La Musica Es Dios
UFO Inc.
TBR: 25th November


This fresh and experimental record label headed up by Ellen Allien herself aims to give artists a space to explore their darker and dirtier sides. Where roughness and resonance combine to produce huge and inventive audio sculptures, UFO Inc. definitely holds the key to the best seats in the house. This new single holds the number three spot on the UFO Inc. catalogue and offers three exclusive mixes. With two originals and a remix of the A side, beating a path through the jungle of electronic music composition has never felt more enjoyable.


With banging drums that resonate on the high-end matched with pulsing synths that call out like an alarm, the music begins. A frantic pace frames the wobbly delivery, pushing beats through a regulatory tempo masher with each new layer. Piling on the drums and pulsing synths, a huge stodgy bass-line rips through to march in a melodic shoving match. La Musica Es Dios or Music Is God takes us through a techno inspired journey via blips and beeps fed through retro technology and space-age devices. Heavy on the dance and kinetic enough to fill the space, this exciting and high-energy track is really memorable.


Next, a twangy bass-line crawls over a staggered drum riff. Sloshy metal-work spills over the sides as a punchy bass drum kicks through in quick nuggets of pace. New percussive sections are added, rolling taps and anxious half-beats fill the space with a continual pressure. Hypnotic repetitions bring on a swirling quality that unravels gradually to fade into distant rumblings. Only a bass remains among ambient effects before a new sonic injection of rhythm takes control. Junge Sein has a slight drum n bass edge which rattles along an electronica laboratory wall.


We return to the framework of La Musica Es Dios for a new mix. That hypnotic synth tone projects a fast tempo across the airwaves while a pushy drum gathers itself behind. As the energy rises and the velocity of the journey switches into a new dimension, the layers of rhythm strike resonant angles on the surface. Subtle plucky bass dances in the corners while a compressed vocal sample begins to cast a phonic palette. Moody synths craft disparate atmosphere along lines of neatly portioned sky. Surging and rotating, the music elevates the energy with whopping bass and dirty edges which scrape along each other's sides.
