No Pain In Pop

Overfly

Though you don’t need to be any messiah to jump and presume Martyn’s Great Lengths may well be one of the finest releases of recent years comes its arrival in March, you might need to have been based near the myrtle Thames to have checked out the Dutchman’s flying set at FWD last night. As with TRG and 2562 taking liberally from anything jungle through to garage, Martyn’s set featured those usual slabs of techno besides pinching 2-step, scything Basic Channel analogue static eating away at El-B’s sultry snaps, 3024 holding hands with SW2. It all certainly got Jammer pent up, the Murkle Man emerging to grab the mic from The Spaceape’s clutches, chatting over the back end of a Kode9 set that moved from a solid hour of jungle to more lunken dub (it should be mentioned that Jammer excitedly proclaimed new love for the ‘genius’ of Joker’s ‘Digidesign‘).

Also equally impressed has been Francois K, so enamored with Martijn Deykers that he took him on to curate the house forefather’s Deep Space night in New York.

With Great Lengths but a few weeks away Rough Trade have this exclusive mix from Martyn, available as a bonus lure when you buy or pre-order the album from the record shop. Familiar faces feature; all pull spotters guides from crumpled in pockets.

And big up Rough Trade!
