The Chateau Flight duo of I:Cube and Gilb'r pull a Richie Havens on "Chichi Devils" and go back to their roots referencing early Chicago house and the latter days of the cold wave movement with resolutely impressive results. Currently finding favour in the peak time sets of Mr Erol Alkan, "Chichi Devils" delights with a raucously raw approach to production, eschewing any attempts at polishing up the sound. A burning synth stab wrapped around the singular thud of a kick drum is the core thrust around which subtle floating sonics bubble away deep in the mix, whilst metallic bass textures add the requisite menace. Magnifique!
