Z@P

Uruguay's finest house and techno export Z@p continues his welcome return to active service - at the freakier end of the scene - with this spot on Cartulis Music. ''Tracid'' has a clue in its title, and it doesn't take long to detect the brazen 303 baiting taking place through the core of this peppy workout. It's an effective weapon used in just the right way that should get bodies wriggling with approval. ''That Break'' meanwhile diverts into a kind of braindance territory with the titular drums matched with more wobbly synth leads and spooked out pads, and then ''Acid Rhytms'' rounds the EP off with a more reflective cut for calmer moments in the dance.
