Max Watts at it again! The Hamtramck-via-Tenesse producer has certainly been piquing our interest with his authentic revisitation of naughties tribal techno, and now it seems he's turned his attention to more housey tropes. Sugarbeats & Structural Claps are invited along with their cheeky 160bpm footwork flavoured joint to boot!

"Small Axe" traverses a mystic plane between deep house and techno - it's Detroitian strings, UK bleeps and gliding sub bass an intoxicating formular for any lover of dance music through the ages. "Dimensions" is a thumping tribal jam, with catchy congas and background chants bringing forth an eruption of squigley house grooves later on in the track. "Cherry" is a squashed backroom jacker, with a subtly broiling bassline underpinning the fizzy drums and tight vocal chops. "Car Show" gets the elbows out for a highly swung number with agro bass plumes before Sugarbeats & Structural Claps finish off proceedings with an eerie, pitch black footwork jam.

Hot stuff! Limited quants - don't sleep! 

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: New school Texan wizard Max Watt continues to pique our interest and stimulate our dancefloors. After authentically recreating the sounds of late 90s tribal techno; the producer turns his hand to stripped back tech house inna kinda Perlon / Plus 8 stylee. The results are both infectious and attention grabbing - possibly one of the most exciting producers around at present.
