- Original Mix
- Nathan Fake Remix

| |
 We received the new release from James Holden’s label, Border Community a little bit late. The record was released more than month ago, though it’s interesting enough to serve it right. Right and even twice, because it’s my second approach to this review and that was caused by the vinyl labels which do not say what track is where. Good to have a press release, but I’m afraid the record stores’ clients will not receive it. Avus, whose real name is Scott Edwards, is still quite new on the producers’ market. So far only known from “A Dark Purpose” release from Mindset Recordings. Apart from that, Scott alongside with Gwill Morris, presents his house music broadcast on Oxfords’s Oxygen FM. And he originally comes from a small English village, just like Nathan Fake. “Real” in its original mix is a quite calm track of very mysterious nature. First violin here is an amazing, spread on a full scale, melody of bass and slightly broken hi-hats. Further appear a very warm and hypnotizing sound, which in combination with the background, now full of strange noises, makes completely unforgettable atmosphere.
On the flip side, Nathan Fake most of all presents his ability to break the rhythm. It begins quite calmly, from acid and old-skull bassline and a very techy percussion, which further turns into a true “drummer’s” show. The rhythmics of the production is very heavily torn, which is emphasized once by broken hi-hats, and another time by galloping drums. The beat calms down exactly when the feeling of anxiety starts to grow with every second. And the track is haunted by some acid sounds, just like the ones from Japanese horrors made in 70th. Show me a daredevil who will play this version in a club in Warsaw.
Border Community struts on the path which runs on house and techno borderland, and it seems to be moving forward more and more brave. I’m only going to say that I’m really happy about that, because I’ve got slowly enough of nondescript progressive productions. Next on the list is Petter with his 6-tracks EP, which I can’t wait to have.
