LOT49046 : MEAT KATIE & DYLAN RHYMES E.P

Label bosses Mark Pember and Marvin Beaver join forces to produce this eponymously titled EP, their first full collaborative single since the release of 2002s Moist on the seminal Whole Nine Yards imprint.

Roll Player, the first of the two original cuts that feature on the release, is a piece of superb bass driven techno. Tight drums and off kilter electronic riffs produce a hypnotic effect and the simple but highly effective arrangement draws you deeper down the rabbit hole with every bar. The original also comes with a big and bold breaks remix from production duo Specimen A, who ramp up the volume and press home with distorted synth lines and swirling FX. Epic stuff.

Second of the MK and DR originals comes in the shape of Long Acre, a pulsating and techy cut built around a tough repetitive groove. Its attention grabbing main riff is ballsy enough get any dancefloor moving yet the track retains a deep and underground vibe from beginning to end. This is a brilliant piece of techno from these two musical heavyweights.

The remixes for Long Player are provided by Mike Hulme of Introspective fame, who delivers a great piece of pacey Moroder-esque warehouse techno and Dylan Rhymes who gets to grips with his own creation, turning in an excellent re-edit that stays true to the original.

Carl Cox: Another good release here from Lot49. Mike Hulmes remix of Long Acre is the winner here. Like the original of Roll Player too.

Laurent Garnier: good pumping tunes for kicking the shit out of the crowd, this works for me

LOT49047: PABLO DECODER E.P


Following on from recent successes with Dopamine, Dylan Rhymes and James Cocozza we saw fit to unleash this outstanding E.P from the much lauded Pablo Decoder.

The EP features 3 original cuts from Decoder of superb glitchy techno and tech house. The first of these is High Bolt, an intense bumpin house cut with syncopated synth lines and tough electronic edge. The warm rolling bassline holds the whole thing together perfectly, creating a track that is bound to set dancefloors alight.

following on from High Bolt we have the no nonsense techno stylings of Turbo, a cut that certainly manages to live up to its name. Throbbing bass and pounding drums lay the groundwork for a twisted full frontal assault of edgy twisted riffs and an arrangement full of brilliantly executed drops and lifts.

Last but not least Zurich Boys - a ballsy record that marries techno sounds with electro sensibilities to excellent effect. This is a great track and a superb partner for the proceeding 2 cuts.

M8 Magazine: Solid gold bomb to ignite the club M7/M8

IDJ: Intense bumping house

Plump DJs: Larrrge

Available at Beatport and other reputable outlets from Monday
