about

Spray enters the world, emerging with a mystically prophesied reissue from Dimension 23, the intended deliverance in 2020 a perfect 23 years after its original release in 1997. The duo, Rich and Julie, were pioneers of the LA rave scene, traversing the West Coast throughout the ‘90s - not to mention colluding with Sven Väth’s like-minded trailblazing Harthouse. The reiteration of this music today feels more relevant than ever; the compellingly raw and authentic energy desperately desired as we emerge back into club and festival spaces.⁣
⁣
Formally released on Fuzzy Logik, The A1 “I.M.O.K. R.U.O.K.” was first written in a mere 30 minutes as a live jam and recorded straight to DAT; rough, ready and destined for the rave. Brace yourself for freaked abrasive textures that dip and soar in a sharp contrast to the rich rolling bassline, propelling the track forward into delicious repetition. Additionally, the militant rim-driven percussion and drums come locked and loaded, proper ammunition for any hot and heavy dancefloor.⁣
⁣
Tying the anthem into further contemporary context comes a remix from Or:la, slowing the groove and shaking up the rhythm for a more sexy low-slung affair. BYO percussion and breaks, it draws upon the subtle sensual breathy vocals and delicate harmonic moments, adding a different kind of heat to the release.⁣
⁣
Rounding out the record comes a B side blowout, originally unleashed on Harthouse, “12,000 Ravers” truly evokes the imagery laid out in its title. The rapturous outbreak takes no prisoners, with all the tried and tested crucial ingredients. The thundering kick unapologetically galloping over yet another sublime bassline, whilst breakbeats ricochet effortlessly to leave⁣ space for melodic nuance, swirling synths and soft-spirited arpeggiators. This six-minute rave hymn proves a powerful contribution to the overall release; setting the tone for Spray with an historical nod to our past and how it influences our future, the generational gap feeling like a mere blip in time.
