ItaloJohnson – ITJ14

Party starting Berlin trio ItaloJohson have only ever aimed to serve up music to jack the floor. Their own self-titled outlet for this weaponry is now up to a 14th instalment and still it sounds fresh and inventive. These are three more robust tracks with 'track 2' particularly getting us going - the bleeping synth riffs, glitchy hi hats and vast, booming kicks are pure basement dynamite. The same can be said of the rock slid 'Track 3' which also has some slippery acid lines weaving in and out of the rugged drums. This is form and functioning coming together in perfect harmony.
