...the lane, the debut single from Siopis. You may know Siopis as Silversurfer, one half of the dynamic duo Kiki and Silversufer (responsible
for killer 12's on Crosstown Rebels and BPitch Control), but it's time to forget everything you know.
'Penny from the lane' is something altogether different, a blinding blast of genre-bending, futurist dance music dressed with the lascivious
vocals of Mr Brean. Are you ready for this? From the very beginning, we know we're in for something utterly unique - Siopis lays a down loose tech-funk rhythm
and thrumming bassline, before a whirl of juddering, speaker-rippling FX hail the entrance of Mr Brean, whose Baltimore booty bass-style vocals take centre
stage, before Siopis steers us down a twisted acid-house backroad, held up by dissonant synth stabs and smothered in gloriously disorienting echo and delay.
Brean is back for B1 'Klein Mine', but this time his vocals are cut up and abstracted, set against a sparse, dubbed-out rhythm replete with warped
sub-bass.
