Track 1 is Madteo’s “Down By The Reservoir” (Madteo’s Muso Duro What Other Kicks Are There Remix), a title that seems to be a play on the gospel song “Down by the Riverside.” It’s a fantastic remix that unfolds over a little over 10 minutes with tribal, trance-like, ritualistic rhythms. Simone—who releases under the names SMM0000, Banishsh, and Meze—also delivers an obscure, distorted synth breakbeat indie dance track. I believe this is Mass_Prod’s first release in a while—he’s previously released on labels like Kontra-Musik and Bosconi—and this tribal-stepped remix, which could easily be mixed into a techno set, is also excellent.
