XXX - Current Obsession (Butter Sessions)



Title: XXX
Artist: Current Obsession
Label: Butter Sessions
Cat Number: BSR027
Genre: Breaks/Electro/Acid

A1: Drop Down
A2: Flipp It
B1: Reverse It
B2: Drop Down (Reptant’s Lizard Tech Remix)

This is “The by-product of Roza Terenzi’s signature sound fused with Furious Frank’s acid fanaticism” according to the press release. Well, I woudn’t know about that. It’s pretty freaky though. ‘Drop Down’ is a transcendent piece of full-bodied club tackle which rides the crest of an impulsive wave, drifting in and out of a parallel consciousness. Reptant’s ‘Lizard Tech Remix’ is stripped down  by comparison, and a different beast altogether; urgent, scatty but lacking the original’s depth. A similar type of momentum comes across in ‘Reverse It’, but the bass is sensurround. ‘Flipp It’ breaks new ground in the electro/breaks/disembodied voices fusion stakes and adds to the impression that the four tracks on this release embody a very fertile area of sonic cross-pollination indeed.
