After leaving loosey goosey dancers hanging for a few years since their coveted Good Morning Tapes
editions, Full Circle pick up exactly where the ‘Further Knowhere’ mixtape left us in a utopian 3rd place
slipstream. ‘Beyond Knowhere’ pursues a particular late ‘80s/early ‘90s dragon, and in return answers a
certain dancefloor need for music that propels both body and spirit with an effortless sensuality that’s lesser
heard in clubs nowadays.
Perhaps most notably they emphasise the influence of Chris & Cosey over that era in lead ace ‘Odd
Perceptions’ in the lushest whorl of dubbed-out 909, sitar, and overtone singing for 8 minutes practically
guaranteed to trigger sweat and palpatations. If you’re not feeling the frisson by the time of its bassline coda
7 mins deep, you may need to see a doctor.
Chakras aligned, they continue to elevate the senses with the pendulous acid stepper ‘Painting Noise’,
reframing a vocal sample - “take this brother, may it serve you well”, as also found on Major Problems’
Overdose’ - in a tripper early trance-steppers style riding gunky acid bass and head-smashing FX, before
taking it down a gear to the Konders-esque digi-dub chug of ’Sharp Water’, again rubbing Nu Groove
influence with a damn effective, psychedelic steez.[info sheet from distr.]
