Alec Falconer, Bodin – The Void Project V.P.002

The second split release from fast-rising Belgian label The Void Project boasts tracks from Traffic co-founder Bodin and sometime Ext and Entity London artist Alec Falconer. The latter begins by offering a nod towards his work with UKG revivalists Phone Traxx on the aptly titled – and really rather good – “Wobble Roller”, before peppering a chunky bassline and crunchy house drums with low-register organ stabs and occasional breakbeat blasts on “Bounce”. Over on side B Traffic Records co-founder Bodin takes over and offers up two tracks that make the most of the Roland TB-303 (or at least something that sounds like it). “Sluga” is a bona-fide jacker with deep organ riffs, while “Hopez” is a snappier affair powered forward by a seriously squelchy bassline.
