Justin Drake from Peace Division teams up again with Canadian Tsuba artist Kevin Griffiths for some throwback jacking techno business on Fear Of Flying. "The Devil's Eye" begins in quite simple fashion, dropping dubbed stabs over a booming kick; it's when the driving warm bass hits that you're hooked. From here the duo etch out a mid 90s Schatrax jacking groove which locks in for the duration. Smallville's Christopher Rau and newcomer Bleak are called on to remix the track, with the former retaining the jacking beats though twisting them towards something approaching deep house, with some gloriously warm pads rising to the fore as the track progresses. In contrast Bleak reimagines the track as a dark stomp through the machinations of peak time techno punctuated by a reverberant rhythmic thrust akin to the tracks on his debut for Sudden Drop.
