DROID 922EP
|
Portion out of control. In a shocking act of extreme togetherness, and ruthless efficiency, a third Droid platter in one earth year. The crack management team at Tape Man Enterprises have assured you this is not a temporary blip, more bacon donors will be flying through the cosmos... as sure as night follows day, thus proving that for some ineptitude can work as a lifestyle choice and pigs do fly. Hopefully this humble offering can pierce the shitstorm of life and help replenish your joy batteries...

DROID 722EP
|
The overexcited young men at the Droid factory up the beats per minute and channel the spirit of other sensible chaps a la John Belushi, River Phoenix, and John "I chose the best exit" Entwhistle on Idjut Boys' latest audio laboratory assault. Less terminal, with careful use, perhaps, than a fat fully loaded speedball, they hope man and beast find some musical justice or bemusement in the latest hoedown on offer. Idjut Boys have various takes at various tempos, so bar mitzvah's, weddings and indeed acid house events should be covered for those game enough to get on the Droid bucking bronco.

DROID 422EP

Three's a charm: U-Star, Noid and Droid! Of course, Dan Tyler and Conrad McDonnell have done way more than that. Better known as Idjut Boys, they were still there when the sun-of the summer of love went down and the acid house fever settled down. As remixers extraordinaire, party priests, dub poets or mirror ball hippies, they were broadening minds with labels like Discfunction and treating disco as a way of life. It's hard to imagine the British club (and music) scene without their mark. Here is their long overdue return under the Droid umbrella. Reactivated for the needs and dance nerds of today, Droid initially had been designed for straight up machine music, fierce drums, electronic body music and bass heavy melodies in 2008. Following that template, Dumme Willie sounds like a cocktail made from Prelude bonus beats, Supertronics dubs, and stand-off between George Kranz and Curt Cress. Two well-crafted takes of each "Dumme Willie" and "Schlagstock" fill the proverbial boots of said influences and equally draw for your attention. An Idjut thing indeed. Fun fidelity guaranteed.

"In a world in which trance DJs with names like Ferry, Armin & Tiesto plead for votes in the DJ Mag Top 100, it's nice to know there are other, stranger, galaxies circling the one in which we live - namely, that of the Idjut Boys - Daniel (Tyler) & Conrad (McConnell). Where most are happy to serve up a formulaic & entirely predictable menu to keep the hordes happy, the Idjut Boys play, as Conrad once quipped, 'Whatever we can get away with.' That could include anything from '70s jock metallists Nazareth to Phil Collins interspersed with perhaps some Underground Resistance for light relief, swiftly followed by the Temptations, something which makes their DJ sets non-conformist & brilliant; sometimes floorclearing, but always interesting."
