Animals On Psychedelics Vinilo y CD

Review: Following an excellent EP from Memphis, Animals On Psychedelics returns with more weird and wonderful party fare from the outer reaches. This time it's a various artists release that brings together all the producers involved in the label so far, while also introducing BPMF to the fold with the woozy, rubbery synth shapes of "Liza On Clouds." Jane Fitz and Dom Ahtuam's Invisible Menders project presents the rolling, psyched out melodics of "Three On Three," while Memphis pushes further into experimental territory with the wonderfully fractured "Altered States." That leaves it to Miro SundayMusiq to complete the EP with the wave-meets-Italo tones of "From Behind The Corner," a perfectly noirish flourish to finish a sterling record.

Review: Carl Hardy's Animals On Psychedelics is surely the best dance music label to have ever been run out of the seaside town of Cleethorpes. The releases are few and far between, but you won't find us moaning because the quality is always top-notch. Invisible Menders is a low-key but high-quality pair made up of revered DJ Jane Fitz and producer Dom Ahtuam. They cook up a mind-altering piece of deep, supple techno here that takes you on a real cosmic adventure. The SYO mix is a slick and high-speed electro rework while 'Weather Obsessives' (Eversines remix) heads off into the future on turbulent bass and mangled synth lines.
