two sides of music, two sides of Serato Contol Tone
The musical philosophy behind the Recloose and Frank Booker radio show Hit It & Quit It gets moulded into this rather fetching double vinyl compilation release that has a nice conceptual undercurrent. Hit It & Quit It Radio Revue Vol 1 features exclusive new material from bands with an intrinsic link to New Zealand - with Recloose himself contributing alongside Jellphonic and Lord Echo, whilst Booker delivers a special edit of The Oliverwho Factory and there's also a glimpse of the live Recloose experience via his band Starblazers. Additionally, the double vinyl set also functions as Serato Control Tones, with the B Side of each twelve adapted for such purposes. Musically, Recloose continues down the kind of deep house path last seen on his Rush Hour twelve, whilst Booker's edit of "Goin Back" bursts with colour. Jellphonic invests some heavyweight bass into the pummelling boom bap of "Smack" whilst Lord Echo delivers some delightfully dubby beatdown.
