GUNSHIP / LITTLE BOOTS

ABOUT THIS ITEM

With his remixes of House Of House and Rocha still selling like hot cakes, it's time for the next instalment of Harvey's unique and twisted vision - Locussolus, a new project of original Bassett material. Imagine the soundtrack to a new version of Drugstore Cowboy, set in the future and centered around the neon infused landscape of Tokyo’s nocturnal underbelly... Harvey calls it Future Primitive: made for the dancefloor and the bathroom floor at the same time. "Gunship" leads the way to the dancefloor with some bleepy techy house moves. I love the slight electro bump to this, which gives the track a bit of swing, and the crazy female vocal parts, which rescue it from being a pure heads-down, lost-in-the-smoke moment (although that would be good enough!). "Little Boots" is the bathroom, or perhaps the sitting room track - definitely not one for the dancefloor (unless you're in that glued-to-the-floor K-hole mode!). Head nodding beats, skittering percussion, rock guitar riffs and more female vocals add to the Balearic-psyche feel. You don't need me to tell you that EVERYONE has been all over this, but here's a list of the great and the good DJ spinners who are playing it anyway: Prins Thomas, Francois K, Rob Da Bank, Aeroplane, The Idjut Boys, Chris Duckenfield, Ivan Smagghe, Mike Simonetti, Simon Lee (Faze Action), Jonnie Wilkes (Optimo), Ashley Beedle, Liv Spencer (House of House, Still Going), Ewan Pearson, Lovefingers, Matt Edwards (Radio Slave), Tom Middleton, Mo Morris (A Mountain Of One), Severino Panzetta (Horsemeat Disco), Luke Solomon, Richard Sen, Mock & Toof, Soft Rocks, I:Cube, Tim 'Love' Lee and many others.
