Brain Machine – Alpha Beta Gamma [THR003]
Epic kosmiche/Italo expedition from Guido Zen and Juan Trippe’s Brain Machine, co-piloted with remixes with Von Spar and Johan Agebjörn! The ten minute vastness of ‘Alpha Beta Gamma’ nods to both Schulze and Moroder and should command any dancefloor it’s sent to, while Von Spar give a neater, pop-sized version still with the triplet rhythm propulsion. Johan Agebjörn’s productions is kinda like viewing the northern lights from a shuttle above Detroit.

Braille – The Year 3000 [RHDC009]
Braille serves up a firing couple of tracks on Rush Hour’s Direct Current sub label…. ‘The Year 3000’ is a vocal house mover that craftily reworks a classic Chicago house vocal and gives it new life back into the future. ‘Leavin Without You’ is built around a heartfelt vocal soul sample, which cuts in and out of the mix leaving room the music to take off leaving planet earth. Braille creates a perfect balance between the old and the new and shows us the way forward.
