The debut LP from Chicagodamn ! It's been pieced together over the course of a year, since the last, superb and limited edition 'Bizarre Sex' 12 on his own label Since becoming a father to triplets, this incredibly talented producer has, thankfully, managed to make some time for the recording studio too, as the title tells us 'Experiments Must Continue' Gavin McClary's music lies somewhere between the cavernous, pared down sonic delights of producers like Levon Vincent, and the simplistic yet irresistible classic House on labels like Prescription Underground. All executed and pieced together with beautifully produced analog textures, an undeniable ear for hooks & a dash of the gritty UK Techno sound synonymous with his production alias. Whether he's carving up Disco samples or making 4 basic elements do incredible things, his 'sound' is instantly recognisable, and effortlessly effective where it counts. On 'Experiments Must Continue' he pushes and develops his trademark themes into a striking and cohesive collection of modern warehouse jams. Moving from expertly overdriven, rowdy pieces like 'Sleep Deprived' and 'Acid Tool', to those ever present, stripped back grooves on the mesmerising 'Strawberries & Kream' & 'Experiments' And don't get us started on the deadly 'Agitated' as distinctive and powerful a club jam as you're likely to hear all year ! A stunning collection then Available as a limited Edition (500 copies) Double vinyl package Housed in shrinkwrapped manilla sleeves, with cover sticker & unique download codes More
