    Mike Callander - Twilight Mike Callander - Twilight
    Mike Callander - Twilight Haul Music's journey from digital to vinyl has been a slow and patient one. Twilight, however, seems like the perfect year-zero for their move into wax. Haul's digital releases have been solid, but this release gives the impression that the label has learned a lot, and is moving forward with a deliberate plan. Garish art aside, the partnership of Callander and Tornado Wallace on the A-side is an obvious reflection of Haul's Melbourne charter. And while Alexkid is no Australian, his contribution offers an interesting contrast as well.

    "Twilight" is one of Callander's more enjoyable productions, but not because it's necessarily easy or funky. With so many disparate elements, the arrangement is incredibly intriguing and the stabbing kick drum is barely able to rein in the sounds shooting off in every direction. Tornado Wallace takes Callander's beats, ambles through a cosmic introduction and lets loose with a groove of his own crafting. With so much material to work with, TW has done well not to get carried away. Alexkid styles an immediately upbeat track, but it fails to go anywhere. Without the daring of the original or the narrative of TW's remix, the B-side seems more like a tool than a track.

    The venture into vinyl will definitely grant Haul a new level of credibility, locally and internationally. It's not a 12-inch that will blow you away, but its production alludes to a promising future.
