Fusion In Park vinyl

Whilst not quite appearing at the same dizzying rate of last year, it's still quite difficult to keep a hold on all the material that surfaces with the discernible sonic stamp of veteran Scandinavian scamps Frak. Aside from their own Borft Records, Kontra Music has been a steady outlet for Frak material for the past two years and Fusion In Park is a welcome addition to the Malmo label's output thus far this year, providing something different to Rivet's Bear Bile EP and the minimal collaboration between Porn Sword Tobacco and SUED and Acido Records man SVN. For their part, Kontra mischievously describe Frak as "the Swedish House Mafia for people who actually know what house music is", and this 12" offers two distinctly different sides to Jan Svensson and co's production palette. "Machines Drifting Away" merges stinging EBM and 303 basslines with jacking drums, deep house chords and other swathes of synths, while "To Find A Way Home" is a bumping techno track pumped full of filters and flange and their trademark Swedish machine-funk that at one point sounds like Frak covering the Wooly classic "Erotic Discourse".
