Edito de Tricycle EPAlways with eyes and ears tuned to the future, the ever-prolific Various Production chose now ? with their pair of ?Various Versus? remix 12?s fresh out the box only last week ? to announce their first new material of 2009, opening up a series of 12?s designed to showcase a new focus in their music.
Unveiling three tracks of curdled electronic mutations, the ?Trycycle? EP lights up with ?Ramp?, featuring the unique, wildstyle and razor-sharp MC flows of V.E.X., who ? despite his previous collaborations with VP ? remains a nugget of hip hop treasure, hidden in plain sight and waiting to be discovered, with a rhyming style light years ahead of his contemporaries. You?ll have to listen hard to keep up with his stream of synapse-leaping lyrical reportage, but get familiar and expect to hear more from him with VP at the controls later this year. ?B-Side? is a half-time piece of mongrel grime, teeming with twisting synth arpeggios, huge, bright, bumping chords and warped hooks. Finally, ?Trycycle? is a thrilling ride on an 8-bit syno-melody that Ryiuchi Sakamoto would be proud of, constantly twisting out of shape then recapturing it?s form ? it?s wobbly as hell but no less danceable for it.
