BOOMIN'
Diamond Ice - Funk 4 da trunk - Metatronix
Absolutely boomin, and stunning in its originality, ghettotech lives up to its promise with the uncompromising and instrumental, funk 4 da trunk CD. Diamond Ice does for ghettotech, what Maurizio did for techno, evoking the expected, nods to Bel Isle and Kraftwerk by way of Bamabattah as well as the unexpected; musique concrete, glitch and downtown minimalism, for a start. This is not your average foul mouthed techno jackhammer a la DJ Assault et al, this is Hoochie musik that will appeal to the Hardwax posse as much as to those legendary strippers with PHDs.

Standouts include the opener, Blinga - dubspace invaded by sci-fi organ and shrill pitches,meshing and slowly building to climax, like a virtual lapdance at the carnival of souls. Karats - supafunk percolates unda warm Jaun Atkins-like synth chords, buzzes, glitches, breaks down and jiggies on out. Diamond Bezels - a hypnodic and futuristic hip-hop bolero, testing your system wit da heavyweight bass! Blinding lights - a virtual rainforest in habited by the lost tribes of booty. 12 Deep - 12 fathoms of drexciyan depth cover a jitterfunk dirge complete with melodica dub-stylee. But the undisputed bomb is the Iceman's Diamond Run - a must be heard mix of bubblin latin booty bass with elements of musique concrete that will send SND and the 12k crew running for the nearest convent!

In all honesty, I felt that two of the cuts were not up to the incredible standard of the others - S.O.L. - where sampled Spanish guitar meets ODB on the trans-europe express, as it sounds too much like similar minded hiphop and the last cut Almost there, which sounds like the lost episode of the power puff girls. But overall they detract little from the Diamonds fiercely original onslaught. My main complaint with this CD is that it is too short, but there are enough ideas here to flesh out half a dozen CDs, all of the cuts could have been doubled in length. Being deep into dub, I couldn't resist but blend a bit o sleng teng into the background of 12 Deep. This stuff just begs to be remixed by the technomeisters (Hardwax? Please?). While most Ghettotech is just foreplay, you are guaranteed to score with Diamond Ice.
