I've said it before but this is worth a repeat: It's always an absolute delight for me to read them e-mails from the Australian label Sweat It Out. In 9 cases of 10 they contain good music and in 10 cases of 10 amazing cover artwork.
This time was no exception of course. From the depths of the nocturnal jungle, where lions are not the biggest cats and silence not the greatest calm, comes 'Night of the Hornheadz', where basslines, horns and appegiated? synthlines sound the wild of the night. Yeah, I'm in love with this new single from Sydney's bass bastions of bounce Act Yo Age featuring Brooklyn based Drop The Lime and with the cover with the crazy, but yet not all old nu-rave-ish, colour explosion on the Act Yo Age AM90.
Yeah yeah, ur grannie always told u that "U shouldn't judge the book by it's cover" but u know what? Ur grannie was wrong. Yeah I'm well aware that I'm sort of shallow and tend to pay attention to details a bit too far but listen up, covers do mean a great deal, they can make u or break u so, I simply wish that some people would start to listen and stop yanking out horrible covers. This goes for everything, digital releases, mixtapes, albums, whatever... Put an effort to it and the outcome will be mush greater.
However, as always Sweat It Out! also offers some heavy remixes, Bird Peterson takes it up a notch with some very BIG bass juxtaposed with some dope breaks and moroder-esque-ness, Dubsided’s Sticky K heads straight for the throne with some unrelenting beats and rhythms, Sweat’s own DCUP drops his trademark disco flavours on the mix to full effect, Acid Kids get all techno while Spruce Lee takes the indie-nu-disco approach with great success.
