The Day disc is home to deep tech and breaks sounds. Dubby, groovy house tempo, not pounding but definately danceable ... hell I'd be happy with this as my Night selection. The tracks on this disc are bloody wonderful too, The Logic Box starts off proceedings deep and cosmic style but you know you're in for a treat when the hypnotic bleeps of Rhythm Plate cut in over the top of Miguel Plasencia. Nice breaks come from Bushwacka's Plank stable in the form of Marsupial Ten Dances, anyone who's heard Low Life or Night Works should know the kinda perky breaks sound to expect here. Standout track by FAR is Phil's Science - Philemon. Should float the boat of ANY Orbital fan, wondeful Orbital synth stabs set to a wicked driving bassline. Need this track on vinyl for myself. Mixing throughout is grand too, tracks get dropped in perfect locations, melding two tunes together to create a wondeful mash of sounds.
The Night disc ramps up the tempo and toughness stakes in a very Fabric manner. Once again, starts off fairly deep with the sounds of Terry Francis and as soon as the bass of La Pierre Polie kicks in its 'cor blimey guv!' time again! Just brings back memories of grooving at Fabric. Twisted distorted beats, trippy vocals. Old skool Chicago rhythms clash against the mad trippy tech house sound. Again, so many standout tracks, Groove Like This sports a cracking warping bassline, the mad twinkling keys of Kenny Hawkes. The beats are fresh and crispy with a real danceable grit.
Different in ideas to Danny's compilation, equal in sheer quality. Brilliant new series from Global Underground, make sure you get both of them as soon as possible. Best house music in AGES.
