Review: Given his affiliation with Black Strobe and production partnership with Arnaud Rebotini, it's perhaps unsurprising that Matthieu Zub's Museum project deals solely in dark and clandestine electronics. The Das Boot EP - his first for Space Factory - explores similar influences, too (think EBM, acid house, darkwave etc). Arguably the standout track is opener "Departure", a pulsating industrial-meets-acid chugger that bangs hard despite its 111 BPM tempo. There's more acid influence in the undulating, eyeliner-clad gothic techno of "Like A Ghost", while "The Endless Odyssey" is similarly maudlin, despite its dancefloor intentions. Happily, there are some stonking accompanying remixes, with Workerpoor's Drexciyan version of "Departure" and Rebotini's thumping re-cut of "Like A Ghost" standing out.
Review: Good time guys Adan and Ilse have spread their macho message over a bonus-sized EP and it's a rich tapestry. Largely retro-gazing to the exciting emergence of electro pop in the early 80s, but with more contemporary production values, it's a deep dive into an endless trippy kitsch cosmos. With layered loopy vocals and nagging, bum-shaking analogue synth hooks it's both alluring and exciting thanks to its light-hearted delivery. With remixes from David Carretta (churchy vocals), Peter Rainman (Depeche Mode flex) Apparatus Acid (naughty techno) and Club Armour (think early Black Strobe), this really is quite the package.
