VDR009 - Punta Christo marks the debut artist EP of London techno duo Our Mutual Friend.
Sales Information:
Glenn Middleditch and Mark Leigh are primarily known around London for their monthly “Friends of Ours” night in Peckham, which has allowed them to hone their live set alongside guests like Jane Fitz and Juju and Jordash, and their recently launched “Mutual Friend Recordings” label which made a splash earlier this year with a strong EP from STL. It was in fact that acclaimed producer who first connected the pair with Voodoo Down when they began looking for other labels to branch out on. The EP consists of three diverse but complementary tracks: the title track being the atmospheric club-ready anchor, “Reverse Polarity” a rolling bass-and-tom workout, and “Smell of Rain” the psychedelic slow burner. This record caps off a fruitful year for the group (the title “Punta Christo” pays homage to the Dimensions Festival venue where they played for the first time over the summer), and hints at great potential and willingness to explore.
