Real Gang 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: Soon, Real Gang Records founder Danny Miller will release a fine joint EP with long-serving West Coast tech-house hero Jay Tripwire. First, though, there's the small matter of this solo three-tracker, whose title - Dracula - references an alternative productive alias last used in 2021. He doffs a cap to hip-house on the devilishly bass-heavy and deliciously driving A-side, 'The Ways Are Mystic', which sounds like his usual brand of after-hours tech-house on steroids. Miller then reaches for creepy spoken word samples from vintage moves on flip-side opener 'F*ck The Future', whose bumpin' beats and bassline come cloaked in unsettling chords and minor-key electronics, before showcasing rumbling 'dark garage' bass, skipping beats and wonky noises aplenty on closing cut 'Groove Hammer'.

Review: Miller's Symphonia EP offers a dynamic blend of minimal and tech house sounds. The A-side opens with 'Its Within Patience,' a driving track featuring a hypnotic sub bassline, crisp percussion, and a deep dancefloor groove. 'Symphonia' follows with a jazzy vibe, showcasing a captivating rhythm and catchy melody. The B-side features a remix of "Symphonia" by Priku, transforming the track into a more subdued minimal groove with a dub-infused ambiance. Overall, this EP showcases Miller's versatility within the minimal and tech house genres, providing a range of tracks that cater to different dancefloor preferences.
