- As Beats In Space Records reaches its tenth release it can already look back on a richly varied and consistently high-quality catalogue, from the psychedelic jams of Tornado Wallace and the lovelorn electronic pop of Jee Day, to the spacey electronics of Secret Circuit. This EP from Japanese pair Crystal & S. Koshi sends the label hurtling off into another new direction, namely unashamedly maximalist rave nostalgia, and does so in fine style.
The title track is very much the main event here. It bursts straight from the blocks in a flurry of beats and euphoric vocal snippets, which are joined by an irresistible Todd Terje-style piano riff that joyously carries the track. "From Red To Violet" is more understated. Based on sweet, looping keys and mid-paced drums, it has a slight feel of incidental videogame music to it, making for a pleasant if not terribly compelling comedown from the glorious excesses of the A-side.
