Brame & Hamo take full control with their debut release on their fresh, personal imprint. Trants is awash in a retro-futurist haze, flavors of early bleep techno, dusty drums, and outright trance flavors provide the ingredients for a euphoria-inducing trip. Things get much tougher throughout Hurt You, which begins with an immediate strike of chunky percussion, jacking Chi-town rhythms, and a menacing organ line. Clarence lives up to it's Smooth Mix subtitle, as a lounging piano line gently gives way to vibrant sax and a soothing female vocal sample, while still maintaining an irresistible groove.
