Trained in jazz guitar, Juxtpose turned to techno after hearing Underground Resistance and Carl Craig interviewed on label boss Ennio Styles' radio show. Before long, Juxtpose was playing alongside Harvey Sutherland and catching the attention of Stacey Pullen, Roska, Martyn, Slam and Horse Meat Disco. 'Technometry' centres around a huge buzzing bassline filled out with jacking drum machine beats, swirling synth pads and a gurgling vocal hook. Christian Vance contributes a raw and driving remix, showing why his skills have been sought out by Derrick May (for a collab in Carl Craig's studio!), Ripperton, Aril Brikha, Tresor and Versatile Records. Swedish keyboard maestro Opolopo (remixer to Gregory Porter and Joey Negro) then turns techno into new jack swing with his funky ghostbusting remix. Also included is 'Boneshaker', a percussive and housier track that lives up to its name, sporting a bassline with the weight to match 80s classics like Adamski & Seal's 'Killer' or Kenny Jammin' Jason & Fast Eddie's 'Can U Dance'. DJ support from Soulphiction/Jackmate, Harvey Sutherland, Fish Go Deep, Richard Dorfmeister and Colin Dale.
