Info Label: Innovate Recordings Rel. date: 18th Dec 05 Cat No: INN002 Reviewer: Lukasz Napora Reviewed: 19th Dec 05 Format: 12" Rating: Tracklisting Art G & Justin Xara Electro Mix Rhythm Code Remix Original Mix

The group of known Slavs in the electronic scene unceasingly gets bigger and recently there are two Lithuanians aspiring to the assembly. Justas Musteikis (Justin Xara) and Art G known as CCCP have had a digital release on Existence Records but it is Innovate that gave them a chance for a vinyl debut.

And what a debut this is! The “Electro Mix” is a heavy, electro-proggy tune with a humming bass, guitars and loads of samples that give the whole a lot of space. Brilliant.

Rhythm Code decided to add some funk and turn “I Want Your Body” into a tech-tribal piece. A remix worthy of the version reviewed above.

I intentionally didn’t write: “a remix worthy of the original”, because the original in this company turns out a bit weaker. It’s close to the “Electro Mix” but without the power of that bassline. There are also two digital mixes available on the internet with one (“Whispering Mix”) previously included in Chris Salt’s “Future House” compilation.

It’s only a second release of Innovate. A release that should give the label and CCCP a big dose of recognition.
