with their feet firmly positioned on dutch soil, the heads and hearts of dam swindle are nonetheless rooted deep into the soul of the motor city, and this ep of finely crafted grooves on jimmy posters and huxleys fledgling saints & sonnets imprint is as brilliant a reflection of their obsession as you could expect. >the wrap around< combines a killer vocal hook with a silky line, but its the bassline that marks it out, coming in with a thudding bassline that twists itself into all manner of unfiltered goodness at the halfway point. >pain tomorrow< meanwhile prefers to let its skipping percussion do the talking with a bumping chord led groove that would put mcde to shame. the ep is rounded off with a killer remix of the title track from deleusions of grandeurs pattern select, turning in a sparse reworking which transforms the light original into a throbbing piece of basement house.
recently supporting the aforementioned marina & the diamonds, spark brings a healthy dose of pop to the indie scene, with her dancefloor cuts sparkling in a world full of dour, face to the floor guitar bands. her songs touch base with everyone thats made great pop in recent years - we are hearing splashes of la roux and the ting tings, and all powered along with some wonderful production that chooses subtlety over in-yer-face plug-in hell, unlike most shitty chart toss of the moment. this is a very special single from a big tip for 2011!
the mysterious electric man with a 10min+ slab of driving freestyle analogue wobblyness underpinned with a fat 808 electro beat. a body hypnotic trip for those who like to groove
