MH-245 Daedelus - Denies The Day's Demise The mighty Daedelus returns with his new Mush full-length, the fifteen track dancefoor masterpiece, Daedelus Denies The Day's Demise. With a slight tweak to the formula, Daedelus' magic music box has cranked out a project of techno inspried programming infused with Brazilian Bossa Nova, complete with shakers, hand claps, congas, and other mysterious percussion. Of course, the multilayered melding of disparate sounds from far-off times that Daedelus has built a career on remain the focus of each mix. Whether the music reaches you through sweaty club speakers or the refreshing cool of headphones, it will become clear on first listen that this album could only be the production work of Daedelus.

If Ninja Tune equals break-beats, then this is perhaps it's ultimate album, by the L.A.-based one-man band Daedelus. Making fresh a style that has seemed a it stale, this nonetheless sounds like 2006, with that slightly less electro-fied synth sound that's on practically every record now but also with that wacky "sample-tastic" Ninja Tune legacy. Any fan of boom-bap beats will like "Lights Out," which kicks ass, sounding like game show theme music from a parallel universe where there is only hip-hop. A record that spins madly out of control and seems born of more than just the one guy, this is by great leaps and bounds the best Ninja Tune release in some time. - Exclaim!
