!K7

Spring-cleaning the vaults and seeing 10 years worth of dust fly from yesterday’s brainstorms and archaic machinery, Chris de Luca and Michael Fakesch’s unrelentingly fleshy 303 & 808 strategies satisfyingly educate space cadets old and new .’Tis a dual-pronged discipline the two have schooled themselves in; drums boomeranging in a game of acid pinball, where synths corkscrew into impossible knots of industrial friction, and through the spaghetti junction of knob-twiddled robo-pogo, lay on damn good UV jack-tracks as now and again, the bleeps mushroom into more of a warehouse pole vault. Evidence that acid – and Funkstor?ng – still rains.
