A thrilling collage of rough, jacking US House rooted jams, Mistress 13's attraction thrives from the combination of analog rhythms and catchy melody figures revealing Frag Maddin's soft spot for erratic contrasts. From swinging 909 drums that glide into funky synth sounds and hypnotic vocal cuts to reverberated chord progressions accompanied by bouncing bass-lines to more refined arrangements oscillating between techno and house — Mistress 13 not only has some serious muscle for the dancefloor injection, Frag Maddin also knows how to maintain the tension between emotional vibes and narrative slices.[info sheet from distr.]
