Review: The Sneaker Social Club crew continues to impress with every new drop they deliver, this time diving further into their more garage-centric roots as they welcome House of Black Lanterns inside for four fiery creations. Opening up with 'Back To Back Special', a murky, sublow bubbler jam-packed with nostalgic drum chops and unique bass design, followed by the more brightened chord progressions of 'Out To The Private Number' and moog-driven subs slides of 'Slew', again, combining old school with originality in real style. Finally, 'Summon Like This' gives us a spacey roller to close things off, focussing on bone-chilling transitions and moody synth sweeps, rounding this project off with a serious buzz.
Review: It's yet another blockbuster release from the Sneaker Social Club team, who welcome the sounds of Park End across for shiny new sweepers with seriously spicy feeling. We open up with the dark atmospheric rumblings and shuffling breaksy sweeps of 'Same Dream', followed by the incredibly eerie soundscaping of 'The Immortality Of The Crab', a real switch up to say the least. Next, a more abstract take on the UKG sound as Park End delivers a clicky remix of 'BBS', reworking it into a sublow heavy chugger, with the grimey synth work and abnormal processing of 'Rekt' then giving us another otherworldly soundbomb as a closer. Awesome work!
Review: It's time to get groovy as the Sneaker Social Club invite Hornsey Hardcore into the blend for a storming two track pairing, If you are looking for a real hardcore taste testing, looking no further than the title track 'Don't Get Strange', which combines unpredictable organ riffs with glitchy electric chord patterns for a real nostalgic effect. On the flip, we unveil the mega gritty movements of 'The Wiz', which uses clean breakbeat drums as its lead source of energy. Both of these ones are perfect for sending the ravers into another dimension.
Review: A debut album from Etch on Sneaker Social Club isn't something to be sniffed at. The producer has proven time and time again he can make some of the most creative breaks music around, this time his skills being shown off in a nasty 12-track format. The diversity on this release is just mad, from the soulful sampling yet gully undercuts of 'Groove Control' to the penetratingly deep ambience of 'Outsider' featuring Farrah. This is dance music diversity at its finest and Etch is the purveyor. Don't miss 'Snell's Law', where bass notes underpin crisp drums that constantly switch and keep you on toes, as well as 'Swirls and Spirals', a hip-hop leaning number that bring some gawpingly good funk influences into the mix. All twelve are interesting including some wicked interludes, so be sure to grab this one.
Review: Etch gets chemical on this epic return to Sneaker Social Club with four unique broken grooves; "Chemotaxis" rolls with Zed Bias-style breaks before switching into a hazy steppy halftime arrangement, "What Lies Beyond" is a love letter to Reinforced at 130 BPM, "Green Park" slides and glides with a warm warped funk before mutating into a savage rave stepper, before "Prismatic" slides down the shutters on a dreamy jazz breaks finale. Reactions guaranteed.
