I love being proved wrong. I trust that it will happen again in approximately one hour, when England go out and tonk Slovenia in the world cup (respect to all the Ljubljana crew, of course, but we have to beat you).

Anyway, I had never been massively into Raffertie - had him pegged as noisy fury, basically, but I've just been forwarded his remix of the appallingly named Cocknbullkid, and I've got to say, it's actually really good. No fury, just loads of space, deep subs, and jangling percs. Downloaded - the full 320 is up for grabs, you can get it from the player below. A good reminder to not be so set in one's ways, I guess, so if you hadn't been paying attention, go and have a look through his soundcloud page - I'm just off to listen to some Borgore....

Review: Raffertie 'String Theory / 7th Dimension' [Planet Mu]

December 8

I must admit that I cued this release up in iTunes with a certain sense of trepidation; I’m not really a massive fan of raved up wobbles – being far too old and jaded for that sort of thing – and Raffertie has taken that sound probably about as far as it can go on the previous bits of his I’ve heard. So, I was pleasantly surprised when the two tracks here turned out to be much deeper and more spacious than I had expected. ‘String Theory’ rolls out with an echoing bleep and pad vibe reminiscent of classic Warp Records, before it drops into a bizarre churning subsonic bassline and swirly layers of effected vocals. I say drops; you probably wouldn’t really get away with playing this in a club, but it’s prime headphone tackle. The flipside ‘7th Dimension’ is more ravetacular, with wailing 80s r’n’b vocals cut up all over a hybrid electro / dubstep track, a huge breakdown and some crunching sub hits. Overall I'd say this probably isn't my favourite Mu release in recent weeks and months, but if you are hungry for something fresh then it's certainly worth a look. The artwork is lovely as well.

'String Theory / 7th Dimension' is released via Planet Mu on 18th January 2010.
