliss.
