Sascha Robotti & ZDS – Shaky EP – (Toytonics)

If you like your tech house triple strength and wonkier than the Leaning Tower of Pisa ‘The Shaky EP’, Sascha Robotti (one half of Robosonic and student of Kraftwerk’s Karl Bartos) & ZDS (Panorama Bar resident aka Zombie Disco Squad with releases everywhere from Dirty Bird to Snatch !) in your face collaboration should have you whooping, hip thrusting and feeling your groin area in a slightly worrying, Jacksonesque way. ‘Shaky’ is a solid, reverbed, four to the floor beatdown that could clear any industrial pipe blockage without suction. ‘Howly’ is a tone on tone, pitched and rolled affair with a nagging melody that races around your mind like it’s on some sort of musical Le Mans track. Enjoy the feeling of it melting your face like an expensive candle left out in the blazing sun whilst paradoxically stiffening your resolve like Victorian starch in a gentleman’s collar. Twirly moustache and coiffured beard are optional but not essential.
