Almost a year after they unveiled their collaboration with the
wall of sound that was the ‘Spiker’ 12” Perc & Truss return to their
home on the Perc Trax Ltd label to serve up a fresh four track EP of
live analogue jams. Once again the tracks were recorded in one take. All
mistakes, happy accidents and bizarre unexplainable audio artefacts
have been kept in place, with no post-production or further editing done
once the first take was recorded. These tracks cover more ground than
the three on Spiker, but the Perc & Truss collaboration is no
experimental vanity project, with all four new tracks aiming straight at
the dancefloor.
Title track and opener ‘Two Hundred’ leads the way with caustic acid providing the foundation for a classic London cabbie-rant vocal, whilst ‘Judd’ layers all manner of malfunctioning effect pedal sounds over a triplet rhythm track. On the b-side ‘Forever Your Girl’, a mainstay of Perc’s sets for months now, leads the charge, as rave interludes provide a breather from the kind of kick drum volley tailor-made for Awakening’s Gashouder home. Finally ‘Van Der Valk’ mixes hardcore stabs over an icy electro-tinged groove and crowd samples, stretching the Perc & Truss sound further than ever before.
Tracklist:
A1) Two Hundred
A2) Judd
B1) Forever Your Girl
B2) Van Der Valk
