Repress - Stalwart of the scene, Craig Bratley, serves up big Italo flavours all over the 99.9% EP, ably backed with a remix from Mr. Andrew Weatherall. With previous releases on Neil Diablos To Rack & Ruin, Tsuba, Is It Balearic? and Robsoul Recordings, Bratleys Futureboogie debut opens with the searing synths and chugging arped bass of 99.9%. Wide-eyed melodies and punchy drums demand a mirror ball moment to this fabulous cut. Family favourite, Andrew Weatherall, takes the chugging tempo to new depths, remolding 99.9% into a tense, reverb soaked, dubbed out sci-fi encounter. Further explorations into space disco are to be found on Italo Love with luscious waves of thick analogue sound and planetary FX, whilst on Take Me To Bedford Or Lose Me Forever, distinct Asian influences are at play, as Bratley channels his inner Vangelis for a mesmerizing and cinematic piece.
