Review: Neil Parnell (aka Tronik Youth) has been a staple of London's electro scene for about 10 years now. Lately he's been putting out some seriously fine mixes and re-edits, but here he's just dropped a brand new production. "Zulu Whiskey" is a slowly escalating electro-houser with severe new wave/Balearic leanings - always a good thing in our book. There's plenty of remixes too, including Gemini Brothers' deep and fuzzy italo/cosmic workout and, best of all, the filthy and broken EBM thruster of a mix by man of the moment, Emile Strunz.
Review: Blamma! Blamma! Have made a name for themselves by making long, linear disco belters, and here they arrive on the mighty Eskimo for more of their if-it-ain't-broke disco formula. "Zsa Zsa" is an eight-minute deep headnodder based on an extremely catchy sampled piano riff and a diva mantra. Eelke Klein Filter shake things up a bit, delivering a lively funky house rework that's sure to invoke dancing on tabletops wherever it's played.
Review: The original of this first saw the light back in autumn 2013, and it remains a dynamically built nu-disco track boasting early Aeroplane style piano licks and an arresting vocal from Kristina Train. It's Blamma Blamma at their most stately and stunning. Here we find it in remix form; Psychemagik provide a liquid, bulbous bass facelift, Cato re-emphasises the nude beauty with a few edit sparkles, Wolf + Lamb go deeper with a synth heavy late-night floor stomper while Kiani vs Red D close the show with a sunset-minded slice of modern euphoria. Each twist adding a whole new chapter to the Blamma Blamma story, the only problem is working out which rub to add in your next set.
Review: As collaborations go, this is more than a little tasty. It sees former Chicken Lips man Dean Meredith don his Rhythm Odyssey alter ego for a delay-laden hoedown with New York's finest, Eric 'Dr Dunks' Duncan (he of Rub N Tug fame). Given both producers' fondness for dub disco and raw Chicagoan jack tracks, "Zoo-Ma-City" was always likely to be a sweaty late night beast designed to wreak havoc in dimly-lit basements the world over. It's all that and more - a fearsome dubwise acid jacker full of hissing hi-hats and snappy snares, built around a rock solid analogue bassline and twisted vocal samples. File under "delightfully grubby".
