legendary producer and archivist of underground dance music in all it's raw and basic forms, chrissy murderbot's first album for planet mu is a collection of tracks that should come with the warning 'be prepared to sweat'. the last few years have seen chrissy working hard on the optimum formula for getting down and having non-stop fun. 'women's studies' is an album of party starting, populist mutations with vocal contributions from dancehall emcees mc zulu, rubi dan and warrior queen, plus rappers popeye, coool dundee and johnny moog. it's made with a brazen and unashamed love for dance music, mixing energetic tropes into a sticky tropical punch, and the influence of ghetto house and juke from his home of chicago hangs heavy. from the off, things get fleet-footed on 'break you off' with it's night-time atmosphere built from rhodes chord progressions and sexy vocals over tight, subtle rolling footwork drums and bass; it's like a 160bpm musical massage. 'bussin down' continues the footwork influence with a sped-up grooving funk sample, over which dj spinn gives the orders. the seesawing bassline and 8-bit melody of 'heavy butt' gets the message across loud and clear, while the impressionist footwork of 'jiggle' is probably the most jiggling piece of music ever recorded. other tracks such as 'new juke swing' mix crunchy drums of the kind you might find on a teddy riley production with a bassline of an early grime record while rubi dan acts as master of ceremonies.
