aphex twin - vaz deferenz

recently i picked up the "donkey rhubarb" single as it included the magnificent philip glass rendition of "icct hedral". after listening to the whole ep i thought little of "donkey rhubarb" and "pancake lizard" was fun but meaningless. second track on the single was "vaz deferenz" and it was something that i hadn't heard before but i became a fan out it instantly. if it's something richard d james is brilliant at then it's making electro and "vaz deferenz" come through hard.

it reminds me of "isopropanol" and "dodeccaheedron" from the first two aphex twin ep's but it's more techno than proper electro but it doesn't matter. synthesised bubbly and crunchy sounds together with bleeps and bloops on top a rigid sub bass and really hard kicks. it wouldn't be out of place in a techno set or an electro set, depending on what type of electro one is playing. someone like me that is all over the place will cram it with whatever i'm playing. be it some soulful new jersey garage or banging trance, i'd punch it in.

buy here (bleep)
