Raw Takes – ZMNT008 [ZMNT008]

hipodrome, , , Leave a comment

Raw Takes offers up exactly that – perfectly imperfect electro jams direct from his machines. He takes charge of all six cuts on this new Zement EP. ‘901 Area’ opens with wobbly sheet metal synths and zippy pads that eventually coalesce around a nice snappy electro breakbeat. ‘Sxx’ pairs ambient pads with machine gun laser fire and ‘JMS’ then brings a more deep and reverential viber. The rich variation continues on the flip so that there is everything from tripped-out acid to hard-hitting and ear-drum-shattering electro-tech.

Zement welcome back Ole Mic Odd and Alonzo for another punch of high impact tunes aimed squarely at the floor. There is plenty of cosmic urgency to the electro-tech of ‘B-A-D’ and all its withering sci-fi aesthetics. ‘Automate Your Mind’ bristles eve more with brilliantly tight drums and hits and mystic pads up above. ‘Body Rocking’ gets busy with pixelated melodic arps and vocoder vocals with punchy kicks and ‘Smoke Break’ is a more mindful and slower jam for thoughtful reflection.

OLE MIC ODD - ZMNT 004

The next number on Zement is by Ole Mic Odd (aka Michael Padgett). He is a hardware operator and DJ from Los Angeles. He runs the label The New U.S. Government. Two slow gfunkish tracks for the slow people and two fast acid booty tracks that will blast your shoes off.

Kluentah recrutes for the next number on Zement the underground prodigy L.F.T. straight out the sewer. All four tracks are neckbracking belter on its own class. Murderous acidlines and floorshaking basslines plus dirty drums that will blast your pants off.
