vladislav delays ep >espoo< features two new conceptual, rhythm-intense tracks. whereas the groove of the opener >olari< derives from a sound loop which is manipulated by filters and echoes and finally brings forth the intensifying beat, the reverse is done with >kolari< on the b-side. starting from an impulsive, staccato beat, a sound carpet is woven by means of modifiers which gradually shape a permanent vacation-like melody, close to terry rileys minimalistic concepts. both tracks share a linear increase in density, and because of their break with the common four-four time, they create a certain folkloric atmosphere. like with >vantaa<, the experienced music producer vladislav delay continues his search for dance-floor compatible, yet unique and fresh music.

full pupp helps another new outfit into the saddle. even though esteemed norwegian dj ole martin vilberg aka omar v and robin craaford, one half of dance disorder with baby g (bpitch, eskimo) are hardly young guns, they gang up together for the first time on complete: a blinding cut that harks back to the time with good ol jack was still the young buck and closely associated with uncle electro funk: tough beats, hyperactive claps, a jittering bass and a catchy, squeaking melody are still rattling bones if masterfully pieced together as it is done here. the guy most closely related to the italo sound out of the whole norwegian disco bunch chucks the more intricate original rhythm but goes hypertechnicolor and widescreen on the synth parts boosting up the originals melody, throwing in a nod to happy station and a hi-energy bassline.

following the war cry of their fi rst single >speeddance<,reptile youth return with another sublime 7inch for hfn music.the second single taken from their upcoming album >black swan born white< sees the youth expand their sound towards a grandiose post-punk pop. already a live favourite at their increasingly intense gigs, mads damsgaard kristiansen vocals soar above the funk-driven robo-rhythm, while an instantly addictive melody references their newwave roots.on the b side, londons futuristic psychedelic no-wavers s.c.u.m provide a remix that drenches the vocals in waves of reverb and suspense, before the track explodes into a churning power riff.

producer, dj and post-production engineer stepan chernov (aka kammerton) can safely be named a musical multitalent. stepan has pianist and kapellmeister degrees and already collaborated with numerous live bands and projects. his serpentine ep is a fresh breath of detroit influenced house with spacious dub synthlines and mesmerizing groove. the title tune >serpentine< is a slow burner and sets the tone for the record with dreamy synth progressions, discreetly jazzy keys, squelched chords and solid 4/4 rhythm. while >mistress < is an intuitively constructed dub-house killer, the kind of ever-morphing detroit stabs makes this ep irresistible. >winergy< concludes the serpentine journey from moscow to detroit and traps you in the subtly intricate and hypnotic groove of that new wave of russian deep

on >work that shit party<, a fingers inc. style rhythm buttresses a two-note riff, a crackling male voice filtering in from the ether. a pinging keyboard zips around before that two-note flicker expands and contracts, warps and wheedles. but around halfway in, a female vocal refrain of >gonna work it out< breaks fat lacerations into pinholes, blaring keyboards seeping in through the gaps and crevices. then, as with >d117<, it is the congealing of all these disparate elements: a work it out from fischerspooners lizzy yoder sashaying with the two-note riff, the keyboards bouncing off the ceiling, and flaring hi-hats fraying the surface played by pat mahoney (lcd soundsystem). each portion is given its due, only to make the ensuing combination that much more enthralling.
