Deal With It - (5:34)
124 BPM Yah Boobay - (6:24) 122 BPM
Review: When it comes to serving up all-analogue box jams, few labels can compete with Jerome Hill's Super Rhythm Trax imprint. The latest hardware fiend to join Hill's retro-futurist revolution is debutant Pendle Watkins. Naturally, there's barely a duffer in sight. Watkins begins with the intergalactic, Motor City electronics and sweaty drum machine hits of "Deal With It", before sauntering into deeper territory via the Larry Heard-esque "Emerge". You'll then find the raging acid heaviness of "Domination" - all psychedelic TB-303 lines, dystopian vocal samples and redlined percussion - and the fuzzy alien bliss of undulating jack-track "Yah Boobay". In other words, it's a fine collection of club-ready analogue workouts.
