This is the 200th release on UTTU. So, what to expect? Well, it was the inclusion of Shed that brought me here. Then, on closer scrutiny, I find out that Zoriok is Legowelt, with Yassokiiba being a new name to me. I’ll start with Shed’s remix, as that’s what’s playing right now. Pounding, ambience dampened steam hammers with high frequency electronic squiggles. Then it takes off, meandering over the rave hills until coalescing with its beat. That’s what I expect from Shed so I’m not disappointed. The Yassokiiba Remix

seems to be a dub laid on top of the vestiges of DJ Haus’s ‘O.G. KLUBB Mix’. Everything is slowed down to a very manageable speed, which is nice as its 33 degrees outside right now. I’ve just taken the dog for a walk and we’re both knackered. The Zoriok Compressor Remix is an ingenious symphony of high frequency sonar dynamics underpinned by break beats, that is until it goes off on a tangent, marking for all its worth. The O.G. KLUBB MIX sounds almost conservative by comparison. Which it is, in spite of its heaviness and power. Moreover, not for the first time recently, I’m feeling the Neil Landstrumm influence here. Sort of Relief meets ghetto-tech with a more contemporary veneer.
