Review: CEE is an artist collective that unites musicians with designers, digital creators and researchers and uses technology to empower 'creativity, critical thinking, research and independence'. On
PRIMARY FOREST 01, the collective's first compilation, that free-spirited creativity shines through. It's audible on the glitchy, abstract tones of Ma Sha's "Are They Back" and the frenetic breaks that power AFM's "Tons Of Stuff I Can't Breathe". It also fuels Pepe's rolling techno contribution, "Hard", and the avant-garde rhythm at the heart of An Avrin's "I-find-U". Fans of bass-heavy dance music will also find much to love here, with DJ Fucci's "Romance Intergalactico" delivering bruising sub-bass and system-levelling drums.
Review: With the best play-on-a-name since Com Truise and Eltron John we are now met with Gayphextwin, the alias of Brooke Keller out of San Francisco. Teaming up with Jose Bernat aka Pepe from Spain, the pair share a split EP on Portuguese label Naive that since its inception in late 2017 has released music from Photonz, Octa Octa and newcomer Ilana Bryne. The pair meet in Gayphextwin's remix to the euphoric, bass heavy and sweet trancey number "Palinka Hammer" by Pepe, who also delivers two originals that find subtle touches of jungle and amen breaks spliced between the tropical beats of "It's The Lights That Make You Pretty" and percussions of "Bridging Mechanics". Housier atmospheres make their way into Pepe's 'Hyperoxygenation' remix of "Spz1" too, with "This Is How I Feel" delivering a beatdown deconstruction of industrial beats and bleep-ridden tones.
