Description
A popular 1995 release by UK minimal techno legend Baby Ford and fellow UK techno heavyweight Mark Broom is back in print! A masterpiece of minimal techno/house that creates a steady groove around hard kicks and tight, precise hi-hats! (MIYUU)
Casino Classix, an alias of legendary minimal artist Baby Ford, teamed up with British techno heavyweight Mark Broom to release this four-track EP. "Ringer" features a dark, nimble bassline dancing beneath intricate percussion and effects. "Hoppa" takes a minimal approach, characterized by a low-end undulating bass, icy hi-hats, and intricately intertwined toms. On the flip side, "Hot Pot" has a warm, deep dub feel, while "Beach Club" intertwines synth fragments and clever percussion over a cold, relentless groove. A must-have for minimal techno fans.

Casino Classix is one of several aliases for legendary minimal man Baby Ford. Here it is also the name of a four-track EP that finds the long time UK underground operative working alongside fellow British techno luminary Mark Broom on a quartet of devastating cuts. 'Ringer' opens up with some dark and nimble baselines darting about beneath a dense layer of percussion and FX. 'Hoppa' is then a more precise and minimalist cut with wonky bass snaking down low beneath the icy hi-hats and jumbled toms. There is a warm dub depth to 'Hot Pot' to kick off the flip and 'Beach Club' shuts down with a restless mix of synth daubs and deft percussion over an ice cold groove.
