Pirupa – Pirupa & Friends EP

Lately here at phuk, we’ve had a little break from reviewing so we can concentrate on our own production, events and general future planning. However, with such great music being released at the moment it’s really difficult not to jump back in! So now we’re back and ready to showcase some of the industries biggest tunes from both the top players and the unknown. If we like it, we’ll write about it!

On that note, here is something special that has recently been released on Saved Records, a 4-track EP from Pirupa. I’m not going to go into proper detail with these as you can hear them for yourself but expect some top class production. The first track is called ‘Pitch Da Bitch’ and is co-produced by Leon, it has some blippy stabs and a rap vocal laid over big techy drums and a deep bassline. The second track, and my favourite on the EP, is called ‘Demons’. It contains more blippy stabs, but this time coupled with nice cinematic pads and synths, love this! Third on the EP is called ‘Nomad’ and is co-produced by Alex Kennon. Amazing track and a certain club banger, big breakdown and drop. I can’t wait to play this out! Last up is a track called ‘Space Odissey’, this has a familiar vocal loop laid over a nice bouncy, hi-hat heavy tech pattern. Some great use of the cowbell and 70’s style synth keys; but you gotta have the cowbell!!

All round great EP, out now..

Dee Montero – Full Body

From Dee’s heady days as resident at Belfast’s legendary Network club, to residencies at the rather more exotic Amnesia, Pacha, Space and Café Mambo in Ibiza, Dee Montero has been whipping dancefloors into a frenzy across the globe for more than 15 years.

‘Full body’ is Dee Montero’s latest Tech House groover. Signed & Released this week to Nic Fanciulli’s ‘Saved Records’, this is a track you will need in your playlist this summer.

With a warm and dark breakdown layered with the vocal ‘Everyday I’m gonna Die’ it drops into a superb grooving bass with the vocal chopped and delayed industrial synth rolling on top.
The track has two very nice drops that don’t leave you anticipating too long, before your ready to hit back into the groove!

With G-Man on the remix, it is a very pleasant and up beat Techno track. With some very nice effects on the vocals & great delays, it gives the track a constant flow and progression.
Can’t go wrong with either of these tracks really, it all depends on the time of the set and the mood of the crowd, but will definitely be a body mover!
