Chicago, Detroit, Redruth
Genre-bending DJ Luke Vibert holds back from stylistic overkill.
Listening to Chicago, Detroit, Redruth is kind of like flicking through LukeFM: you get Vibert-esque acid, techno and electro; Wagon Christ-ish wonky breakbeat and even a dose of Plug-alike drum and bass and Kerrier District disco. Previous full-length outings have generally suffered from a sort of stylistic overkill – apart from the (fairly sizeable) hardcore, there’s only so much 303 the rest of us can take. But beyond this, Chicago… features some of his most memorable excursions in years: the woozy stabs, raw 808 and tweaking acid of the memorable title track; the reassuringly familiar jaunty trip-hop of ‘Rotting Flesh Bags’ and the brilliantly braindead sub-bass stomper ‘Breakbeat Metal Music’ all stand-out, as does ‘Argument Fly’, which is as close as Vibert will ever get to conventional acid techno.
