The Lobster Theremin founder delivers two slamming house tracks.
A white-label release that's also available digitally, The Conditioning Track presents two versions of the title tune. Both are stomping, garage-tinged house tracks with rumbling basslines and shuffling percussion, tougher than most Lobster Theremin records. The "North London" version is the sunnier option, thanks to organ chords that could have been sampled from a '90s Jovonn classic. The high-end sounds are crunchy, as though they were run through Bitcrusher. The same goes for the piercing hi-hats on the "NYC Mix," which strips away the melody for three minutes of percussive carnage before a wobbling UK garage bassline storms the mix. These are functional tracks that will appeal to DJs unafraid of some scuffed edges. It's a well-worn style, so to stand out tracks like this need to do more than just bang.
