Martinet 'Reversed' EP (No Idea’s Original)
Martinet (a new alias from Huxley, aka Michael Dodman) veers towards synth-led house and techno on this new release. We’ve been fans of his work on Aus, 2020 Vision and Hypercolour, but the tracks on ‘Reversed’ lead to darker dancefloors. The title track is dark and evil with spooky drums, driving bass and off-beat clangs. ‘Tubes’ mixes a thundering beat with arpeggiated synths and woodblock percussion. ‘No Need To Make A Fuss About It’ sounds like Sasha in top gear, while the haunted breakbeat of ‘Undercrowded’ comes on like Bicep working with Massive Attack. 8/10
