Two Fingers – “Razorback”/ “Magoo” (Big Dada)
October 15, 2012 § Leave a comment
If you imagine Mantronix as a Kenworth K100 truck, Two Fingers is what happens when the truck turns into Optimus Prime.
And there could be no more applicable audio accompaniment to that quote from Big Dada than today’s release from the double A-side single, Razorback. Alongside Sweden and from their just-released Stunt Rhythms, Razorback is a glitchy frontrunner on an album that has seen 3 years pass since bi-collaborators Two Fingers’ last release. Fitting Amon Tobin’s departure from his celebrated A/V soundscapes, Stunt Rhythms is a gluttonously-heavy audio-caterer.
Razorback:
And from the same album, Magoo booms like robotic West Coast:

Shed – “I Come By Night” (50 Weapons)
July 27, 2012 § Leave a comment
Released today and marking the artist’s debut on Berlin’s 50 Weapons, Shed’s confidently-titled third album, The Killer, looks set to capitalise on its audio-murderous intent. Stalking you like a stealthy techno assassin, I Come By Night is the third track on this consistent release and my pick for its delicious darkness, weight, and haunting synth floatation. Absolutely merciless.
Available to download at 50 Weapons.
Semtek – “Bento” (Scott Fraser’s Decompression Dub)
July 4, 2012 § Leave a comment
Recently released on the ever-pleasing Awkward Movements label is Semtek’s latest output, Bento. The London-based producer and founder of label Don’t Be Afraid has delivered another round of his idiosyncratic tech house sound with this anticipated track.
Accompanying Semtek’s release is Scott Fraser’s Decompression Dub remix, which sees the producer end his hiatus with the kind of audio assault that’s so deliciously relentless as to make us truly thankful he did. Pushing a near-obscene level of gratuitous bass, this stand-alone variation sees the Wave/Black Nation artist return in stellar sonic form.
Shamelessly filthy and yours to download now at Juno.
