Once again, back is the incredible: Martinez. This Swedish
Copenhagener needs no introduction unless you’ve been
living under a rock (as in “ ’n’roll ” ). His first release on
3rd Floor Records is set to take the spitzenklasse quality
of the label to unprecedented heights.
The ball is opened with Martinez’ trademark sound, but
“Mistlur” is nevertheless combining old and new sound –
thereby extending the reach of the Martinez fan base.
Layering tons of hypnotic and enchanting sounds that
twirls in and out on top of the warm driving bass line in
perfect conjunction with the subtle theme play, this track
is an absolute killer and we pity the fool who sits by
without getting into a serious groove.
Sliderglider represents the minimal and bouncy sound on
this 12”. The primary bass line is deep and driving and
requires plenty of room, but the accompanying effects
and synths have a more minimal feel to them thus
resulting in a very effective sound. Once halfway through
the track a wobbly and bouncy synth kicks in and gives
the whole arrangement a staccato burst but it soon
leaves the scenery again only to let the before mentioned
bass monster continue on its path of dance floor
destruction.
Making sure no one is left alive on the dance floor “101
Regards” finishes off this electronic slaughter in a very
hypnotic and building fashion. The siren-ish theme synth
is continually building itself up and tearing itself down
leaving the listener in a state of trance. The basis of this
track is a more funky (mind the f-word!) blend of
percussions and the occasional bleep’n’squeak.
