It's rare that you'll hear Luciano bringing order to the proceedings of just
about anything, but that's exactly what happens on Family EP, if Mirko Loko's
solo flipside excursion is to be believed. "Mousa Big Band," the collaboration
between the Cadenza label head and the former Ripperton collaborator is clamped
down by a stolid beat that gives ample room for gargling vocal samples, laughter
and general tomfoolery for its nine minute runtime. Generally unremarkable,
"Mousa Big Band" sounds like mix filler - albeit filler with more personality
than 90% of anything you might term minimal techno. Mirko Loko's been quiet on
the production front after the dissolution of Lazy Fat People and, if these are
the results of an extended hibernation, that's fine by me. "Liah" somehow makes
vibrating bells sound like the most interesting thing in the world for four
minutes before a synth cuts through and seemingly takes the track elsewhere. But
soon enough those bells begin to reappear (now in responsible, normal patterns)
and the synth fades away into the distance, as though it were a mirage the
entire time. Wispy, loose and dream-like, it's a track that justifies the wait
for Loko's debut solo production. "Serena", on the other hand, is a bit tighter
- but certainly not as pumping as "Mousa Big Band" - and goes for the uplift
sooner. As a synth squeezes a melody out in between lengthy string chords, you
can't help but wonder who the hell this Serena is and what she did to
(presumably) inspire this delicacy from a guy who once called himself a Lazy Fat
Person.
Includes the Mirko Loko's digital exclusive "Chatbeat" track. Enjoy the complete
release!
