if you have ever heard a crunching roland system 100 bass line ringing in your ears at 5.00am in the morning, there is a good chance that it has been written by andy meecham. whether as emperor machine, sir drew, chicken lips or even bizarre inc his music rolls and waves in incredible ways and sheds light on all the probable combinations of familiar sounds. morning banger is certainly a hot potato! upon the first listen you are hooked in with the slightly aggressive korg delta drawing you in. the track builds and builds into a crescendo of beautiful tension and before you know it your brain is eagerly awaiting the next step of the journey.

vanguard sound is back with its newest record. chris mitchells phrenetic ep is vanguard sounds second release. coming on the heels of the wildly popular vanguard sound vol. 3, this ep continues to uphold the aesthetic created with the first release, while simultaneously expanding it. the phrenetic ep features four tracks from the mind and studio of a quickly rising north american talent that all walk the fine line between house and techno. all are very complex rhythmically, with both banging drums, and lush tones. a perfect 3 way marriage of classic chicago, detroit, and new york vibrations, the record contains set peaks, as well as transitional tracks that allow djs to traverse from house to techno and back. already receiving massive amounts of positive feedback, this ep is proving to be a more than worthy follow up to vs001.
