Review: Nine months on from the release of the throbbing and pulsating 'Zombie Dance' on Permanent Vacation, Zombies in Miami return to their Creatures of the Night label - the Mexican duo's first appearance on the imprint since 2022's fine collaboration with Lauer, 'Michelada Brothers'. On 'The Rhythm', the duo takes a different tack, dispensing with nods to Italo-disco in favour of weighty tribal house beats (think late '90s Junior Vasquez and Danny Tenaglia), restless electronic bass, echoing vocal snippets and mind-mangling effects. It's genuinely fantastic and comes backed with two tidy reworks: a pots-and-pans-percussion propelled dancefloor dub by Cani, and the sleazy, low slung and stretched-out 'Factory Setup' remix.
Review: Bass Culture Records welcomes ZKY with open arms, as the German producer delivers four deep house tracks on his New Standards EP. Opening with "Zycho", ZKY sets the tone with a dynamic groove infused with cosmic hues and trippy chord movements. "Floating Phonk" slows the pace with funky loops and organic percussion, while "Sonar Train" showcases ZKY's machines at work with infectious synth noodling. Closing with "Feeling", ZKY treats listeners to muted chords and soft acid bass, oh yeah - new standards!
