Orlando Voorn / Lodig "The Split" Minimal Soul 02
Veto says:
Austrian label Minimal Soul team up with fellow Austrians Pomelo to follow up their successful first release 'School of riddim'...For Minimal Soul, electronic music legend Orlando Voorn contributes an absolute corker of a track, he takes himself back to his electro/techno roots and comes up with 'Slam' - undoubtedly his strongest track for some time. Black Dog doesn't disappoint either, his remix is a study in restraint, and its simple relaxed melody lifts the track into classic territory. On the 'Pomelo side' relative newcomer Lodig obviously has his work cut out, but doesn't let the credentials of the producers that have gone before put him off his stroke! He comes up with a slightly more gnarly techno cut, not exactly heavy, but with that extra bit of dirt that is very satisfying after the clean cut techno funk of the previous two cuts. He then slips into his slightly better known guise of Lok44 to round off the EP nicely with a warm and bleepy minimal techno roller of a remix. Great EP all round!
I say it's a damn fine EP as well, but primarily for the tracks that bookend it. A1 and B2 are what steal the show with their raw appeal. B2 gets special note from me. it's going to be one of those songs that sneaks under the radar of most, but it's rhythmic perfection is undeniable!
