Alien Alien 'Secret Sabbah' EP (Meant Records)
French imprint Meant Records serves up a new EP from Rodion and Hugosan’s Alien Alien project. The EP’s opener, ‘Secret Sabbah’, establishes the tone with a somewhat monotonous groove and builds tension with eerie tones and lead-footed percussion. ‘Versailles’ is deeper – a lot deeper, in fact – as the duo deliver a dense cut built around cluttered top-lines and some pulsing atmospherics. The remixes increase the intensity a bit, with Russia’s Moralez and San Francisco pair JP Soul & Anthony Mansfield both delivering acidic, club-ready floor-fillers, leaving JD Twitch to provide the release’s sole techno offering.
