Hot Damn editorial meetings often descend into heated shouting matches about a perceived lack of techno coverage on these pages (on that note, anyone fancy a cuppa?).
Such concerns are utter nonsense of course - we love dipping out toes in the deep end of the techno pool. Time then, to devote some page space to London-based producer Confetti Bomb, who has just dropped a three track EP on his own Autoreply imprint. The fledgling label has already released material from some heavy house/techno artillery – Baby Ford, Jerome Sydenham and Ed Davenport etc etc.
I’m not sure if title track “MDMemily” is more suited to a peak time floor or an after hours hide-out – which probably means it will do just fine at both. It’s dark and spooky, with a nice metallic thud. Next up is “Fladdermus”, which some light internet sleuthing revealed is Swedish for ‘bat’. Coming in with a slightly more subdued beat than “MDMemily”, this fits snugly into the category marked ‘slow burner’. And just went you’ve been lulled into submission, in comes a cavernous, echoing drop.
“Panic in Room 2”, I am reliably informed, was written with the sound system of a certain London clubbing institution in mind. It’s deep, brooding, dark and clunky – in other words, exactly what one wants to hear at stupid o’clock in Farringdon.
