FLOOG レコード& CD

Review: Since donning the Floog alias last year, experienced producer George Gavanescu has impressed with a couple of self-released singles, a fine debut on Hoarder and a hook-up with Mahony on The Other Side. His first appearance on Mulen is quietly impressive, too. A-side "O Roata" is impressively energetic, with Gavanescu wrapping attractive flashes of melody and spacey chords around a bustling, all-action groove rich in throbbing bass and chunky drums. Over on side B, "My Acid" is closer in tone to his usual tech-house fare, with subtle TB-303 touches and deep space electronics riding a suitably booming bassline and smooth percussion. Finally, "Lightbulb" is big and bouncy, with snappy snares, liquid electronics and heavy sub-bass catching the ear.
