Pampa 005

Split platter of contrasting sides from Nathan Fake and DJ Koze, on Koze's Pampa imprint. With 'Xmas Rush' Fake gives extremely tricky triplet grooves built with flailing drums, strange Christman carol-like vocals and blurts of colourful synth.

Koze's tribute to dub poet Michael Smith 'Mi Cyaan Believe It' is a far more comfortable dub-house groove with wandering lead line brilliantly slipping out of tune and drowsy (read: stoned) vocals from Mr Smith.
