Alternate Facts 002 - V/A (Alternate Facts)

 


Title: Alternate Facts 002 

Artist: Various Artists

Label: Alternate Facts 

Cat Number: AF002

Genre: Groovy Rollers


1: Puma Print – Thoma Bulwer

2: Incidental – Dexter Kane

3: Gutter Jazz – Dexter Kane

4: Scruffy Notes – Thoma Bulwer & Voightmann


A double header split 50/50 between Thoma Bulwer and Dexter Kane with a Voightmann – shaped cherry on the top; the second release on Alternate Facts is a very satisfying one. Dexter Kane’s contributions are solid, bass-heavy skippy and energetic in only the way good house/speed garage crossovers can be and, although they are composed of similar elements, still manage to maintain a  reasonable degree of distinction. Lovely feel and warm production wins the day and the vitality of each track ensures one is thoroughly endeared however. ‘Puma Print’ blends a sparse kick which inhabits various frequencies with minimal acid, and ‘Scruffy Notes’ is a cylindrical rave drive through the metaphorical early hours.
