Brassica 'Time Tunnel' (Feel My Bicep)
Opening the doors of FMB to other producers hasn’t just given Bicep more time to pursue their busy career; it also means the tastemakers are able to bring us lots of exciting new music, too. The pair have already shown their fondness for Brassica by remixing one of his previous tracks, and now give him a platform for new cut ‘Time Tunnel’. It’s a moody house track that would sound equally at home on a beach bar as it would soundtracking a twilight warehouse party, while B-side ‘Wryders’ is a solid and dramatic breakbeat cut. Elsewhere, Roy Of The Ravers tackles ‘Time Tunnel’ in a techno style that sounds like a lost DAT, and The Sphinx does a great bigger room version, but our tip is still the wondrous original.
