Review: Irish techno veteran Matador is back to present the latest offering on his ever reliable Rukus imprint. This one is titled "Eightball", a haunting expression in dancefloor drama. Utilizing a seething yet restrained bassline in an elaborate arrangement, plus a spellbinding melody that accentuates the tension and suspense lurking in the background. This is followed by the glassy-eyed and bittersweet progressive house epic "Higher", getting you into the mood by way of its seductive vocals and mesmerising layers of texture.
Review: Having already featured both tracks on his recent Essential Mix, Skream now makes DUNNN available to fans and DJs. Drawing on the heritage of tough New York house, the title track centres on tough drums and a driving rhythm that underpins soulful vocal samples. By adding incessant percussion and repetitive riffs to the arrangement, Skream lends it a contemporary electronic edge. On "Tramadollied", he opts for a different approach. Laying down a pulsating groove and adding in outer space bleeps, he delivers a brooding, somewhat bleak techno track that's equally suited to big rooms and small basements. Long may his house and techno fixation last.
