FaltyDL returns to RAMP after the painfully deep ‘To
London’, and his acclaimed ‘Love Is A Liability’ album on some other label
earlier this year, with a new 12” of sleazy 2step vibes. “Party” gets things
moving with DL’s most organic production to date, resonating in your brain like
the jaded memory of an uncomfortable lap dance from an impromptu trip to the
future. Flip the wax for the warm fuzzy minimal garage vibes of “Alpafun”, a
tune that Mr. Lustman hates so much and never wanted it to see the light of
day. Just to spite the cocky New Yorker, we are putting it out.
Watch brother Lustman making Sushi HERE!
FaltyDL - Party/Alpafun (Ramp)Ahead of next month's excellent Bravery mini-LP on Planet Mu, the planet's favourite garage-style dubstepper Drew Lustman returns to _Ramp with the low-slung popping rhythms of 'Party'. Falty DL's debut album Love is a Liability (spanked over in AD006) announced the advent of a master of vocal sample manipulation and that skill is pushed to the fore once again here, the repetitious 'party' call aided and abetted by non-verbal coos and exhalations, synth tones dropping into the mix like quicksilver sinking into murky water.AA-side 'Alpafun' foregrounds the more abstract elements of Lustman's palette, a dry snare clothed in snatches of fuzzier rhythmic tremors, the low-end providing a structural rumble above which shimmering keys waver like flickering stars. And if all that leaves your yen for Lustman unsated still then you can check him out talking about the similarities between beat quantization and sushi here. - Drowned In Sound
