Rubber Spanner “Drop Like Flies” EP

 

 

Rubber Spanner is back with the release of his 3rd EP “Drop Like Flies” on Jet Set Trash! The London based producer decided to pick up his guitar once again and return to his Punk Rock and Metal roots (Drop Like Flies, Overdrive) while keeping his great feel for the melodic and catchy Electro House feel and groove (Madmen, Himalaya) he showcased in his last EP “Shit Happens”. The opening tracks “Drop Like Flies” and “Overdrive” are the aggressive banging kind of electro-punkstep, combining guitars, vocals, distorted synths and some really clever lyrics too. 2 tracks that will definitely make you move, whether “moving” means jump and bounce like crazy, mosh or dance. “Madmen” follows a more melodic but still dirty and full sounding melodic Electro House direction and is the track to sweat to and play in every club and party, whereas “Himalaya” is the one that will stick with you after the first listen. Its great catchy melodies, hooks and atmospheric parts will suck you in and lift you as high as the title suggests. Last but not least, the closing track “Satanic Synths From Outer Space” isn’t just a cool track title but also a great track and Rubber Spanner’s approach of what techno should sound like. The great pumping bass line and driving beat will make you go insane and are guaranteed to fill any dance floor on which techno has a rightful place! Heavygrinder and Laforcah have are also onboard with their remixes on “Drop Like Flies” and have taken the track in a banging Electro House and Electro Punk direction respectively. The remixer line up is completed by Gor FLsh who remixes “Overdrive” and is once again out for blood and Soul Machine with an atmospheric tech-electro-rock rework of “Satanic Synths From Outer Space”.
