(100% Pure)

2000 And One lights the wick

Bart Skils’ eventual introduction of Amsterdam tech brand Voltt to the world of compilations was a success. In a quick turnaround he’s given the keys to 100% Pure owner Dylan Hermelijn, better known as 2000 And One, to drive the second instalment. As a back-to-back comparison, this comp has much more dancefloor heat than Skils’ effort; grinding, funky tech immediately sets sail to any hopes of another minimal disc. Those hopes won’t be remembered long though, Hermelijn’s sounds are ones of interest, with funk efforts from Julien Chaptal and Mendo playing with the tribalism of Steve Lawler, before trading blows with abrasiveness of Dennis Ferrier. On first inspection all this action seems a little careless, like there’s an obvious lack of Skils on programming (excuse the pun). A closer look reveals an intelligent motive – there’s no point during the disc where you’re waiting out a track. And on a single-disc mix, that’s exactly what you want.
