[Notes]
Umek & Mike Vale Chosen EP Great Stuff Recordings Slovenian electronica
ambassador Umek's transformation from purveyor or thrashing, chunky techno
to overlord of chunky, tech-meets-house grooves wasn't what people were
necessarily expecting of him 2 but as ever, he's continued to deliver the
goods on a consistent basis. Mike Vale has popped up on Great Stuff before,
with his track Pretty Woman cropping up on the Munich Disco Tech series and
his remix of Pleasurekraft's Anubis going down a storm not so long ago. Umek
signed his track Rising Up to his own 1605 Recordings imprint last year, and
this new release sees the duo in fine form. Chosen is light of touch, plump
of bass and full of swing, offbeat tech chords sashaying in tandem with the
bottom end while cheeky little snare fills keep the rhythm section ticking
over. Kids With Money is a seriously cool cut, wiggling, weaving and bobbing
all over the place to keep the listener on their toes. Infectious percussive
tapestries are woven around a low-down , chugging b-line, with jazzy
percussion and big effects sassing up the breakdown. A remix of Kids With
Money from the infallible Ant Brooks completes the package, with more of a
twisted, maniacal glint in its eye that harks back to Umek's musical past.
If you survive the enormous breakdown, you'll be rewarded with some full-on,
face-smashing techno lashing. Not one for the weak-bladdered.
