Review: New York's Agent Orange DJ comes good with an old school-influenced EP. The golden era of dance music looms large on ACTIV8; apart from the release's title, there's the fast-paced, sample-heavy house of "I'm The Freak", while on "In Your Soul Bone" dramatic chords are looped over a slamming techno backing. The release takes a grittier turn on the title track, with rough kicks underpinning a looped siren riff and insistent stabs, while "Squaring Mantis" is based on a similar approach. On this occasion, eerie organ playing is combined with insistent hi hats to create the kind of dynamic minimal techno that Rob Hood is known for.
