Belgian producers Sierra Sam & Marcus Vector return to their house-oriented project D.I.Y. (Dumb Irresponsible Youth) for three more sly, sexy groovers, with contributions from dOP, Big Bully and Markus Fix. While Sam and Marcus are generally known for their more techno-focused productions, last years House Tools Vol. 1 was a minor hit, with tracks included in Ellen Alliens Resident Advisor podcast, Jay Hazes recent Fabric47 mix CD, and M.A.N.D.Y.s charts. Since then, they ve kept busy with their own Toys For Boys label, meanwhile Sierra Sam has co-produced the debut album by Bloody Mary on Contexterrior. Still, they ve found the time to crank out these new elegant-yet-sleazy cuts, and while Vol. 1 was purely instrumental, for Vol. 2 they ve roped in some guest vocalists. First up is their collab with comrades dOP (Circus Company, Eklo, Supplement Facts). >Kilimanjaro< features D.I.Y.s tribal bounce combined with dOPs seedy, Trent Reznor-on-opiates vocal delivery. The flipside has two versions of >Suck my Caulk<: D.I.Y.s original elevates thelevel of melody and sunshine, weaving in the voice of Big Bully (known forhis work on Spectral, Get Physical and Vakant). Markus Fix of Cecille offers his own interpretation, bringing the track down into deep house territory. Placed in the right hands, these tools can do some serious dancefloor damage!
