[018] Doubleheart: Roca EP

Release Date: December 2012

Format: 12” vinyl

The sonorous shape shifting form of Neil Landstrumm is back, this time coupled with Glasgow’s groundbreaking JD Twitch to once again form Doubleheart for the ‘Roca EP’.

These electronic alchemists conjure up rolling chords and a textured complexity from the outset. “Grasso” is deep, lush and soaring. Electro at the core with retro playfulness pushing the boundaries of this uplifting opener. “Crank” melts sounds in a simmering brew of industrialised and digitised House. Beats and melodies are at loggerheads in this powerful piece of scorched machine funk. “Lizard” takes a different route. The tempo is reduced as Heather Craig offers vocals for a work of nightdrive Electro adaptation. Tribal disturbances close the 12. “Fuentes” rumbles forth with a cacophony of beats and samples with an Afrobeat being hijacked by Breakbeats invaders.

Doubleheart have set the phazers and aren’t taking prisoners.

The vinyl is limited to 300 copys and comes in a printed disco sleeve.
