DUCKETT 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: The Welsh purveyors of quality electronic grooves known lovingly as Freero are not just content curating one of the world's best festivals dedicated to exceptional music so they started a label. Their third edition of Freerotation Records presents the legendary Anthony Child aka Surgeon with "Unconscious Fearless Determination", certainly a departure from what we're used to but enthralling as always on this esoteric and slow burning exercise in hypnotism. UntilMyHeartStops mainman Duckett presents yet another exercise in utterly sublime deepness on "Breaks My Heart When I Remember That Day"; it doesn't get any more bittersweet and emotive than this. On the flip, label head honcho Steevio serves up some pure form modular techno with "Pendulum" which really captures those ghosts in the machine, while other core member Tom Ellis delivers the dreamy and immersive ambient house of "As A Take".

Review: Tom & Duckett live in north Wales in the UK. They have been producing their blend of deep techno from an early age and although Tom is only 23 years old, it's immediately apparent where their musical mindset is. They are great advocates of live analogue music and you can hear a wealth of knowledge, both musically and production wise, in these tracks. The title track 'climate flu' is a beautiful melodic structure that stays with you, rapped around subtle swung percussion and contra melody that, although deep, still maintains enough intensity to hold a dancefloor.

Review: Tom Demac & Duckett from Wales in the UK worked hard at providing us incredibly deep and swinging groovy materials. Best know for their release on Electronic Audio, the Tom Demac owned imprint, the duo present here some darker tinted than usual materials. Swing and shuffle is a defacto ingredient in Tom & Duckett's dance alchemy and we just ask for more! "Unnecessary Cosmetics" rattles and shakes as it should, a deep tech house monster that appeals to straight dancing for sure. Tiny details, percussive shots that definitely have this human touch and finally that freaky clubby bassline that hit you're head for good. Brilliant! "Sumtimes" has weird pads, shuffled to heaven percussion sounds straight out of Mars, rattling & shaking minimalism. Subtly added arrangements, very clever dosage of darkness dancefloor action. "Sumtimes" is contemporary modern minimalism. "24th Avenue" is a darker deep minimal exploration here, full of underground sound actions and experiments. All never loosing the obvious goal of getting you on the floor. Tiny and effected to death vocals that add to the duo's bizarre twistery. Again a deep minimal track full of what we're after, groove and experimentation!
