MAP vs DJ Haus 'X Mod' EP (Dixon Avenue Basement Jams)
Dixon Avenue Basement Jams continues its sonic slew of raw underground club weapons. Here, it welcomes DJ Haus and Mak and Paceman to the party with this three-tracker. ‘X-Mod’ is a jaggy tech banger, while ‘Bang It’ takes you by surprise as its driving groove gives way to a poised syncopated knock before banging back in with the good stuff. ‘Drive MF’ sounds, according to DABJ, like “Paul Johnson and Daniel Bell stuck in a lift or some other bullshit analogy like that”. Well put.
7/10
