Han Haak.Rusted Robot EP- (We Are Here Music)

by Priya Sen July 14, 2014

Releasing on Mexican imprint ”We Are Here Music”, the London based Han Haak has my thumbs up from the word go. He is the freshest talent to hit my ears in a while now and I’ve been knocking around his sounds ever since. Here’s one helluva hot-stepper with ”Rusted Robots”, right up there and I see Han comes in to his own with this underground gem. He delivers an unputdownable tune for the dance floors. There’s a buoyancy in the bass line propped up with sturdy beats that has a subterranean feel to it. Remarkable jacking pulse, an intense interior filled with menacing soft clatters, around the organ like pads that oozes in and out and all you can think of is how good this steady beast is. Flip around to Quivver’s- Q-Dubz Mix of the original and then you get a no nonsense crisp outing. There’s a whole loada attitude that fastens itself with his handiwork and the remix is a lot more driving staccato fullness, designed to annihilate the floor. Bursts of fizz, crackle and a percussive feel at the back, complete this addictive Quivver stamp.
Turn to Pete Bones remix of ”Rusted Holiday”, the tune quickly nudges itself to be my favorite of the pack. The groovy sense is so damned alluring..and rich. Somewhere along the middle of the track something fabulous appears, there’s a thickish melodic line with pure bass jarring thuds…yesss..and I’m sold. A total treat for me.
By the time I get to the Midnight Perverts Galactic Mix of ”Rusted Robots”, I am actually mulch. Following the footsteps of the original, has to be out of the ordinary and Hell! the take on it is just subliminal damage. The darkness of this offering is gob-smackingly furious. Underground scorched with it’s palette full of slower, murkier bass filth..is navigated with strength and a shiny synthy face. There’s a sputtering, bubbling melodic pad that says luscious. It’s like sitting on a fat cloud…
Way to go boys!! 🙂
