Having lurked in the tape scene for many moons, AL-90 brings his dishevelled house sound to the dancefloor with this single for Tape Throb. Despite the name of the label, this is in fact destined for vinyl, and leads with the fuzzy yet funky Cheremushki Groove, assisted in the process by Monokle. There s a whiff of Gerry Read s dusty production values present on Fluid, but AL-90 seems locked into a more discernible beat. That changes on Cataract with its degraded hardcore breaks drowning under a sea of unforgiving processing, while Tape Throb label boss The Cyclist is an appropriate choice of remixer to finish the record with a crunchy yet focused version of Cheremushki Groove
