lfo - butterslut

of course "freak" whom which "butterslut" is the b-side to was the club hit and the big return of lfo for production, i would have to think because it was the heir to anthem that is "lfo (leeds warehouse mix)". i loved "freak" and it's combination of really banging music, distortion and creepy vibes. "butterslut" is something that i heard a while after "freak" and i would like to think that it's also because of what attracted me to the a-side but the title is also quite nifty in a stupid way.

the modus operandi is a hard beat and a riff that has a portmanteau that is a bit off which changes sound every sixteenth bar. elements and drumloops also come in and out with the switching of the lead sound and this brings a nice unsuspecting vibe. the breakdown of the track changes the riff and percussion into something that would be referred to as detroit and when it storms back into distortion the switch really does the trick.

for me this is oe of the tracks i used to play when i wanted to some "crazy music" during the white noise and sidechain era of house and club music. some of the other tracks were and the likes of the hypnotist's "death of dub", luke slater's filtered mix of madonna's "the power of good-bye", daft punk's "rollin' and scratchin'" along with others. in fact the most used combination was the latter of the three and this where i'd also work in  mu's "paris hilton" in between.

all and all a really fun piece of techno with flips that brings possibilities to change directions in set if also worked with a loop function.
