Phuture / Jackmaster Hater – Acid Trax [KR005]

PHUTURE/JACKMASTER HATER - Acid Trax (Front Cover)

Rough and ready, previously unreleased takes on Phuture’s blueprint-setting ‘Acid Trax’. Frontside is a 4:45min version by Phuture with slightly altered drum pattern harnessed to that virulent 303 sequence. Flipside Jackmaster Hater comes like a oil-spattered Chi-town mechanic, retuning the engine of battered but classic motor.

Midland – Through Motion EP [AUS1133]

Midland drops his third solo EP on the esteemed Aus Music imprint. ‘Through Motion’ is led by a smooth tech/house percussive pattern, whilst airy synths rise and fall in the backdrop. The introduction of the deep sub bass kicks the rhythms into real action, soon to be complemented by an unidentifiable vocal sample and the gradual emergence of beautiful chord melody.
