Review: Rich Thair's agenda-setting Red Snapper return with the first taste of what we can expect from their next album. Their seventh to date, it's their most psychedelic outing to date with a mad 70s Senegalese road movie concept behind it. If "Card Trick" is anything to go by, the album's going to be a real treat... Vibrant, star-gazing grooves that twist and turn by way of slippery synths and analogue textures, it's wholly immersive and will resonate with DJs across the board... From techno to disco. Remix-wise Tici Taci adds a little more dancefloor beef. Further on we find two remixes of "Village Tap"; Aunty Flo pays full attention to the emotional pianos with a subtle percussive bed and soft-yet-driving dynamics while band leader Thair unleashes his inner drummer with a deep, dubby, swinging reversion. A consummate return from one of the UK's most long-standing, free-thinking dance acts.
Review: Although we're glad to see the back of winter, it's OK to greet this "Verge Of Winter" with warm arms. Bristolian producer, Zoon Van Snook, began by playing keyboards in any indie band that'd have him. He made the jump into making his own electronica a few years ago and has received much acclaim. Following recent album "The Bridge Between Life & Death", ZVS is back with this new one-off featuring maudlin cello over trip-hop beats and tinkling piano. Isan remixes it in a gentle bottle-playing style while Sir Doufuss Styles summons the ghost of early Air for his mix.
