Another dispatch from two familiar conspirators of the Brew fold, Beau Wanzer & Jason Letkiewicz together as The Headaches. 4 tracks of the heaviest sonic mutations that feels part seance and part sweat-drenched dancefloor. Good for nocturnal roaming through the city or for a frenzy in heady basements.
Dutch label Brew returns with more moody techno that is both deep yet impactful. It’s Robert Bergman at the helm and ‘3 AM’ is his opening gambit. It has ghostly voices shimmering across the beats with a menacing low end, rugged bassline and scaring percussive sounds. ‘#5’ is another fresh sound with great sound designs and alluring rhythms and last of all is ‘Drum Trax’ which is a third and final blend of nostalgic and futuristic house tropes for heady basements.
A tribute record of sorts. But Brew style. In a sci-fi techno way a take on Sleng Teng. Use the machines, do not let them control you. The flip contains a car chase theme song that’s tailored to perhaps the best car ever made. The VW Golf 4. Which can only be improved with a blown soundsystem. And possibly with actual cars who are in pursuit.
Beau (Wanzer), Jason (Letkiewicz) and Misha (Khokhlov) are Frantic Excess and they’re here to sour up your night. Very good for any mutant hideout or humid dungeon.
Another pocketsize edition in the Brew white label series. Sounds big enough for your weird uncle’s wedding, but also perfect to play at other mutant gatherings. 2 tracks, very loud.
Heavyweight 12” just in time to soundtrack the demise of humanity. No internet-ready ‘deep’ home listening tracks but a continuation of the previous 12”s. Big nods to the past, but then again it somehow seems fitting that our demise is founded on the relics of the past. For those who like to get wild or die trying.
Warning: There are Boney bits in this burger. Against the granary. reaction music. Acidification causes sourness.
