Where Is the Party At? Well, def in Iceland as far as we are concerned! We welcome the splendid Moff & Tarkin to our label family with this dope and energetic release. The Icelandic artist currently based in Vienna dropped us these fine tunes and we just couldn’t resist. Hard hitting acid/breakbeat rave-y house anthems! And adding longtime companion and friend Felix Leifur as a bonus on this release means Double trouble!
The driving opening track “Dry Paint” is a proper belter, a mix of old school acid house/techno with really catchy vocal samples, propelling any dance floor into oblivion. The party is certainly started here! Moff & Tarkin says: “There are a lot of acid + drum machine jams out there and I wanted to do my own, feel like I never did one. This was the outcome. Will buy anyone a Poke bowl who spots the sample.”
Onwards to the beautifully laidback yet also very rave-y breakbeat jam that is “Boyhood”. Moff & Tarkin says: Meant to be a breaky rave track, ended up being something else. You might be able to rave to it (is that a saying?) but you might also just be able to take a walk.
“Show Up!” is taking the pace a step further down again and brings us back to a more old school Hip Hop 90s vibe, a strange yet great mixture of styles in this one, you have that nasty acid-y sound and those trance-y arpeggio stabs on top of a solid breakbeat.
Moff & Tarkin says: This track features a sample that I had been thinking about using for years. Mentioned it to my friend when we were bowling, it was a Saturday night which meant it was disco bowling, which I think means they have disco lights and play bad music. Anyways I bowled a few games then I got home and started working on this track. The sample is not the one you think it is.
Closing out with the ever-brilliant Felix Leifur on remix duties. Well what can we say? been far too long we have heard new music from this guy! He takes on “Dry Paint” in his signature nasty way. Pushing the limits and adding hard hitting acid sounds and in the middle of the track turning the whole thing into a real breakbeat frenzy! We love this version so much! Happy to have Felix back with such a strong offering! Play these ones out loud! With a BANG!
