DAVE THE DRUMMER Vinilo y CD

Review: Techno titans Chris Liberator and D.A.V.E. The Drummer are Dynamo City and they dropped this searing techno first back in 2006. It got remixed various times by various artists in the years after but now we get two originals on bright pink vinyl 12" thanks to Stay Up Forever. 'One Night In Hackney' is a blistering cut with brain frazzling synths over slamming drums and spoken word monologues about a night out. 'One Night In A Village In Kent' then ups the ante and brings more rave potency with even more high octane drums pounding away down low. Not for the faint hearted!

Review: Southside has very much set out its stall early on here - it's a Dutch label that wants to bring high-impact techno to DJs, dancers and dancefloors everywhere. This third transmission is another various artists offering with none other than enduring techno legend Dave The Drummer stepping up with Tiago Santo to open proceedings. Their 'Cosmic energy' is machine-driven techno with grinding bass. Marcio M's 'Broken' is more raucous and textured in its rusty metal drum loops and Acid Chochi keeps it nice and speedy and trippy with his aptly named 'Psychedelic Drug.' Last but not least, Marcio M. & Tiago Santos convene for the ever rising and suspenseful 'Astral Dimension.'
