Baobinga & Hyetal
ANYTHING FOR NOW
12 Inch
We kick off 2011 with the latest collaborative plate of Bristol-based Build badness – label boss Baobinga cooking up two what-do-you-call-it tracks with one of 2010s breakthrough producers, the man they call Hyetal. Starting 2010 with a huge Punch Drunk release alongside Shortstuff, Hyetal further refined his sound through collaborations with Peverelist, and the massive Prince-tastic anthem >Phoenix< on Orca – which can be found sitting proudly at number 36 in FACT Magazines Tracks Of The Year run-down. With some big releases due in 2011, and more Velour beats (with Julio Bashmore) on the way, we are very excited to have him involved in a Build release.
The A side here, ‘Anything For Now’, is a perfect example of when collaborations work perfectly – and finished every set of Ginz’s recent US tour to rapturous response. Through the course of an ever-evolving arrangement, tough dancefloor drums drive epic synth lines and melodies forward to a point of ecstatic release, all tied together with powerful sub-bass and a staggering level of detail.Meanwhile, the AA, ‘Trouble’, could almost be dancehall from alpha-centuri, as again, a cornucopia of glistening chords, synthetic steel drums and swaggering, swinging drums proper the dancefloor through spiky, bruising bass-weight punches. As a staple of both producers’ sets, ‘Trouble’ has been shown to do the business without ever resorting to cliche.[build005_info from st]
