REPRESS 2016.. The Bitter End returns with another jaw dropping selection of sonic delights! Keen eyed aficionados may spot the homage to Mel Cherons classic US label West End Records here, but while their motto may have been *Where The Sun Sets & The Stars Rise*, Bitter End Records embarks on a distinctly more 21st century path to dancefloor salvation.
Taking cover behind that fluorescent pink sleeve are a loose collective of artists offering up an empowering glimpse of decadent, strobe-lit abandon in the face of our corporate dominated existence. ‘Turn Around’ picks up where ‘Take It All Away’ left off on EP 1, championing the return of the song, except we’re riding an altogether more hypnotic and stripped back groove, like Maurizio jamming with Bootsy Collins, a relentless and absorbing mantra for moments of sweat soaked abandon ‘Mazy Laws (Inst)’ on the flip deploys a precision rhythm section, some heavyweight voodoo low end machine frequencies, and an irresistible treated vocal hook In it’s vocal form the track defies categorisation, a loosely flung, but tightly sprung workout, riding a dislocated bass line and stretching the song structure to its disorientating, but invigorating ends The Bitter End clearly mean business![info from wa]
