Jody "Fingers" Finch: "Jack Your Big Booty"

While most DJs will undoubtedly purchase this for the title track with its stripped-down percussion and slightly risque lyrics, it’s “Whistle Worm” which has me most excited.

Intrusion: Intrusion

Echospace’s last vinyl release was Intrusion. Steve Hitchell kindly gave me a preview of an upcoming CD version. According to Hitchell, this is deeply personal material produced in the early nineties but once thought lost. To me, “Intrusion Dub” feels like a step forward, incorporating reggae elements with short bits of horn amidst the usual techno beat and low bass rumbles.
