Wild Cats EP vinyl

Having debuted with a fine release on Rush Hour, unassuming Australian siblings The Carter Brothers return with their second release that ably demonstrates they have plenty more incendiary house material in their arsenal. The Wild Cats EP marks a further tick of approval for Monty Luke's fledgling Black Catalogue imprint too, containing at least one certified heater in the shape of "I Didn't Need You" which essentially drags a hypnotic vocal hook through the blender of chunky house music dynamics - all pulsating, fizzing rhythms, snapping granite beats and gut worrying bass. Alongside it, the title track is laser driven, expansive deepness at its most refined, demonstrating the duo can drop the energy levels down a notch and present something more atmospheric. "Run" is more twisting, jacking body music, bending an effervescent vocal stab around constantly filtered leads and funked out rhythms, whilst "No Caller ID" switches up their sound yet again for some spinal, stripped down techno that reverberates with fuzzy utopian ideas.
