As always October takes a big slice of his inspiration from the Detroit techno sound of the 80s and early 90s which is clearly evident on the second cut on this plate in particular. However you simply cannot ignore his perhaps more euro-centric dub tendencies and broken-beat rhythm principles that always inform his overall composition and production ethos.
'Flat Top Muscle' is designed for tomorrow's dance floors as well as those murkiest darkest dub corners. Full of analogue synths, vintage guitar pedals, a funk-pulsed Moog bassline and vintage drum module programming, this track is laced with October's distinct signature. Militant in its delivery, this is a killer cut - set to make a big impression on the start of 2010.
'Memory Man' is definitely the deeper track of the two, warming up the midrange with Detroit-style techno pads and delayed synth lines. Smith again provides that distinct crossover sound injecting some serious broken half-steps as well as his usual meticulous beat and bass programming. This is straight up heavy business to say the least and has already gained support across the globe from the likes of Ewan Pearson, Scuba, Skudge, Sigha, Ripperton, Kevin Gorman amongst others.
