INV010 - VARIOUS ARTISTS - SPECIES 1 (Snippets)

teasers / snippets / previews / upcoming releases / my shopping list

The second Lobster Theremin white label comes from the mysterious Australian producer, Daze. Making his release debut with four original tracks, Daze covers varying strains of tough melodic house, ferocious acid and old school breakbeat, taking us on an experiential journey into the heart of British rave culture via Detroit-influenced electro and rough and ready tape jams. 

Opening with an overdriven call to action, Drag Ball traverses the lines between synth-driven house and scorched techno, pulsating with cracked clap-snare derivatives and soothing yet slightly paranoid Juno lines. 

Untitled signals the beginning of the generally classic slant of the EP, channeling hair-raising acid lines under some crunchy electro drum programming. But it's the soaring synths that set it apart, floating aloft the bubbling madness below. 

On the flip there are two mixes of title track Lips.. The '94 Original DAT Dub having been culled raw from the source providing a deeper and less immediate take on an euphoric modern classic. The revised '07 Skyline Mix sees the mix brightened and pumped up for serious systems, with the extra-layered pads making that euphoric mid-section feel like ten pills rather than two.

Samo DJ & Maxxxbass - SNAKER 008

Joining the X-Kalay roster for his debut EP, Slim Steve delivers four impressive cuts of infectious, lust infused house. Produced on an array of hardware in Steve’s bedroom in Rome, this is a refreshingly honest EP and takes the label into somewhat nostalgic territory. 

90’s ballads meet sampled italo percussion, skittish pitched up vocals pierce dangerous basslines and lung busting breakdowns give way to searching lasers in smoke filled rooms. English born Italian Steve Langrish accomplishes all this with a level of effortlessness that belies his astonishingly young years. 

An impressive debut for sure. Watch this space – Slim’s comin!
