Anthony Mansfield & Tal M. Klein
AM/TM EP
HEC013
A) Steel the Summer
B1) Front Butt
B2) Rain Dance
On their first outing on Anthony Mansfield’s own Hector Works label the AM/TM duo (that’s Anthony with Aniligital’s Tal M. Klein) come on strong with a righteous three tracker of epic proportions.
“Steel The Summer” brings the summer to you. Think: steel drums, dubbed out boat drinks with tiny umbrellas, analog synths, girls in bikinis wielding M-16′s, disco claps, supernova sunsets, a little bit of ‘oonts,’ and tanks on the beach. Sounds like the perfect getaway from the sounds of yesterday. It’s the party stomping floor filling song that plays so nice you gotta drop it twice. And speaking of bikinis, let’s talk about “Front Butt.” A track with a pretty serious fatness problem. It’s kind of like what happened when electro met disco in a dark bar and they both had a little too much to drink and nine months later the funkiest little monster was born. Heavy electro bass synths meet disco cowbells and DJ trickery for a party in your FUPA. For “Rain Dance” Anthony and Tal seemingly get serious for a second. This is a track for all the heads in the house and fans of something like cosmic tribal disco. It sounds like a disco edit but it’s an original. Big sub bass thunderclaps fuse with rhythmic percussion and sweeping pads, with a big breakdown that brings it all back together again. Make it rain!
Pete Herbert 5/5 “Front Butt has the fonk!!! love it takes me back to trinidad! nice one guys!”
Stevie Kotey 5/5 ”Great stuff chaps, spooky bells! get it ready for Halloween !!”
Graeme (The Revenge) 4/5 “Diggin’ Front Butt & Raindance especially. Thanks.”

HEC011
Anthony Mansfield’s Hector Works imprint is now on release number 11, an EP of tough, percussive house, and the first solo project on the label from the San Francisco mainstay DJ and producer. In an age of less bang for your buck this three tracker bucks and bangs all at once, as it serves up a beefy stew of dislocated disco beats, hefty bass and dubbed out vocal effects.
Side A is populated by the title track, a Joe Bataan referencing dirty disco ditty that’ll have heels clicking and thighs high as it tears along the dotted line of the expressway of love, propelled by rolling congas, a tough kick drum and a pleasantly inappropriate yet nasty bass-line. Please use with caution, but often.
“Bluetooth To Another Dimension” kicks off side one with glitchy bass, a naggingly incessant chime, synthy swirls – or swirly synths — and what sounds like heavy breathing, before descending into an acid accented chunkathon, propped up on tough and strident beats that you won’t be sleeping on. Proceedings close with “Swamp Kat,” perhaps the track that defines the maneuverings of this entire oeuvre, with its dirty amalgam of unhinged vocals, tribal drums and a sparse, highly resonant bass line, which dwells in the mid range and wakes you up every bar or so with a jolting stab. It’s a prime dj tool for those who like to work the funk hard.

Side A1: Sizzling 2 am track with a massive funk bass line, dark keys. Disco meets electro for the kids!.
