If this item in stock, then you will get an infomation E-Mail!DVA started off Hyperdubs barrage of albums in 2012 with his brilliant >Pretty Ugly<, and now closes the the year with the >Fly Juice< EPs bumper selection of machine tooled tracks, each created for optimum dancefloor damage and road tested by DVA, Kode9 and a select bunch of DJs. These tracks are a brilliant example of what he has been describing as power house for a while, a colourful chunky techno sound that switches up every 8 bars like grime and has plenty of shuffle and offbeat swing as a counterpoint to the 4/4 drums.
‘Fly Juice’ opens with sweet jazz funk Rhodes before dropping into weightless bouncey chopped vocals and stuttering drums building through 8 bar patterns - with the Rhodes as a sweetner, it’s bliss! ‘Do It’ runs a stuttering voice, a huge deep bassline and relentless building stabs against shuffling drums. On ‘Walk it Out’, the repetition of the title over a pummelling two note melody is positively dumb, but pitched against swirling effects and whooshing chords the effect is epic. ‘Long Street’ features a collaboration with South African producer Big Space, and echoes the sound of early UK bleep and bass with a stern melody, breaking down into swirling Detroit-like chords, while shuffling along on a crisp, scissoring rhythm. After the sweet and sour songfulness of his album ‘Pretty Ugly’, the ‘Fly Juice’ EP shows DVA returning to his dancefloor roots. As an amazing DJ/producer, you can expect more of this in 2013.
