JAVONNTTE Vinilo y CD

Review: Lello Di Franco (LDF) makes a powerful return to Skylax following a sprinting Giro Romalis remix, teaming up with Detroit's Javonntte for 'People From Mars'. The new EP echoes the not entirely capturable original virtue of Detroit house, though we also hear green-skinned ETs laying surreal laser descenders over spiked beats, alienating the style from its motoric origins. 'Saved' also nods to Chicago acid, but its whale-song echoes strip an original croon of its scantness, plunging an invocation to Chi-town into a Europan alien sea. 'Love Anthem', meanwhile, on the flip, provides a pointed swing and exhalatory voice, echoing Omar S with its gritty analogues.
