The Analogue Cops present a fine 4 track EP for HypeLTD, ‘In Plain Clothes’ EP is raw, distorted and heavy, just the way we like it. The Italian team have already caught our ears with releases on Bass Culture, Bleep and their own Restoration Records, and collaborations with the likes of Blawan, Ryan Elliot and Alex Picone. The relentless and raw ‘If We Change’ by Lucretio bangs the way all bangers should, evoking shades of peak-era Relief Records, the vox sample filtering in and out of the frenzied drums…..more of the same from Lucretio on ‘The Way We Do’, a choice sample snakes around a battering ram of drum machines for sweaty dark basement scenes…. On the flip, Marieu chips in with ‘Swamp Fever’, a dark, jazz inflected jacker, raw like sushi, coming over like some vintage Carl Craig 4/4 business with its bass throb, whilst the EP is wrapped up by Lucretio ft. DJ Octopus, and the percussive and loopy ‘Murales’. Slap bass and distorted vocals, what more do you want? Selected DJ reactions Lando – good and crunchy, ‘The Way We Do’ for me Rivet (Skudge) – Analogue Cops are always good, will grab this on wax Soulphiction (Perlon) – ‘Swamp Fever’ for me Mosca (Radio 1) - ‘Swamp Fever’ is incredible Mark Henning (Soma) – great, tracks 1 & 4 are dope Ryan Elliot (Ostgut Ton) - ‘Swamp Fever’ has my temperature rising Paul Woolford (Special Request) – Really feeling ‘Murales’ track, nice one Matt Tolfrey (Leftroom) – very raw, love it Perc (Perc Trax) – Big Relief/Cajual fan here so these are great, love them all Axel Boman (Pampa) – Awesome lo fi tech funk, love it Tom Findlay (Groove Armada) – bonkers, but brilliant, the whole EP West Norwood Cassette Library – best HypeLTD yet Cosmin TRG – raw, ruff and ready Appleblim – nice dusty, oldskool techno madness Sebo K (Mobille) – Great EP, full support Phil Kieran (Stiff Kitten) – Sweet EP, cheers Ethyl (Secretsundaze) – great release, raw and on point as ever from The Cops DJ Deep (Tresor) – cool tracks!
