Nice Price Deal !!! The eighth release on their self-titled label sees Compound One step out of the darkened lab to take time out from their usual techy experiments and head straight for the raveË A hugely diverse release that has been played across the board by DJs such as Mista Jam, MJ Cole and Brendon Moeller. As featured by Zero T on his recent Fabric Live 52 mix Pum Pum Beat gets its peculiar name from the rhythm of the kicks and snares rather than what people seem to think! The highly swung beats and quirky percussion form a backbone for a bassline that is hard to resist. Emotional Detroit style stabs complete the picture and the breakdown will have your hands in the air! Carrying on with the emo vibes of this release, Back Off sees the duo go right back to their roots with an early UK 2-step garage inspired number. Trademark Qualifide vocal cut ups and Fracture breakbeats come together to form the groove. Once again, the breakdown is pure hands in the air.
