Bill Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Hujaboy featuring Avalon & Earthling Psy Collective Part 01 Tip Records Tracklist: 1. Rogue Star 2. Fuck Yeah! It's hard to believe that Nano Records once released the awesome Avalon album, "Distant Futures." Nowadays, the label is where great full-on artists go to get sterilized. Take this year's Nano-released Beatport single "Modern Age" - a collaboration between Avalon and Symbolic - and it is ho-hum, big-room psy party club noise designed to sound like the dozens of other generic full-on tracks that will be played before the evening is up. Take Avalon, though, and team him with the great Hujaboy and release that work on Raja Ram's legendary, we-give-a-shit-about-psytrance Tip Records and you will once again find everything great about the man behind the "Distant" masterpiece. "Rogue Star" is dance-til-your-face-falls-off full-on with loads of energy and excitement awaiting behind classy build-ups that you can barely see coming. This one is dynamite! The B-Side teams Hujaboy with Earthling and the result is quite good if significantly less enthralling. The Hujaboy/Avalon tag-team is a tough act to follow and "Fuck Yeah!" suffers a bit as a result. Still, the energy is prevalent and some of the effects are a lot of fun even if the "Fuck Yeah" sample of the title is a bit silly. I like this idea of a psy collective and wonder if it will be Hujaboy teaming with friends on Part 2 or if a different variation will be used. Trust in Tip, I will, though, for they have rarely let me down in the past. In here, unlike with their Nano counterparts, fuck yeah, there is some full-on gold inside.

Shpongled247 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I just discovered that red wine burns when it comes out through your nose. Lol It is too true though. Nano now is something I actively avoid, if I can. Earthling has been playing a lot of sets in Goa this season and so far a few I have caught have avoided the dreaded nano curse of every track sounding the same/using the same effects/sounds etc. Maybe there is light at the end of the tunnel. Who would have thought TIP could possibly start a resurgence of any sort a few years back? :0 Im glad they are trying! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
