Lo-Fi Soundsystem
Following up the Intrusion & Paul St. Hilaire project comes a new release from the intrusion imprint which offers a killa selection of steppa's riddims and tropical grooves. Intrusion's ''Velocity In A Minor'' is all about being playful with a sequence, splicing a riddim, stimulating the mind while shuffling your feet. This concludes with the mysterious Lo-Fi Soundsystem up next who make their first 12'' appearance on Intrusion (Previously recording under a variety of names strictly on 45) their powerful ''De Lions Den'' has been given a second lease on life from its scarce 45 release, (which was only available at a few small record shops in Jamaica) this island groove is filled with the dankiest skanks, a melodica on acid and a bassline deeper than the ocean. This mystical midnight groove is given a rework in a 4/4 rhythm and effects from deep space, behind the controls is Intrusion front man Stephen Hitchell who leaves us with a tasty embellishment in fat riddims and icey cold electronics. The B side opens with Mildiou's ''De Natura Rerum'' which crosses into territory comparable to Intrusion's ''Tswana Dub'' or the atmospheric dub side of Rhythm & Sound, a powerful mind melter which does all the rights things in all the right time. The closing ''Oceanview'' paints a picture of just that, leaving you to wander off into the ocean breeze while sinking into its smoky green vapour haze.
