Review: Next up from the awesome Wot U Sayin imprint, a vibrant collection of dancefloor ready bubblers, seeing five artists land with their front foot forward. We open up with De Flurb, arriving with a crunchy combination of neurotic synthesiser twists and 2 stepper rhythmic feels, followed by both the breaksy abandon of Lexiecode's 'Skanky Girl' and heavily syncopated subby sinks of 'Spicy Dust' from Outselect. Finally, two additional rollers make their way forward, with Littlefoot's square-bass driven pulsar in 'Final Hourz' and Haavo's super spacey soundscaping on 'Outcome' providing the EP's final tasty touches. Top work!
Review: Next up from the Time Is Now crew, we see them pull together a very tidy link up as Y U QT lands inside for a rave-ready celebration of garage music across five floor-filling originals. We begin with the super groovy chord expressions and hard hitting drum rhythms of '5 A Day', before 'Keep On Lovin' Me' takes the sound a little more lo-fi with filtered drum arrangements and catchy vocal riffs. Next, 'Look Good' provides us with some colourful instrumentation and a shimmering violin tone, followed firstly by the more UK bass influenced LFO structures of 'Chopper, then the pulsating bass pressures of 'Hardly Keep It' to put the final touches on this wicked selection.
Review: The shady U is a bit of a maverick. Not only because we still have no idea as to this artist's true identity, but also because he (or she!) travels from label to label with nothing but quality material. The producer is back on Phantasy Sound, and these two tunes are by far the best that we've heard from him. It's hard to know where the groove of "Friendly Ghost" starts and ends, but what we can say is that it's a deep and singular tribal tune with plenty of warm, hazy FX trickery, whereas "Ascension Hymn" bashes out the techno drums amid a woozy, hypnotic swarm of sonics that circle up and down with a startling, ritualistic sort of energy. A massive TIP, right here!
