FEINES 064EP

Feines Tier presents Regression Session, hosted by eternal Philadelphia scene flag bearers Zillas On Acid. Just listen to the opener and title track and you won't exactly have a strong case for the Zillas selling out, but rough as it is, this thing is capable of destroying any dancefloor it touches. Looking at their recent releases it's fair to say the Z's are on quite a run, putting out music on labels like Permanent Vacation, Throne Of Blood, Multi Culti or Ivan Smagghe's Disques de la Mort. Tunes like the sneaky rough slow burners "Underling" or "Start Digging" sound like they could be lifted from the latter's infamous DJ sets, while the deceptively titled "Cha Cha Cha" or closer "Casual Observer" justify the "Acid" in the artists' name. "Shining Snakes Across The Lake" is what some years might have been called a mid-tempo house roller and probably counts as downtempo these days. Speaking of tempos, the penultimate "Sweet Days Of Discipline" starts of masquerading as really downtempo, but ends up throwing 155bpm kick drums at you, so better watch out, all you k-hole ravers! Then comes "bquiet," which is what you'd call mid-tempo house these days (125bpm) and uses the eternally banging combination of a jacking beat, a polyrhythmic bass line, some lead-synth stabs and talking vocal slices. What you see is what you get: They are Zillas, and they are on Acid. And they provide a collection of eight tunes that probably each don't necessarily have a double-digit amount of tracks in their DAW projects, and that's exactly what makes them so forceful. Join the regression session!
