Well, you might not recognise the name Loxodrome, (possibly for good reason) but you'll know Jamie Odell (aka Loxodrome, Jimpster and many more) who released the original 'The Loxodrome EP' in 1994! Here's the follow up!
You'd have thought Jimpster would have enough work on his keyboards with running labels Freerange and Delusions Of Grandeur along with DJing and seemingly endless quality remixes to have the time to slip back 30 years to check out some acid droppin' tech house? Well he has and it's as hot now as it was with the emergence of 303 emulators.
The title track is quite jumpy and eye-2-eye contact dancefloor warped and mixed with some Star Trek-ed flight command star date time to "tune in and drop out" in a club way, not a Timothy Leary's '66 revival way.
The last track, 'Fornax A' sneaks onto a Balearic Peech Bros, NYC seashore which you might have to save for next summer but the meat (vegan options are available) of the EP is 'Emberfall' and 'Emberfall (Dub)' which has elements of 'Drop Out' and 'Fornax A' that creates something bigger than the knob twiddling parts.
Cyphon Recordings have also released artists like Kirk Degiorgio (As One), DJ Rocca, Yuu Udagawa (she of the recent Compost remix releases 'Ride it'/'Set Me Sneakers' - see review HERE) and the Odell/Loxodrome is definitely going to give them an even higher profile.
