Millie & Andrea - 3x12"




A sort of mutant 2-Step/Techno/Wonky mashup produced with all the sharpened low-end brilliance you'd rightfully expect from two producers at the very top of their game. Ok, so they're not really called Millie, or Andrea, but it really isn't any big secret who's behind this twelve and if you look closely enough, all the information's there!

The second salvo on the Daphne label sees Millie flying solo for two tracks of deep and barely managable bass flamboyance to mess with yo minds. As opposed to the more temperamental ruffage of Daphne001, this second salvo opens with a more woozy agenda in mind on "Sample Clearance", substituting menace with space for a squashed variation that keeps things deep and heavy in a Hessle Audio meets Chain Reaction sort of way. "Path To Hell" on the flipside revolves around percussive fragments with a hauntological agenda - ghostly, almost-there loops oozing out the auditory remnants of the entire ardkore continuum dissolving into a smoky, narcotic haze.

Third limited edition transmission from the Daphne label, once again finding covert operators Millie and Andrea nudging the controls further into the red with two squashed and deadly killers primed for the dance. Andrea takes charge of the A-side with a raved-up low-end wrecker complete with big f*ck-off sunset strings and a tumbling break that's one half junglist hardcore and one half peak-time dubside anthem. Millie, meanwhile, delivers a spacious woodblock destroyer on the flip, channelling Martyn and T++ with radiant blue chords and murderous stabs before a frenzied analogue bassline lets itself loose nudging towards the end.

Expired.
