Fly Juice Ep

'fly juice' features a bumper selection of machine tooled tracks, each created for optimum dancefloor damage and road tested by dva, kode9 and a select bunch of djs. these tracks (four on the double-pack vinyl) are a brilliant example of what he's been describing as 'power house' for a while, a colourful chunky techno sound that switches up every 8 bars like grime and has plenty of shuffle and offbeat swing as a counterpoint to the 4/4 drums. 'fly juice' opens with sweet jazz funk rhodes before dropping into weightless bouncey chopped vocals and stuttering drums building through 8 bar patterns - with the rhodes as a sweetner, it's bliss! 'do it' runs a stuttering voice, a huge deep bassline and relentless building stabs against shuffling drums. on 'walk it out', the repetition of the title over a pummelling two note melody is positively dumb, but pitched against swirling effects and whooshing chords the effect is epic. 'long street' features a collaboration with south african producer big space, and echoes the sound of early uk bleep and bass with a stern melody, breaking down into swirling detroit-like chords, while shuffling along on a crisp, scissoring rhythm.
