SAFE TRIP

Young Marco

What You Say?

Another super exclusive wax rocket from the Rush Hour extended family, only available to physical record shops (yay!). In this instance (see also: the new Space Grapes record this week) it's Young Marco delivering the goods as he offers up a club extension of his Ministry Of Sound licensed smasher: "What You Say?". It's no wonder the superclub brand has snaffled this one - talk about infectious. THIS my friends is the forthcoming sound of summer '23! A mix of heady vocodered pop vox (think Panda Bear maybe?), French touch-esque filtered fun and a smattering of trance's wide-eyed aesthetic.

It's like Thomas Bangalter, Todd Terje and Sasha all dropped 2CB and made a technicoloured house jam for sun-kissed festivals throughout the upcoming summer...

Available in painfully short supply - you're gonna have to be in quick grabbing this one folks...

Matt says: Super limited, one-time pressing of this summer smasher by Young Marco. MOS have licensed it, but Safe Trip have snuck a cheeky vinyl 12" release from under their noses. Don't sleep!

Ben Penn

Very Important

June 2018, Amsterdam, NL: 12 months ago we concluded a series of experiments with a test subject named Ben Penn. A year on, we decided to repeat this experiment at his Tilburg base. Once again, the results were startling...
.
After being provided with a sizeable dose of an enhanced and notably stronger derivative of 4-Ho Met (codenamed ST011), Penn not only reported intense hallucinations but also enhanced music production capabilities. With the aid of electronic instruments and hardware, he worked quickly, producing both his trademark “higher level inter-dimensional funk” and compositions that defied our previous expectations.

During the early stages of his ST011 experience, Penn completely ignored the provided Rhythm Composer and instead crafted a colourful, humid, jazzy and beat-free track entitled “Nix”, which boasted loose and fluid synthesizer motifs. As his hallucinatory experience intensified, Penn giddily tapped out tropical rhythms on the provided beat-making device, smothering them in alien electronics and sticky melodies. When we asked what this devilishly good cut was called, he simply replied: “Not Important”.

As the test went on and the most intense symptoms died down, Penn was much like his old self. Before the ST011 wore off completely, he was able to finish two examples of his trademark “inter-dimensional funk”: the skewed, introspective, bassline-driven wooziness of “Ben” and the mazy, kaleidoscopic goodness of “People”. The latter composition was particularly potent and ear pleasing, suggesting that his ST011 experience had finished on an intense high

STAFF COMMENTS

Patrick says: More synthetic 4/4 funk from Young Marco's entirely psychedelic Safe Trip imprint. This time round, Ben Penn hits us with a vibrating beatless jam, a tropical tonker and a pair of saucer-eyed steamers (check that bassline on "Ben"!). Grab a copy and rock a dance floor.

Dazion

Dragon Wave/Vx Ltd

    Skipping the completely cryptic sales notes which accompany all Safe Trip 12"s, I'll give you a little audio exposition on this strange groover from Den Hague's Dazion. The A-side slides into tribal territories thanks to tumbling percussion and bubbling electronics, twisted into a hypnotic offering which generally rejects classification. On the flip we have "VX Ltd", a more poignant and melancholic outing, utilising spacey electronic melodies, gently bobbing chords, heart-aching guitar flourishes and a tough but broken rhythm track.

    Patrick says: Dazion follows up his hawt hit on Second Circle with a 5D dance floor bomb on Safe Trip. On the A-side techno-tribal percussion dances around a ritualistic riff, while the B-side brings spaced out electro with a hint of melancholy. Music for the 4-HO-5-MEO crew...
