If Binary Star needs an introduction then Ben Burns and Jake Smith aka Subtropic & Burns certainly do not. With tracks already out on 2-Wars and Sonic Tonic, production credits for Southern Fried’s Caged Baby and Brighton’s Stompaphunk crew plus a string of high profile remixes under their belts then you can be certain their debut 12” on Heavy Disco is going to be nothing short of quality.
Teaming up with Jim Attrell, based at the Third
Degree Studio, Brighton Binary Star is a production collective combining their talents. Their bootleg release on the medcab presents… series “Left Eye” first brought their sharp funky sound to our attention gaining the support of many breaks stalwarts including Will Saul, Krafty Kuts and fellow Brighton boy Skool of Thought.
Diamond Cut/Electrolux is their debut release on Heavy Disco and our second 12”
in as many months.
Lead track on this 2-tracker is the beautifully crafted, ethereal Diamond Cut. Solid, slick beats with a deep progressive bassline; this track is sheer quality as it carves its way into your consciousness. The massive breakdown sets the perfect tone and will have the dance floor convinced that you’re the most bloody fantastic DJ ever as the electronic wonders of Binary Star make way for a full and sensual sound explosion!
Already Diamond Cut has lent itself well to the sets of some of the finest Worldwide DJs including, and not limited to, James Zabelia, Hernan Cattaneo, Anthony Pappa,
the mighty Santos and Precision Cuts. It may not be big basslines but you can guarantee it will still get big reactions.
On flip make way for the Meat Katie favoured Electrolux. Phat body popping, booty shaking
beats, and fucked up humanised washing machines, proper filthy electro style!
