Something Happening Somewhere Netherlands Schallplatten & CDs

Review: Freek Fabricius is at the buttons for the next one on Utrecht's vital Something Happening Somewhere. He is a school teacher, dedicated DJ, label boss and party organiser who also makes cyber rave tunes of the sort found on this EP, which makes his first full release. It's fill with glistening video-game electronics, metallic electro beats and edgy soundscapes that are so bright they almost make you wince. 'Melancholia (Future Is Cancelledit)' is a mix of bristling synths and more plaintive chords while 'Bai Bai Babi' is broken beat body music from a tribe on another planet.
