Review: After his successful turn on Maceo Plex's Ellum Audio Danny Daze scores further points with this signing to Jimmy Edgar's Ultramajic imprint, turning out a monstrous peak time club rocker that's equal parts heavy hitting and malicious restraint. The bassline stays firmly in place to keep the brain pinned down while all around it narcotic blasts of synth weirdness whirl in ever increasing displays of ostentatious production, and that's just the title track. "When The Freaks Come Out" is a more measured electro-tinged stalker, while "Beatdown" gets into a more techy 4/4 stomp sure to get fists shaking across the globe.
Review: This tune on Jimmy Edgar and Travis Stewart's Ultramajic label has been making its way into plenty of DJ sets as of late, and for good reason too. It's got everything you could possibly want from a dance track: catchy hooks, techno sensibility, electronic oddities and a wholly seductive, bass-driven groove. Of course, our man Jimmy Edgar provides the finest retouch one could possibly ask for, bringing forth his inimitable and sexy flair to the equation. Top notch.
Review: Dropping single number 3 for his Ultramajic imprint, Jimmy Edgar is bringing some no-nonsense electro heat to the boil across three tracks and then sprinkling all kinds of unusual spices to twist the proceedings up. "Ultraviolet" is the most straight-up affair, strutting on a rigid groove and gnarly synth lines that spit out a clear message that it's time to party. "Qlinda" is more curious with its insistent vocal snippets nagging away against the relatively austere deep house groove, but there's still room for some of the choppy edit trickery that Edgar made his name on. "Mercurio" meanwhile gets on a Dance Mania hype that keeps the mood raw and rough, mixing in a touch of footwork and darting into breakdowns and build ups erratically to keep the dancers on their toes.
Review: Jimmy Edgar's Ultramajic label reaches only its second EP and goes conceptual with the first in a series of Metaphysix releases; in Edgar's own words, "reality is based upon thought systems and this is the core of music and vibration, each chapter of the series we will give these ideas to the artists for them to interpret in any way they choose". The debut Metaphysix transmission sees two contributions each from Aden and Creepy Autograph, with the former elusive producer calling shotgun and gracing the A-side with a pair of dubby numbers that have apparently caught the ears of Scuba and Boys Noize. The bleep-laden electro cut "Luft" is particularly ace. Down below Creepy Autograph resurface after a series of excellent releases on Valentine Connexion and show they've lost none of their class - the stripped back ghetto house of "Back Alley" is great!
Review: Electro-deviant Jimmy Edgar has linked up once again with his JETS partner Machinedrum to launch the Ultramajic imprint, and he gets first stab at a release with this taut three tracker. "Hot Inside" is as unashamed a peak-time heater as Edgar has ever turned his hand to, sporting a riotous diva vocal hook and crisp house drums, but there's still a strong techno injection in the synth work and shifting phases of the track. "Strike" is a more abrasive affair with its metallic delay vibrations and relentlessly nagging jack, while "Shout" comes on all electro house in its fulsome bassline and shouty vocal snippets.
