Down To The Ground - DJ Linus (Nordic Trax)
Title: Down To The Ground
Artist: DJ Linus
Label: Nordic Trax
Cat Number: NT117
Genre: Deep House
1: It’s All Good
2: It’s All Good (Dub Version)
3: Down To The Ground
4: Bavarian Stomper
I’ve still got my copy of ‘Who Stole The Soul’ by the artist still known as the one who makes me think of Peanuts. And this is his first release for what looks like ten years. It’s not bad either. ‘It’s All Good’ is an uplifting, funky vocal track that builds and more stamina than Mo Farah. The dub dispenses with the main vocal and brings the disco dissonance into sharper focus. ‘Down To The Ground’ is an understated, off key shuffler that remains largely in the sonic shadows, it’s a subtle exercise in restraint and has similar constituents to ‘It’s All Good’. The best has been saved until last though, with ‘Bavarian Stomper’ turning out to be a very capable piece of italo disco that’s crying out for a camp as fuck vocal. A good return to the fray from DJ Linus then.

Entheogen EP - Jabru (Of Unsound Mind)
Title: Entheogen EP
Artist: Jabru
Label: Of Unsound Mind
Cat Number: OFUNSOUNDMIND096
Genre: Break Beats, etc
1: Entheogen
2: Jem
3: Shelter
Well, this comes out swinging its bollocks from up on high. ‘Entheogen’ fairly bounces along on high octane batacuda beats. ‘Jem’ shows a lighter touch, using breaks and a dubbed-out vocal fug underpinned by a piano to enable much shape throwing. ‘Shelter’ is probably the most subtle of the three, with its organic, almost aquatic percussion supported by a pervasive low end that comes in and out of focus. The title track apparently references Capricorn’s ‘20HZ’, something which is noticeable in the percussion department, and the general tranced out ambience it deploys. And the whole EP is a vibe which is way greater than the sum of its very special parts.
