Ganymede vinyl

Perc Trax is notorious for delivering colossal levels of four to the floor power and this latest slab of techno wax stays true to their policy. Truss is back again for the label and begins with "Ganymede", a sweltering beat filled with metallic synthesizers which fit suitably within the skeleton of the track, a spawn of the now familial relationship between techno and so-called UK bass. Skirt takes care or remixing the original and transforms it almost entirely, reducing the clanging sounds to form a squelching, neo-acid piece with a pounding bass drum. Label boss Perc takes care of the second remix and comes in all guns blazing, with a skippy, shot-like sound leading the way for another cavernous mutant bass to smother its way over the half-step beat. Lastly, the swampy drums and melodies on "Hackney" are contained without allowing them to be released into another raucous techno pummelling. Who knows what could happen...
