Review: Having debuted on Dixon Avenue Basement Jams as part of the Glasgow label's DABJ Allstars Vol.1 last year, Texan Gavin Guthrie returns for duty here with a full record as TX Connect. There's a strobe-friendly feel throughout this DABJammer, as the producer joins the dots between acid house and fluorescent techno, with a few hints of early '90s rave thrown in. This is most obvious on the title track, which expertly fuses a wobbly acid line, ricocheting drum machine hits and a nagging, early '90s riff. "Intramountains" comes swaddled in stormy sound effects, cloaking its hissing rhythms with foreboding techno stabs and backwards samples. As for "Xanadu", it's a deliciously rough-and-ready chunk of late night acid jack.
