Review: The mysterious 'man from Marseille' VernoN contributes a second single of rattling, unhinged techno for Glasgow's excellent Dixon Avenue Basement Jams and we think this might be the best release from the label yet! With a title like How To Travel The Universe (Without A Flying Saucer)it's definitely the best named DABJ platter thus far. Musically, the four tracks here build on the instant gratification of VernoN's debut missive, if anything showing a tougher side to the Frenchman. "One Night In Tanzania" is perhaps the stand out track, nestling snugly in the interzone between deep and deranged whilst "How To Buiild A Pyramid" and "Nightmares" sit steadfastly in the latter camp. The former is all jagged acid lines shooting out in various directions amidst cascading drums whilst the latter is pure jacking intensity.

Review: Yet another unknown name lines the third release from Dixon Avenue Basement Jams; and just like Marquis Hawkes before him, the unheralded VernoN ensures the Glasgow label's run of deep seated heat continues unfettered. The four track Chicken Dance dovetails nicely with the aforementioned Hawkes DABJ drop, locking onto a deeper approach to the jacking sound across three original productions. The title track is the undoubted highlight here, whilst the distinct Oompa Loompas on the 303 vibe of "The Smoking Hat" had a real marmite effect on the Juno office. Kudos to DABJ for reaching out to Edinburgh label Firecracker and borrowing the undeniable talents of Fudge Fingas for a 808 heavy remix of "Low Control".

Review: It's been a rollercoaster year for Vernon as his explosion on the scene has ridden the crest of the Dixon Avenue Basement Jams assault on po-faced dance music. Without once becoming trashy the techincolour dazzle of his synth work bursts out of New Beats, demanding you sit up and pay attention. There's plenty of different moods on offer, from the loping swinging acid of "Dark River" to the peak-time thrust of "Awakening In Antwerp"s new beat laced electro-techno. The best moments come on the flipside though, from the taut drum sex of "Belgium Stance" to the searching funk of "55 Rules".
