Tune of the month
Danny Daze & Shokh 'Aire' (Kompakt Records)
Danny Daze continues to impress with his knack for finding the interesting intersections between differing genres. Here, he and Shokh deliver a cut of sweaty, propulsive electro-techno for Kompakt’s latest Speicher release. Think rib-rattling basslines, frantic hi-hats and icy pad work set against screeching stabs and dystopia sirens. On the flip, Patrice Bäumel offers up some dubby progressive house that’s great too, but it’s Daze and Shokh’s banger that’s the real star here.
