Gathering altogether Craxy X-Ray, Michael Paul, Phil Davis and Invexis on a one and same 12'' is a way to guard against underground failure! Accustomed to the label policy, the four artists inaugurate here a new Deluxe series with three tracks evolving between 135 and 150bpm. On A side, longplayer "Addicted" introduces a powerful bassline enhanced by dark and metallic strings. Phil Davis in his own trademark. On the reverse, bubbling "Oscillator", written by none the less than Georg Köhler aka Invexis, offers discrete TB 303 sounds under a wild rhythm. At last, tribal "Unpaid Sex", served by Craxy X-Ray vs Michael Paul, takes up again with a groovy techno punctuated by astonishing samples and lyrics. A highly recommended 12''!
