September: 16 house releases you need to hear this month
The last of the summer bangers are in
Octave One 'Lounge Act' (Made in Glasgow)
This is the inaugural release from a new Glasgow imprint, with Octave One taking Pete MacLeod’s version of Nirvana’s ‘Lounge Act’ and turning it into a bass-driven, late-night monster. With a grounded bass, floaty synths and an effected vocal, the label has pulled out all the stops for its debut release. Whether it’s the darker dub on the flip or the original, this has already found favour with Andrew Weatherall, Sean Johnstone, Funk D’Void and Terry Farley.
