Manchester producer Anz self-titled debut comes at the crest of two years scenewide hype around her breathless brand of UK club music. Also the maiden release from local club night-cum-label Chow Down, the record is as much informed by Anz time as the nights most in-demand resident DJ as by her instincts in the studio.These are tracks shaped by a good few encounters with Manchester s roiling 2 A.M. crowds. This isn t to suggest a uniform sound Anz ear for interplay brings her many influences together in sprawling constellations of style. Jolting to life on the Bassline- and Funky-referencing steel percussion romp Panrico, the record then slows to a half-time 808 lurch on Clanger. The flip sees Loa flex dense polyrhythms and coarse Sublow bass before Fencin brings it home in a final flourish of crystalline synthwork
