Geoffroy is the head of the Mugwump project (a moniker he initiated, initially working with fellow Belgians Spirit Catcher and now pursued with Olivier Grégoire aka Kolombo, his main partner) and he has been a long resident (as a Dj off course) in one of the most famous Belgian house clubs for several years.
I must confess that I’ve already liked a lot their 1st release on Kompakt (Meditation Ep), but after I’ve listened “Fears Inc” I was sure that this was a great project. The A side displays a cool deep electro house tune reminding us some of the best acid tracks of the 90’s. “Mugwump roll out a majestic, sanguine deephouse track that builds up to total frenzy including bloodcurdling screams and all”. In the flipside “Nothing Without You” appears in a great frenzy diving deep through some acid states that also make us remind the beginning of dance music. Do you remember ACID HOUSE? this is IT, filled with the proper new century beat and some hypnotic states that will drive you mad! This is certainly my favorite track of the Ep and the reason of why I’m buying this one. Already being played by Michael Mayer, Superpitcher and others. Mugwump will be releasing their next Ep at Cocoon (”Mindflexes”)… be aware!

Kolombo is a producer well known among the mnmland. We have been covering some of his best releases and in this year he already released two Eps, one on Bluffin Records (Tweedle Dee) and the other on Turbo Records, a Montreal based record label that started out in March of 1998 as a partnership between two friends and DJs, Mark Dillon and Tiga.. old school! While “Tweedle Dee” is a mysterious confusion of weird sounds (not exactly a master piece), “Sniff Ep” is a classic release marked by delicious minimalist constructions and really progressive rhythms. A1 track is a really progressive blow tune  marked by a sample recall us to some illicit happenings. It’s very well constructed and will have a certain success in the dancefloors. “Pique Nique” in the B side is the most strong track in the Ep and the real reason of why I’m posting this here. This one has an awesome trippy sub bass groove that is able to eat your mind up. The crispped synths are also delightfull and the all elements seem to combine perfectly, a real brain teaser. Release nrº 61 on Tiga’s Turbo Records. Snifffff
