Halfway House vinyl

Disco Bloodbath have successfully expanded operations from a long running club night into a fully fledged label, the transition documented by a series of excellent 12"s that utilise the cast of local talented contemporaries such as G&S, Capracara, Waze & Odyssey and Jamie Blanco. There's also been room for in-house Bloodbathers Damon Martin and Ben Pistor to develop their own production palette with equally impeccable results. The label's fifth release in as many months introduces an element of intrigue with the hitherto unknown curry enthusiast Al Gobi at the helm for the woozy jacker "Halfway House", a track that unfurls with stealthy precision from the deep, throbbing groove into a crescendo of piano stabs. The expert remix commissioning continues apace too, with the rasping kick drum workout from the previously MIA Wild Geese battling it out in our affections with the 11 minutes of steely Sheffield electro funk from the Crooked Man!
