Z Records return with a very strong double-sider from Mr Dave Lee under his Z Factor guise.Starting out with Makes You Crazy which is (believe it or not) a housed up rework of an old rave number from back in the early 90's.

Echoing rhodes, gated pads and acid squelches alternate over a big old school techno bassline. Throw in a catchy vocal, a slammin' crisp drum groove and you've got an instant floor filler.

Second but not second best is the techy drums based The Piano Principle , which starts off in quite a deep pulsating groove before busting into a big piano riff and then a long Marshall Jefferson style piano solo. Definitely rousing slice of pure house music...

Both tracks come with more stripped down Rave and Moog dubs
