Play 90 second soundbite of 'Gluttonous Dub' @ 'CD quality'
Incessant, irritatingly catchy percussion leads the way followed by spasmodic electro interjections which bring the vibrancy and additional groove to the mix. Sonic synthesized winds drift across the beats whilst industrial sounding hisses and clicks fill voids and add intensity. 'Gluttonous Dub' comes here with two mixes, as does its smaller, but no less intense, 'brother', 'Do Not Pass'. The latter is slightly 'heavier' in form, the sonic winds being replaced by surging blasts of sounds and siren-like fills. Similarly driven by massive percussive beats, 'Do Not Pass' is possibly bordering on the psychedelic and has a tendency to be quite 'heady'!
Definitely one for the breakbeat specialists and party-heads, 'Gluttonous Dub' and ''Do Not Pass' offer little or no respite from the hypnotic but also driving beats. Well concealed, simmering funky-jazzy undercurrents decorate both tracks and heighten the feel; there's an invigorating intensity to Lifecycle's work that's hard to define and even harder to ignore. 'Gluttonous Dub' by Lifecycle is sure to be a 'biggie' on the club scene - with such powerfully bewitching beats and wonderfully sensitive synthesized over-lay 'Gluttonous Dub' and 'Do Not Pass' will bring new warmth and fresh soul to any club or party where the electronic dance form is key.
