Winter is coming
Cardopusher '1989 Warehouse' (Classicsounds)
Barcelona’s Cardopusher gets busy on his own Classicsounds imprint with this new release. If you’re a fan of retro, analogue naughtiness then this is one for you. There’s a large slice of 303 badness on ‘Mouthwash Acid’, while ‘Police Are Coming (Emergency Mixx)’ has a bit of electro flavour to it, like a chase soundtrack from an old 80s movie. Elsewhere, ‘1989 Warehouse’ goes for that sleazy basement flex; the bassline continues to modulate against a tough kick and a vocal that repeats “warehouse, warehouse” over and over again. It has to be said that this was a close contender for Tune Of The Month, again relying on simplicity for maximum impact and devastation. Can’t wait to hear this one on a powerful sound system, absolutely rude.
