DJ Absolutely Shit, the unholy pairing of Ruud Whiting aka Metrodome and Christian Wood aka Il Bosco, return with something properly special on wax. The dastardly duo unload another bonza bucket of bass, breaks and badness, firing up Studio Krust for yet another high-octane session.
Sure to top the Fairground charts and further enrage the Hell's Angels, 'Synthetic Stupidity' sees the pair unleash their full force unabashed, as they hit a purple patch full of new found and frankly quite surprising productivity (rumours of a European-wide sputnik shortage are the likely catalyst).
Fractionally distilling their many collective years of dance music experience into 12 refined pieces of advanced club kinetics that skirt between the syncopated intricacies of breakbeat science and maxed-out 4/4 propulsion.
More hyped-up vox and frantic sampling, more tension, tons of one-finger keyboard melodies, and - as usual - moments of sonic tomfoolery to flummox the assumers.
With their drug debts paid off and a forced clarity of mind, 'Synthetic Stupidity' is a more expansive, deeper and unhurried project; allowing Bosco and Metrodome the space and time to truly deliver the zenith of their sound.
Released by RED LASER Records, this LP is an attempt to make the best dance LP since the Prodigy made "Experience" back in '92. To bring back layers and textures, humour, and old influences, as well as stories that create a world for the listener, leading them to new communities they want to connect with, rather than experiencing one-dimensional, generic, in-trend, dancefloor fodder.
The goals have always been the sense of achievement through the hard work and the pride they take in making the tracks, the joy they get from collaborations with old friends and new and the excitement it brings to the listeners.
Anything else is a bonus.
