Those mourning the loss of long-standing pure techno label Primate will erupt with joy to hear that the operation is back under a new name – Ape Recordings [Primate – Ape, geddit? And the old monkey is now dressed as a spaceman on the new logo]. The maiden voyage features two mixes of ‘Slanted’ off I.T.’s Upfront Policy.from ’03. First the ultra-hot Cave steams in with a dense, tribal rumbler whose ferocity evokes the juggernaut R.A.W. attack. Urgent and pounding like a carnival in hell with major drop action. The flip sees Jericho’s Jel Ford teaming up with Hydrophonic’s Steve Murray lightening the groove a tad but still motoring along in metallic, stripped-for-action fashion. Further evidence that this operation puts its monkey where it’s mouth is.
