Another day, another motherfuckin DAB-J! Well, their release roster might not be that prolific, but we'll not let reason interfere with rhyme. And you guessed it: it's another shadowy figure lifted from obscurity like a golden pearl plucked from the deepest depths of the ocean. Could it be the work of an infamous producer, or the product of a hobo wizard who's borrowed a few machines from a home-owning friend? Only the DABJ Illuminati know this. And the fact that they also have a sense of humor means that we can keep getting away with writing these increasingly ridiculous press releases. It also gives us reason to assume that the entire DABJ back catalogue is the work of an 85 year old woman. O.D.D: Ol' Dirty Debra working that danceflo heat. But more than likely it's not on a geriatric junt tip. "Bumbling Muppet" is a stripped-back militant jacker with a big, bad and rubbery Abe Duque "It Moved Me" style bassline. The only thing that's missing is drill instructor Srt. Hartman from Full Metal Jacket screaming dancefloor orders down the mic. An intense gut-rupturing workout. "Foam Suit" is something like a bizarre demon seed birthed from the unholy loins of Willie Burns, and those of the Dance Mania crew who were smoking some other shit. What a nightmarish union. Rich and redeeming chords keep us from going fully mental though. Half way disclaimer: Trying to actually describe what any of this actually sounds like would leave us sounding a bit silly really, so these half-baked references are the best option, for your sake! The bleepfunk of "Pols" rolls out like a thoroughly refreshed take on the surreal groove of Sweet Exorcist and Unit Moebius at their downright freakiest. The tougher rhythm of "Trigger's Drum" reveals the Techno roots of this E.P. You might want to keep this one away from your parents though. Just in case you come home to find that they've dug out the vintage ecstasy collection, have ingested the entire contents and are melting into pool of druggy syrup while this track booms throughout the house. Maybe you are that parent.
