 Lostep is an Australian duo of two great artists: a young and very productive producer, Luke Chable and an excellent DJ, Phil K. The first one composes in the progressive mood, which sounds very close to Holden’s works. Another one represents the Australian breakbeat scene and he’s been famed from the rocky insets in his electronic sets. Burma – the Asian country of thousand pagodas. Owing to complete isolation from the Western World, the life there looks like the whole civilization was never advancing. On the one side, beauty and splendor, on the other horrible indigence. The dictatorship and the military regime over it all. Lostep paints this scenery with music and I have to say they do it very accurately. The breaky background in the original version is prettily filled by the sounds of Hindu instruments together with distorted singing of a woman. All of this sound like a cry for help. The atmosphere of anxiety is even growing in the breakdown, where the men give loose to guitar and percussion solos. In the first part of the “Lostep’s Stoned Immaculate Mix”, the artists completely gave up using any heavy percussion instruments, accentuating rhythm only with hi-hats. The beat further appears, giving to the track a touch of Deviant Electronics’ works from the album titled “Blunt Instruments”. A casual concurrence of titles? The third piece is a main theme from the debut Lostep’s single called “The Roots”. However the original is over a year old, the reprise here perfectly fits the whole single atmosphere. Summing up, the excellent original mix and two average tracks in a bonus. Maybe Luke and Phil suffer of lack of new ideas? Who knows I’m right...
