Taste Not Waste レコード& CD

Review: The unstoppable Steve O'Sullivan brings more of his irresistible dub techno goodness to this heavyweight 12" for Taste Not Waste. By now you will be familiar with the sort of sound Steve deals in but somehow it never seems to get old. This one kicks off with a tight and tech-infused roller with clipped kicks and playful chords that bring feel-good vibes. 'Awakening' then has pinging kicks and vamping chords to enliven any floor and last of all is 'The Feels'. It's another perfectly executed club cut with oodles of warm bass and super smooth grooves.

Review: Fresh from delivering a mid-90s progressive house and acid-inspired EP on AiMED, former Rawax contributor Alex Pervukhin makes his bow on Taste Not Waste. The Ukrainian is in fine form from the word go, opening proceedings via the classic Chicago house bass, 21st century tech-house beats, mid-90s breakbeat blasts and spacey synth riffs of 'Intergalactical'. He opts for a deeper and dreamier - but no less stargazing - sound on sumptuous early morning house shuffler 'Wright Right', before cannily combining chunky bass, enveloping pads, creepy lead lines and crispy machine drums on EP highlight 'U Kool'. He continues to swim in deep musical waters on the EP's closing track, an undeniably attractive fusion of dub house, deep house and tech-house entitled 'More Morening'.
