Hooversound Recordings レコード& CD

Review: Dance death-harbinger Drumskull's latest EP, 'Muscle Memory,' weaves a hypnotic tapestry of sound that builds on the artist's dual sonic and audiovisual artistry. Uniquely combining the quite far-flung-from-each-other genres of footwork, jungle and deep house; this is an unusual EP that draws on everything from the scratchiest oldskool rave tropes to more modern dance approaches. It's no surprise we hear a rare, rhythmically swaying, and ecstatic remix from Lone on the B, not to mention a grime curveball version from maestro LMajor.

Review: We are gathered here today to celebrate the holy matrimony of our souls with the dancefloor. United by a 'Love So True' for reaching for the lasers, leaping around like a fool and grinning like a cat who hasn't just got the cream but owns an entire cream conglomerate... We shall never be parted. Certainly not as long as Prayer continues to make music like this. Stunning, undiluted rave sounds with all the twinkles and rushes we've inherited from our 90s ancestors, this vinyl version of his 2022 release contains a whole new testament of cuts. Joining the stompy 'Reflection', the dreamy 'More Than I Could', the uncut rave gospel of 'Take It Easy' and 'A Love So True' are four more belters such as the triumphant 'Love Fantasy' and the emotional 'No One left'. Elevating the original EP into more of a mini album, this is an outstanding dispatch from the Hooversound crew.
