What their label says...
a low-slung exercise in dark and dirty arpeggiated sleaze, 'maximus'
marries a sparse bubble-groove that creeps up behind you and licks your
ear with a very 'purple' vocal performance by sam sparro to devastating
effect. the resulting track is something akin to 'kiss' - era prince
and friends dirty dancing at a toga party while ancient rome burns
around them. on the flipside, beni and nicky night time give 'maximus'
a night-time redub rubdown, taking the track away from the creepy funk
freak and towards a straighter dancefloor manipulation. also featured
is 'fringe element', which encapsulates the feeling of surfing on a
shooting star like never before, with beni sitting proudly at the
controls. an electronic orchestra of descending basslines, vocoder
snippets, bleeps and acid squeaks, 'fringe element' caps off another
compelling chapter in beni's lifelong voyage through dance.
