| Phreqaflex' is the first of two 2010 EPs which show Falty DL apply his sound and signatures to two older types of music; in this case, 2-Step. The three tracks here are as tough as hell, built for tearing up dancefloors, which make them a step away from Falty's previous Planet Mu releases. The bold 'Phreqaflex' has keyboard stabs, shuffling drums and glassy pads while 'Because You' uses triggered samples that fade and warp into the background over stormy chords, a huge bassline and a stop start melody backed by razor sharp drums. Last but by no means least is 'My Friends Will Always Say...', the most experimental and poppy track on the EP with a straightforward sampled melody line over off-key chords and worldless vocal lines slipping in and out of the track, while all kinds of details fight for attention in the mix. |
