STARFIST LAZERBEAM / PASSION by 2 AM/FM

Joint release on two fine labels! Two aces from 2 AM/FM aka JTC & D'Marc Cantu who have previously hooked up on Spectral Sound, Nation, Crème Organization and MOS Deep.Interesting collaborative release between MOS Deep and Crème Organization, an idea born on a roadtrip to Paris taken by Aroy Dee & TLR... 'Starfist Lazerbeam' is the first cut and is a slow, purposeful house track run through with a slithering, laser like synth that constantly changes shape. Muffled, filtered vocals are hidden behind and the arpeggiated line eventually lets up and gets a little funky as the icy percussion ticks on. It’s a real pressure-building track with curveball melodies that are as beautiful as they are weird. On the flip, 'Passion' has raw analogue drums, ticking his and trippy melodies all dancing round each other in old school Chicago fashion. A nimble bassline also dances around the mix, bring with it lots of energy, stylish funk and a real sense of playfulness. As always from these great producers, this is a fascinating release.
