Air Max '97 breaks ground on his brand new label
DECISIONS with two darkly functional dance floor cuts.
A side 'Core Work' is an oblique polyrhythmic affair aimed
to enrapture the body and mind. A nearly 4/4 kick pulses
under viscous bell loops and bursts of syncopated clicks
and crashes. The result is playful and bewitching, drawing
the listener/dancer through a series of cascading, shifting
grooves.
B side 'Expenditure' is a low-slung extra terrestrial
machine. Described by Ben UFO as 'seriously twisted',
the track sets keenly textured bass in elliptical orbit
around arpeggiated melodies and sharply honed
percussion.
Selected DJ Feedback:
Ben UFO: "Seriously twisted"
Teki Latex: "This is great - Core Work is a dope exercise
in tribal abstraction. Expenditure just bangs and needs a
video with futuristic glass elevator doors closing and
opening."
Taskforce: "Both are certifiable bangers. Definitely will
play these"
M.E.S.H.: "This is great, I've been wanting to play out
loopier and extended takes on this sound but the tracks
are few and far between."
Dro Carey / Tuff Sherm: "I'm really into them both. Such
nice sound design and mixdowns - big release!"
Plastician: "Great stuff! Core Work is absolutely crazy"
DJ Orgasmic: "Both tracks are fire, rhythm patterns are
sick on Core Work, experimental. I like Expenditure a lot
too will play this one for sure, perfect that it is 120bpm."
Bill Kouligas (PAN): "Sounds great! I'll definitely play the
second tune out"
Rushmore: "Expenditure is SICK!"
Tzusing: "Dropped it tonight. Was so good! It's going to be
huge"
Glacial Sound: "Release is sick, really like Expenditure,
definitely one I'll be playing"
DJ Abby: "Oh my god this shit slappppppsssssss !"
BD1982: "I'm loving both of these! Core Work has got a
crazy heads down vibe & the polyrhythmic vortex of
Expenditure is killer. Will be supporting on our radio show
and out for sure."
