Jay Tripwire, Quidders, Arion, Ferg ‎– Mech02 [Méchante Recordings] MECH02

A1: Jay Tripwire - "Fevr Rising" A2: Quidders - "Cop A Shot" B1: Arion - "Raw Material" B2: Ferg - "Fly Together" - Second instalment of the Mechante Recordings V/A series, following a first disc out in February. Jay Tripwire - Vancouver producer, 25-plus years deep in the game with his tribal and Detroit-influenced tech house across Superfreq, Akbal and others - opens the A curtain with 'Fevr Rising', the core concept of the "fever" having appeared countless times before in his discography. Quidders takes the A2 with 'Cop A Shot', Arion's 'Raw Material' holds the B1, and Ferg closes with 'Fly Together' - beyond Tripwire, these three contributors sit far enough outside the documented record for us to venture: this is a record about the music, not the names.
