MISBHV003: Radio Hell
MISBHV recordings presents: RADIO HELL This summit of two dance music heavyweights brings out the essence of their musical paths. Listening to new collaboration specially commissioned by MISBHV recordings one may wonder why is it actually the very first time DJ Hell and Matt “Radio Slave” Edwards worked together? Here, two dance music heavyweights join forces to take us on a 20-minute trip to an adult-themed clubland fantasy. Two tracks here, each clocking over 10 minutes, read like a blueprint for late 20-century club music, with its underground roots and the sound of early techno, Italo or EBM. Despite its somewhat darker shades, this is 100% hedonistic music to sweat to, be it in a tiny basement or a proper big room rave. Slamming beats are complimented by obligatory, seducing female vocal samples, while synth arpeggios and buzzsaw hooks lead to eye-watering, massive breakdowns. It’s also fascinating to hear two decades of club music merging into something new without losing its origins - Hell’s 90’s, Italo-rooted, electroclash-defining kinky dungeon sound meets Radio Slave’s more minimalistic yet mercilessly effective beats, re-defining classic sounds and delivering something solid for the ever-changing landscape of today’s dance music.
