HUNTER Vinilo y CD

Review: Our summer months were satiated thanks to the good people over at Hot Creations - with this summer sampler being a collaborative effort from the label's close friends. All the tracks should be played on a beach in the early hours, but to be honest, they still work extremely well in the rainy north European zones! Danney's "Ultraviolet" is an 80s inspired scorcher, those funky Casio lines brewing gently over the beat; whilst Mark Jenkyns gave us "Wind It Back", another old-school anthem, this time given a heavier electro shade thanks to that grinding bass line. "Don't Feel The Presence" by Hunter/Game is exactly what you want to hear on a warm Ibiza morning - gentle, seductive and reassuring!

Review: Italian duo Hunter/Game have released several Eps on Sasha's Last Night On Earth over the last few years. This time they hand in an effort which is quite stomping for a Kompakt release, but we're really digging it. The tough peak time stomp of "Adaptation" is obviously as melodic (in a rather Stephan Bodzin way) and as dreamy as you'd expect, but executed with an underlying fury, fuelled mainly by a tough 125 BPM groove and a dark doom laden bass. This track has serious cross over potential and deserves attention. On the flip we've got "The Path" a wickedly dark journey track that fits into the current status quo with its wonky and buzzing synth leads that just reek of main room dancefloor euphoria in a Life & Death kind of way. Ones to watch!
