full drumming, a grumpy chord sound embraced from a dark, rebelling melody line like out of the old rave days and the demanding voice from the massive track internal, which calls the >soldier< with his name. remixer rolf mulder mills with darkly digging sequences and creaky acid effects sharp edged points in the sole of the dancers, so that these also find enough hold on the slant melodies. >skydive< makes in the matter of grooving also thick cheeks. the track rumbles more and more elegantly than stoic through the space and pulls from the propulsive combination of the vocal-hookline and the harmony changes a well-arranged serving of pop flair which cuts the darkness of the night with a flashing blade from light. toureaus impact version of >skydive< serves 8-bit like clicking in the treble area, swears to the rhythmical spirit of the good old days and asks him for a bouncing dance on the floors in the here and now.

welcome to the world of mysterious organist & producer dan electro. dan electro is a charming guy who lives very far away from the sytem of babylon. his music is out of time... it carries the reminiscence of a time when people played music simply for the love of it... his touch is magnetic, mystical and inspired. dan electro musics really got soul. but the man has a complex background... for a long time, he played bass for the slow slushy boys, a band that still performs today one of the best rooted rythm & blues around the world. dan electro finds a great part of his inspiration within the universe of geniuses like louis jordan, eddie kirk, the five royales and the barefoot gospel divas sister rosetta tharpe or winona carr... and he is still involved in music that talks to both your ass and your soul... with a preference for the first !
the lucky discovery of farley jackmaster funks >fix me< revealed dan electro the connections between black music at its core roots and contemporary house music. shortly after, he started producing some amazing tunes that felt like love affairs between old church organs and mad computers... sung by ageless preachers & divas. his music has been played by djs such as gilles peterson, joey negro, sumo, recloose, dj morpheus, spiritual south, nick v, michael rutten, rainer truby, nik weston, unabombers, erik rug, philarmonix, patchworks, stevie sole... radios as bbc 1, frequence jazz, xfm scotland, radio fg, compost radioshow... enjoy !

itÆs been a couple of years since victim last released a full 12, but just like the buses you wait that long and then two come along at once. for victim, the >off piste< 12 follows hot on the heels of their split 12 with jerome hill & dont recordings. in the case of ben pest, they are coming thick and fast at the moment, with a recent release on lukes angers bonus round label, and an upcoming 12 on the seriously deranged panic bridge label. so, all in all a busy few months. as for the tracks, they all share in common a seriously weighty bottom end, and a tendency for crunchy acidic midsàbut that is kinda where the similarities end, as ben takes the opportunity to explore various avenues off the main street of techno. from the stomping acid workout of >zeedonk< to the more electro-influenced beats of >pain n gain< this is a record that covers a fair few bases (basses?), although all with the aim of thrilling a crowd that enjoys their techno on the gnarly side.
