With its banging beats and sweet keys, Huxley’s ‘Machine’ EP is a four track, phat as full cream funk, war on disco / tech house tearers. ‘Callin ft S Man (Roger Sanchez)’ is a lethal peak time battle weapon that negotiates the now choppy seas of basshouse with no trouble at all..’Machina’ jacks to a slower beat, and takes the prize with its as bouncy, deep and rich as a blood bank arrangment. If you must compare then think Disclosure with dripping fangs. ‘Tendered’ is an ‘in for the duration’polyrhythmic fancy with a switch-back break that will make you do a double take when it hits. ‘Oil Spill’ burbles and flows, sticking the feathers of we, unsupecting, disco birds together, then releasing them with a soapy wash of synths and snares. ‘Machine’ ? There’s nothing mechanical or predictable about this ep. Add to basket.
