ADAM COLLINS Vinilo y CD

Review: Grant Dell, D.A.M.N. label boss and minimal house purveyor since the late 1990s, and Adam Collins, one half of the duo Omni AM, team up for a delectable double-sided waxen coin minted with the visage of experimental tech. In two breaths, the producers venture both 'Out East' and 'Out West', plunging the otherwise readymade minimal house formula in vats of reverb, b-breaks sensibilities and oddball effects. They also choose an unusual palette of sounds, which verges on speed garage by the time we reach the end of the B.

Review: Vitamin For Ears is back with a second offering of healthy sonics to improve your day and this time it is Adam Collins who is the doctor in charge of serving you your medicine. It's an atmospheric opener with 'Aacid Reboo' setting a moody scene before 'Sombor' then rides on live-sounding broken beats and 'Customary' rides a rubbery, rocketing house groove full of playfulness and smart samples. The flip side offers three more hugely varied sounds from ambient to icy minimalism on 'Echo Walk' via more rugged tech on the final cut 'Electro Spruce'.
