Dirk Da Davo is one of the founders of The Neon Judgement and these days well known as one of the beat masters of Neon Electronics. With Formshift (the alter ego of Dutchman Gavin Bucktrout) he releases this new single on his label Dancedelic D, which contains two songs.

Already when he was 13, Gavin played vinyl records, and later he stood behind the turntables at big parties and festivals as D-Spirit. In those days he met Dirk Da Davo who immediately was keen on his electronic thumps. This meeting is now leading to a first collaboration.

Crash is somewhere between EBM and dance/techno. The drum beat comes from the old EBM days, tight and repetitive, with a solid pace, complemented with dance and techno elements.

The same monotonous drumbeat also forms the basis of Overtime. The vocals remind me of Apoptygma Berzerk and a bit of Praga Khan. The song has a quiet part, after which the drum rhythms take over again.

You feel that there is a musical chemistry between these two guys, and I think an album is an option!

Dirk Da Davo is één van de oprichters van The Neon Judgement en ondertussen ook meer dan bekend als één van de beatmasters van Neon Electronics. Samen met Formshift (het alter ego van de Nederlander Gavin Bucktrout) brengt hij op zijn label Dancedelic D deze single uit waarop twee songs staan.

Gavin draaide al vanaf zijn dertiende zijn eerste vinyl en op latere leeftijd speelde hij op grote fuiven en festivals onder de naam D-Spirit. In die dagen liep hij Dirk Da Davo tegen het lijf, die meteen weg was van het elektronische dreunwerk van Gavin. De ontmoeting heeft nu deze eerste single tot gevolg.

Crash houdt het midden tussen EBM en dance/techno-elementen. De drumbeat komt uit de oude EBM-doos, strak en repetitief en met een stevig tempo. Elementen uit dance en techno vloeien er mooi overheen.

Eenzelfde monotone droge drumbeat vormt ook de basis van Overtime. Vocaal doet de zang me wat aan Apoptygma Berzerk en flarden van Praga Khan denken. Het nummer heeft een rustige passage, om dan weer naar drumritmes terug te keren.

Het is duidelijk voelbaar dat er sprake is van een muzikale klik tussen deze twee mannen, en wat mij betreft mag dat ook in een album resulteren!
