making a triumphant return to dance floors world wide, the incomparable plump djs unleash their first official release since 2005. system addict gets proceedings underway with a rumbling clarion bass call. with its central automatic, system addict mantra, the track switches between serrated bass and a gated synth hook, underpinned by some typically plump driving rhythms. flipside doppler sees the plumps going for some serious heads down action. a screaming crescendo drops into techy vocodered riffing before layered percussion builds and builds to devastating effect. this release has become a classic hands in the air plump djs weapon already taking dance floors by storm.

step forward dubfire (aka ali shirazinia from grammy winning dj and production duo deep dish) whos already hit top form this summer with some tasty releases on desolat, funkwelle.net and whose thumping >emissions< features on the minus compilation >expansion contraction<. the beauty of this rework is that it doesnt stray far from the original vibe. dubfire pays the track the full respect it deserves, adding contemporary beats, bass and hat patterns, subliminal efx and tweaks that perfectly compliment the eq sweeps and machine gun snare rolls of the original. panikattack (originally released on plus 8 in 1996 as the b side to sickness) gets a more radical overhaul with guido schneider turning in a typically pragmatic version. by excavating and enhancing the gritty funk that lies buried under the feverish textures of the original, he discovers a totally new dimension. combining the plastik elements with his own trademark swing and razor sharp percussion programming, schneider coaxes the track out of the shadows for some serious peak time action as the bassline bounds forward relentlessly occasionally enveloped by stuttering delays, to negotiate its way through the dubbed out breakdown and on to the end

this ep is the first instalment in a series of four compilation releases that aim to showcase fresh electronic talent in the uk electro/techno scene. scape 1 and bass junkie playlist
