"Absolutely massive 12" here as Erol Alkan finally makes his recording debut alongside Boys Noize, and could you really get a bigger pair-up? Sure we've had a fair few remixes in the past from Erol, but nothing with his name at the front until now, and considering how fantastic those remixes and re-edits have been, it's definitely something that's long, long overdue. First of all "Waves" is a H.U.G.E. Acid-banger with some trancey overtones at the beginning (in the best possible way) and a Rush-tastic peak before it comes on even stronger, with some Smith n Hack style Acid editing. This is motorways ahead of your standard Electro-House fare and has classic written all over it. On the flip "Death Suite" is THE sweaty Rave beast right now, vibing like Mr. Oizo remixing Phuture, the Acid is matched this time with constantly switching drums and constantly Huger basslines, snippets of Vocals and the best ADD editing since the days of Osymyso (5 points if you remember him). In the current dearth of forward thinking AND seriously banging club music these tracks stand out head shoulders, torso and legs above everything else right now, totally essential stuff."
Expired.
