Zoovox – Transistor Madness [LSR1002]

hipodrome, , , , Leave a comment

Lectric Sands presents “Transistor Madness”, the second release by Zoovox aka Ben Gebhardt (Dazzle Ships) and “Tropical” Jeremy Campbell (Tropical Computer System/Dazzle Ships/Bumrocks). They present some classic sounds of 80’s house and disco. Snappy claps, phased
hi-hats, moody synth pads, and sproings float over a swingin’ analogue bassline. The B-side, a version by Steve Summers brings it to new levels of dubbed-out psychedelia. Enhanced sproing, acid seepage, tropical synths, and Moar Cowbell.

Composing an entire electronic album around the notorious 15th Century Cult Of Assassins, New Jersey based producer Jorge Velez, better known as Professor Genius, has created a unique and ambitious piece of work, under the guise of “Hassan”. Largely based around layered atmospheric Arabic-styled synth work and sparse percussion throughout, Hassan employs an entirely electronic palette to bring listeners into a secret world filled with darkness, drama, triumph and chaotic dissonance. The release includes also remixes by Steve Moore, Marcos Cabral and Steve Summers.

Cover art - Two Dogs In A House: Dogs Anthem

Two Dogs In A House is Steve Summers and Ron Morelli (L.I.E.S) meanest project to date. Rising from the delay saturated muck, pushing the red, straight forward and to the point with no time to waste, these Brooklyn dogs started with a simple modus operandi as to make effective, psychedelic tracks. This 12” is an statement by itself, sounding more experimental and raw, it evokes Chicago, Detroit, and Industrial Records equally.

Jason Letkiewicz aka Steve Summers latest EP moves forward from his previous efforts touching upon the seedier and more jacking side of what New York City House music once was. Bringing to mind images of a more dangerous and exciting city where crackheads roamed free, hookers hooked, fiends copped bags and music existed as a reactionary reflection of its surroundings. Directly influenced by these times, Summers took his arsenal and concocted an emotional four song record that nods to this period as well as foreshadows the impending doom of a city wrapped in an airtight bubble.
