What we say
 This record left our Mr Productino feeling happy.
South Central 7" on Regal. An industrial sounding melodic techno mash up with distorted vocals and banging beats. Sounds like a party in a foundry with sparks and dangerous metal chips flying everywhere. Reminds me of Atari Teenage Riot or some other high octane bomb. Aptly named "Machine". B-side "Revolution" is a slower more shoe gazy affair.
What the label says:
The hooded duo will be mixing up their glitch rock spectacular with their inimitable Lap top & Key board set in between live performances of The Enemy, Lethal Bizzle and the Wombats.
The latest single from the Regal Singles Club is AA side ‘Machine’ / ‘Revolution’ from South Central. The Brighton-based duo dubbed - “the British Justice”, by Eddy Temple Morris, Xfm - are a Band/DJ production team who are leading the vanguard of the new generation of artists melding both indie and electro influences. South Central rose to prominence providing innovative dance cuts for the likes of Shitdisco, Sunshine Underground and The Maccabees to name but a few. This already illustrious list is set to expand over the summer months with Twisted Charm, Dandi Wind and Shychild locked and loaded ready for the most demanding summer dance floors!
‘Machine’ is immense, a heady surge of unstoppable, warped Electro. Cerebral as well as Fabric friendly, both ‘Machine’ and the equally glorious flipside ‘Revolution’ were apparently inspired by the work of two Philosopher/Mystics of the ‘Fouth Way’ from the turn of 20th Century, G.I. Gurdjieff and P.D. Ouspensky. ‘Machine’ refers to Gurdjieff’s theory that the ordinary man is a machine who is only capable of reacting to what acts upon him. ‘Revolution’, with its repeated refrain “Can’t Stop The Wheel’”, is a reference Ouspensky’s only novel, ‘The Strange Life of Ivan Osokin’, which is based on the theory of eternal recurrence (think ‘Ground Hog Day’). The title ‘Revolution’ also pays homage to South Central’s favourite system kicking Psychedelic rock anthem from Spacemen 3.
It is also common knowledge that Gurdjieff expounded the idea that mankind’s souls existed only as a source of food for the Moon… fear of becoming lunar lunch won’t be enough to stop South Central reaching for the sinister satellite! |
