Ann Arbor based, D'Marc Cantu returns on MOS. This new EP, 'Long Weekend', features three new tracks of fully formed house and techno with more than a touch of acid along the way.
The title track opens the EP with a lively house jam that has proud kick drums, plenty of muffled and deeply buried chords and a busy bassline. Next up, ‘1Lb Of Flesh’ is a much more jagged track, mainly because of the manic acid squiggle that runs right through the heart of the slapping snares and icy cold hi hats. Full throttle and as ever delightfully frayed and analogue sounding, it’s a real face melter. ‘Acid Test’ is the quickest of the lot, coming over like a slick, powerful fusion of electro and techno that whips and snaps as Dance Mania style snares flap about above a grilling bassline and acid wiggles in and out.
