Monkey Suits

Italian producers Lucretio and Marieu aka The Analogue Cops split this 12; Vampire Killer is Lucretio's ode to bit-crushed techno, with 135+ beats-per-minute of face-melting drum machine funk and beautifully distorted melodies (taken from the MSX2 game Vampire Killer). The bitty melodic phrases of Lucretio's Shinobi push the track into orchestral territory, with heady arpeggios and feel-good melodies. Marieu's Corona takes things into harder, darker territory with deep sine-wave bass and impeccably mixed drums. McGraw waltzes into vintage Chicago territory; with looping funk samples and slamming drums, this track proves you don't need 20 channels to make a burner.
