My Evil Twiin Dirty Word

Bullet:dodge Records release `Dirty Word' by My Evil Twiin. Continuing the fine form that made 2009 an incredibly successful year for the fledgling label, Bullet:dodge Records start the new decade with a bang, releasing the highly anticipated `Dirty Word' by My Evil Twiin. As the follow up to last year's stunning `Man Made Machines' EP, `Dirty Word' contains all the driving, progressive machine soul that we have to come expect from this production team. And in true Bullet:dodge style the release also features strong remixes from two of the labels big-hitters. The original track is a blistering six and a half minutes of menacing techno futurism. An opening salvo of storming rhythms and fx gives way to a Detroit inspired arpeggio that leads into a perfectly executed breakdown, modulated by a vocal sample that is so twisted, it appears to be the sound of a K-hole Darth Vader discussing House music. The second half of the tune winds down with a DJ friendly arrangement after successfully releasing the remainder of its energy in a way that will guarantee mass hysteria in a club environment. Contributing an idiomatic interpretation, label boss Gareth Whitehead retains much of the originals energy and manages to add a healthy portion of minimalism and tech-house flavour into the bargain. Featuring a shorter but no-less effective middle section break as well as the previously mentioned vocal madness, Gareth's remix uses restrained acid bass, swinging percussion and a razor sharp ride cymbal to drive a subtly swinging, funky groove. Also making a welcome return to action on the label is the irrepressible Hans Bouffmyre. With a work-rate so high it's a wonder he finds time to breath, this young man also had an incredibly fine 2009 with Bullet:dodge having the pleasure of releasing his `Turbulence' EP. With two subtle vocal samples oscillating against each other to underpin the groove, Hans keeps his remix simple with a clean production style and effective use of fx. Short controlled bursts of energy drive this track and the overall result adds a certain depth to the release. Bullet:dodge Records say farewell to the noughties and start 2010 as they mean to continue with the awesome `Dirty Word' by My Evil Twiin featuring remixes from Gareth Whitehead and Hans Bouffmyhre.
