PUMP

With five Beat Pharmacy albums and almost a dozen vinyl releases on Francois K's Deep Space imprint, this dubby and eclectic project of Brendon Moeller needs no introduction. Chugging along at 120bpm, underpinned by a thick sub-dub bassline and a modulating Maurizio-style synth chord arpeggio, Pump is a hypnotic slab of deep smoky house with some memorable hooks to boot. Swirling rhodes keyboards and a slick piano riff serve as a lovely counterpoint to the swinging funk of the hi hat groove. Forever morphing and evolving, the stready and unrelenting groove are guaranteed to keep heads bobbing and toes tapping! The first remix here is by Echospace head honcho, Stephen Hitchell under his Intrusion guise. Stripping away and re-contextualizing the key elements in the track, Hitchel crafts a warehouse-style DJ tool that subtlely weaves it's way into one's subconscious via a delightfull psychedelic keyboard hook. London's Bearweasel takes a similar approach, except with a much more pronounced beat track superbly trippy atmosphere. A top notch DJ tool that's likelly to be spun worldwide. All round a quality release with enough sensibility and character to be played for years to come. A1 PUMP (ORIGINAL) B1 PUMP (INTRUSION DUB) B2 PUMP (BEARWEASEL DUB)
