The Brunette vinyl

Mistress Recordings offer up the brown-haired division of their three-pronged various artists series, giving airtime to an equally unfamiliar but utterly deserving cast of characters. Compared to The Blonde, there's an even greater sense of experimentation going on with these four tracks as Ombossa whips up an uneasy blend of lingering piano notes and muffled thud before Jerome Baker delivers a startling uptempo workout that moves with the delicacy of a ballerina. Juxta Position is happier revelling in a slow and sleazy vat of acid, and then Discrete Circuit switches the mood for a stomping big room techno burner.
