RüF Dug 主宰のRUF KUTZからもリリース、マンチェスターのDJで音楽ライターでもあるAbigail WardのプロジェクトGhoßt Assemblyが新しいレーベルBIG STRINGS ATTACHEDから12インチ・リリース。マンチェスターでパレスチナの人々に連帯するデモへの参加を反映した「RESIST!」。Utter Kuntのリミックスともう一曲のオリジナル「I Keep On Making The Same Mistake」を収録しています。
Track List
Fresh from beasting the end-of-year charts with her 'I Miss Your Love' remix project, Ghost Assembly, aka Manchester DJ and writer Abigail Ward, is back with a double A-side: RESIST! / I Keep on Making the Same Mistake.
RESIST! (Extended 12" Mix)
Laid down quickly and angrily after attending a demo in Manchester city centre, RESIST! aims to capture the galvanising spirit of protest and put it on wax.
A 111bpm acid chugger that will leave dancefloors of an ALFOS or Optimo persuasion begging for more, this is uncompromising machine funk at its crudest.
Duelling 303s twist around each other whilst a taut, snaking 707 groove underpins unexpected blasts of Arabic rhythm, almost as if DJ Pierre had remixed 'Get UR Freak On', relocating it to the Middle East.
As a stuttering Harper Hay vocal sample urges us to RESIST!, the track climaxes with an ice-cold acid house string coda banged out on a disobedient synth. Please note: the sub on this record may trouble your duodenum.
RESIST! (Utter Kunt Mix)
The Utter Kunt mix is a sparse and daring Sleng Teng-inspired avant-dub affair strictly for discerning dancefloors only. Improbably combining hints of the Mission Impossible theme, Les Negresses Vertes' 'Zobi La Mouche' and the rough-hewn sampling of 'Duck Rock', this is a radiant obstacle in the path of the obvious. Warning: collectors of On-U, EBM and New Beat could experience a spate of nocturnal emissions upon purchasing this record.
The A-side closes with a BONUS BEATS version of the Utter Kunt Mix: a must-have DJ tool.
I KEEP ON MAKING THE SAME MISTAKE
Picking up the pace to 120, 'I Keep on Making the Same Mistake' sees Ghost Assembly returning to her string-drenched sad banger comfort zone, pairing a chilly breakbeat with a bass riff reminiscent of Joey Beltram having a gut-wrenching cry wank. Keening vocals supplied by Hazel Grove are chopped up, tormented and eventually hurled down a K-hole as the strings build and the drama escalates.
When the credits roll on this cinematic masterpiece we hear a wistful French lesbian talking about 'borrowed bliss'.
A future comedown classic; also sounds good slowed down to 33rpm.
The E.P. signs off with a stunning string-a-pella that will linger long after the needle hits the run-out groove.
LIMITED pressing with sleeve sticker and insert (pictured below)

A-SIDEは、デモのスピリッツを音へと反映させたというBPM111のレフトフィールド、ダーティーなシンセサイザー「RESIST!(抵抗)」を呼びかけ、中東の民族音楽に影響されたパーカッション、アシッド・グルーヴ。Utter Kunt Mixは、EBMやニュービートと、スレンテン・リディムの影響を受けているそうです。B-SIDEの「I Keep On Making The Same Mistake」も90s UKサウンドを彷彿させる、ダブ、プログレッシブなブレイクビート。『名作映画のエンドロールの瞬間のような、切なげなフランス人レズビアンが「借り物の至福」について語るのが聞こえてくる。』 (サイトウ)
