- Bim Marx are a duo consisting of New Jersey's Professor Genius (who has dropped 12-inches on Italians Do It Better and THISISNOTANEXIT) and New York's Duane Harriott (who used to throw the Negroclash party at APT). This marks the duo's second 12-inch of edits for dance floors on the Stilove4music imprint (home to edits and deep house cuts by the likes of Rahaan and Tricksi) and while it doesn't have an outright house burner like last year's untitled B-side (so tough to glean—much less reference—untitled, blank black label tracks), it works nevertheless.
One fidgety cut sounds like Mother's Finest (or else the edit that DJ Harvey did as "Cosmic"), all twitching ARP and handclaps as a woman belts out "Don't you fall" in-between horn stabs. Another track could spring you out of a set of obscure soul 45s into something heavier, a repeated refrain of "I love you" building and then dissipating. Another filtered and muffled bit of funk slowly opens up into a chant about "perfect peace." My favorite cut here, though, comes from Master Khan, AKA The Twilight Tone, which is a re-work of Kid Creole and the Coconuts' closing track from Off the Coast of Me. He stretches out the echoed maxim "Don't stop that music" and then proceeds to do just that, thickening and quickening the original to a nice nine-minute version.
