...you havin' a laff mate? This EP is called VOLTS for a reason... straight to thee A my friend... the drop is to feckin' die for... seriously though this is a solid EP all over, I'm just a sucker for breakbeats n'tekno!
Favorite track: IMOGEN & Ben Pest - Volts.
Our next release, and now long-awaited, is a collaboration between IMOGEN and Ben Pest. This follows IMOGEN's earlier appearance on Earwiggle which was a highlight of the Eel Behaviour series. We're big fans of Ben Pest and are very pleased to have the pair debuting their first full release together on the label.
From the hyperactive opener "Volts", that effortlessly juggles raw analogue techno with UK hardcore and all manner of rude bass wobbles, they soon delve into further chaos through the squawks and clatters of broken industrial cut "Gramalkin". "Shibooty" is a perky take on Chi-town techno, upping the funk levels through bustling shuffled 909s, humming bass and cartoonish vocal sequences. With the brooding acid electro of "Misjudgement Day", IMOGEN and Ben pile on some extra modular drones for the road, finishing off the EP in killer fashion.
Vinyl comes in a special mix of solid pink and purple, in the very striking shade of ‘Pink Panther’.
