Durant – The Dove Ultimatum [VVR005]
Vae Victis can’t hide their love and passion for raw house and techno. On this 5th release there is another fine selection of hybrids between styles perfectly expressing their love for genre bending music. Durant exists out of a small collective of producers with main roles for Steve Murphy, Die Roh and Lucretio. The Dove Ultimatum, a 4 tracks ep of punchy analogue electronic music. On the a-side lay General Motors and At Ten, 2 broken beat electro techno tracks a la Drexciya showing the hardest and most experimental side of the project. While on the flip the trio bring things on a housier field, though staying loyal to the a-side vibe by delivering 2 dark and obsessive raw house tracks.
Factory Aire – B.O.Y. [SHK006]
Shaddock’s sixth outing features the young talented L.A. based artist Jeremy Berman aka Factory Aire, including remixes by two longtime companions DJ Stingray and Atom™ as well as the ominous Auxon.nThe original title – B.O.Y is an epic-futuristic track, rich in complexity and varied melodic levels subtley playing with heavy, stomping beats. DJ Stingray delivers a stunning rework with his unique, fast paced blend blurring the borders between Jungle, Electro and Bass Music while Atom™, returns to his old Acid House heights dropping a 120 bpm house killer. Auxon’s high-energy rerub puts a more modern touch to this disco-spacey crusade adding some vital sparks of trance.
Jupiter Jazz – Booty Jazz [ELL011]
Jupiter Jazz dropping their inaugural EP ‘Booty Jazz’ are sucking the dancefloor into their flaming orbit and leaving all inhabitants senses back on earth. ‘Shake It Mama’ launches the booty theme with a vortex of dirty, dark 80s electro, growling low-end and Cameo style vocoder while a smoother groovier deeper vibe shimmers through ‘Technology’ on the b-side. Taking a weirder turn ‘Good Girl’ seals the package with a sleazy male vocal line, tight drums and hypnotic pads. So let Jupiter Jazz drag you into the black hole of ‘Booty Jazz’ for some intergalactic misbehavior.
