Continuum Gate

Alli Borem, the Italian tech-house don, is back in top form with three club weapons for Turbo. Italian acid-tech-house for dancefloors everywhere: "Continuum Gate" is a huge, super-effective DJ tool. A wonky acid top-line hovers over rolling, Spastik-style percussion. Add in massive kicks and a gritty ride, and BOOM, the party gets spazzo. "Children of the Heart" tweaks the reverb and flecks the resonant acid all over your mind... it sounds like Daniel Avery, dipped in tiramisu. Finally, "Turbo Rolling Ride" ups the jack quotient, with pumping snares punctuating an infinitely grooving bass line. Solid, playable bombs.
