There must be something in the water in Glasgow. Dolby Anol have been churning out hot release after hot release this year; Cameroon/Macaroon had clubbers screaming for more disco, so (like teasing femme fatales) they released Sandy Bitches – an electronic masterclass in simplicity with it’s superlative techno. Both had tails wagging for more with huge support from the usual big names and stations, as well as youtube fan videos coming from around the globe. So now they return to keep you guessing some more with the Visa Mastercard E.P.
With most artists these days the general trend is to take their samples on vacation; african rhythms, jewish chants, romanian folk et all. Dolby missed their flight to Somalia, however, and landed knee deep in Islamabad. Visa Mastercard takes Qawwali hymns and chants to spread a message of capitalism to all. In fact, only their cynical take on pretty much everything would be able to find the word “Visa” in an ancient chant from the east. The record is a departure – yet again – from the previous records, the samples are the stars here, not the “broken ragdoll” approach in Cameroon nor the clinical automaton of Sandy Bitches. The beats are heavy, claps are loud, the whole thing will have you in a frenzy that will have you running to the Ganges to cool down.
