UPFRONTBEATS

ONNO is back with his own unique brand of no frills techno with two new cuts that get remixed to perfection by Martin Landsky.

ONNO has been a big presence in Ibiza and the rest of the European club circuit over the past few years, playing places like Ants at Ushuaia on the reg. His DJ skill, as evidenced at places like Panorama Bar and Watergate in Berlin, is also carried over into the studio, where he cooks up heavyweight house tracks full of funk. He has done so on labels like ViVA, Saved and Moon Harbour and has become known for his bass heavy blend of house and techno.

First up, Some Mo is a gritty, dubbed out roller with seriously weighty kicks. A clipped vocal gets heavy filter treatment and moves about in the mix as industrial chords swell louder and louder. It’s a really slow burning banger. PokerFlat regular and long time production hero Martin Landsky of classics like ‘1000 Miles’ remixes with a more house focused drum line and more fluid chord progressions. The smooth, rolling track that results is a real groover.

Rounding out the top package is another hugely textured, lo fi dub techno roller with monstrous rubber kicks, stiff and icy hi hats and swelling chords. ‘Stabbing Sally’ kicks like a mule after a teasing start and really has a fine sense of seeing in its bones.

This is a perfectly fun and functional club EP that is sure to find many fans in the underground.
