Miskate / Socks And Sandals - Macrofun Vol. 2 (10")
label . microcosm music
release date . may 2005
Volume 2 of Macrofun brings us stalwarts of the Northeast techno scene, each contributing edit heavy microfunk. Miskate, hailing from Philadelphia's Foundsound family, presents a whirry, quirky, bass groover, with clipped vocal refrains and elastic effects.
A steady undertone and thick blocky snares hold it all together, with varying found sounds floating on top. Daydreaming is perfect fodder for a DJ set and home listening experience alike. Socks and Sandals' flipside is filled with techno stabs and mechanical churns amidst a lilting, bass heavy punch. Dubby granular delays and proper ebb and flow fill out the stereo field, with hints of Detroit, yet remaining entirely its own beast.
