Inxec vs Droog - The Westbound EP


A1. Westbound
A2. Accidental
B1. Unhinged
B2. Sleepless Knights


Choice trans-Atlantic partnership Inxec vs Droog deliver "The Westbound EP", their spellbinding debut offering on Crosstown Rebels. LA based Culprit label bosses Droog and Brit techno accomplice Inxec strike that all-important balance between magnetic dancefloor appeal and impeccably smooth and compelling production, a sure fire winner that’s got DC-10 written all over it. A-side "Westbound" is replete in eerie techno soul. Ghostly, disengaged Hispanic influences echo through the eerie infectious riveting groove showcasing this effortless example of techno-balearica, a monster of track!! Murkier still, "Accidental" is a melancholic ride along a dubby elastic bassline with sweeping ambient techno circled by a haunting female cry. Flip over to the B-side as it all gets hypnotic, deep and sexy – "Unhinged" is laced with sinister dissonant chords, out of which emerges a soul-piercing female voice, sensual and strange. Finally "Sleepless Knights" is structured around arpeggiated, bubbling synths, housey and full of warmth, the atmosphere is both deep and spaced out; this gem is bathed in sunshine is guaranteed to provide one of those all important spine-tingling money shots on the dancefloor...www.piccadillyrecords.com
