Review: Jad & The is unstoppable and it's becoming clear and apparent that the guy has talent, taste and style when it comes to keeping the sound of house alive and real! With drums as tough as kerri chandler, basslines as phat as the cab drivers and synths and noodling as Legowelt, the guy can write. Here he delivers another four good vibes bangers, keeping it roland with the drum and hi hats and acid as F* wherever he wants. Australia's answer to a young Buttechno - but house!
Review: Crosstown Rebels boss Damian Lazarus seems to be mellowing with age - or at least getting more artistically adventurous. This follow-up to his 2009 debut, Smoke The Monster Out, was co-produced by Simian Mobile Disco's James Ford in LA. London and Mexico, with the assistance of an impressive cast of musicians from around the world. While rooted in the kind of tactile house and techno most associated with the evergreen hipster, Message From The Other Side is impressively psychedelic, otherworldly and stargazing in outlook. The album's woozy, horizontal appeal is therefore enhanced by Lazarus and Ford's use of Indian instrumentation, African percussion and impeccable keys-work from American jazz pianist Eric Lewis.
