David Harrow and Hugo Nicolson are both celebrated, veteran producers. They are also old friends. Harrow first found fame in the early 1980s working with the post-punk poet, Anne Clark. Collaborating on huge, global hits such as 'Sleeper In Metropolis' and 'Our Darkness'. Tunes that were heavily rotated in the nightclubs of Detroit and Chicago, and would go on to influence the development of house and techno.
Nicolson started his career in the late '80s as a tape op, at London's Townhouse Studios. Finding his feet programming and engineering for Julian Cope and on Happy Mondays' zeitgeist-grabbing 'Rave On'. Tracks from that E.P. were remixed for dance floors by 'Balearic Beat' DJs Terry Farley, Paul Oakenfold and Andrew Weatherall, and it was with Weatherall that Nicolson made his biggest musical mark. 'Ably assisting' the DJ on a series of wildly inventive remixes and co-producing Primal Scream's Mercury Music Prize winning album, 'Screamadelica'.
'Revolvalution is their first joint release and in its original mix the track is a tearaway shot of sampledelia. Frenetic, frantic, full of sped-up fractured vocal fragments and shooting star sound effects. Riding racing snares and busy, buzzing arpeggios. Like Giorgio Morroder on Heisenberg's blue meth. Peppered, fizzing and popping with prancing pretty chimes, party shouts, laser blasts and trippy glissandi, it breaks down for a brief breather before banging into a galloping TB-303 groove.
