Marhu - Through My Veins

  • No-nonsense acid house with a brawny techno backbone.

  • Some tracks just capture the feeling of clubbing. The title track from Belgian artist Marhu's new EP, Through My Veins, is one of them. With its brawny kicks, rattling rhythm and zipping acid line that Frogger-walks between the drums, it has the industrial churn you experience when you walk between rooms at the club, or when you're in front of the door, waiting to get in. Touched by the little spoken word vocal hooks that Marhu loves—in this case, a goofy "I've got acid!"—it's unpretentious, huge and undeniably effective, especially when the 303 really goes wild during the breakdown.
