If you like your electro raw and a little bit gnarly, then this is a good double header. Everything by degree though. So it’s probably fair to say that Rico Casazza’s two tracks are a little smoother than DeFeKT’s, in view of their fluidity and flow. ‘Here Home Us’ rolls along and has a pleasing, low end siren wail in the background which tempers it somewhat. ‘Caldo’ is, by comparison. An exercise in suppressed power; a coiled spring that doesn’t quite let go, but threatens to, which is the best part. Big room stuff that’s not “big room” at all. ‘Control Your Mind’ by DeFeKT is dirty robotic funk of the best kind, and making me think of Dynamix ll in rainy suburban Suffolk can never be a bad thing. ‘Fear & Body’ is a little more restrained, but only inasmuch as its pace allows it to be. You can feel it straining at the leash all the way. Vocals are again used flatly and effectively (is there a better way to do this in electro?) and when the flanged white noise comes in, it’s game over. Four of the finest electro groovers right here folks. Get on ‘em!
