PART 7

TRACKLISTING: A1 Bumps, A2 Sucker, B1 Get Strong, B2 Pretty Daddy. OVERVIEW: Last year Accidental Records released ˜Herbert Complete™, a 130- track boxset featuring Herbert™s entire extensive back catalogue. It included rare and unreleased tracks from the mid 90™s right up to the critically acclaimed ˜Bodily Functions™ and ˜Scale™ albums. Though this might have felt like the closing of the doors for Matthew Herbert™s house moniker, particularly with the ever forward-thinking producer having moved onto making music out of an exploding bomb, a shopping list, a club and even a pig, this thankfully is not the end for this side of the prolific composer's output. Following last month™s release of the 4-track EP 'Part 6' comes the unsurprisingly titled 'Part 7'. Another 4 tracks of twisted club music kicking off with the RnB tilted pop chant 'Bumps' which once again featuring the vocals of Rahel from London band Hejira. Track 2 'Sucker' is reminiscent of the original 'Parts 1-5' that came out on the now defunct Phono label circa 1995, a true Herbert techno workout. Side B of the vinyl opens with 'Get Strong' a track that Herbert has already been playing out a fair bit in his DJ sets to heavy crowd responses at the likes of Fabric and Space already this summer, the bouncy melody picking the dance floor up against a backdrop of industrial sounding bass clunks. Moving on to the closing piece of the EP comes 'Pretty Daddy', a twisted and rigorous slab of electronica to keep you awake all night. With 'Part 7' directly following 'Part 6' (of which the first pressing of the vinyl sold out in under 2 weeks), we hope there may be more to come from the uncompromising producer yet...
