Format: CD
Label: RG Recordings
Rated: * * * * *
I can't hail this EP by rave-scene diva Rona Geffen as something new, but Berlin based artist, who after all plainly introduced "The Emancipation of Mitzy" as a sort of flashback, knows how to shake dancing grounds. For example, the opening track "Empty And Broke" could remind those hard-hitting techno panzers which struck the chords and the bodies of Tresor devotees at the dawn of new millenium (and maybe some years before 2000), the tribal wars on the drum of the following "Ra Ta Ta Ta" unexpectedly reactivated memories like Sepultura's "Chaos BC" that belongs to some old past musical lives of mine, "Patat" smells like those old-fashioned crossbreeds between Rio De Janeiro samba drumming and techno. "Teheran Nigts" and the squawking pitting of "It Began With 1 Pissed Chika" hurl head-banging missiles which borders on gabber and German techno-trance, while the final "30" recalls some "jihadist" declension of techno, which also spread over he scene particularly after the controversial exacerbation against some Muslim countries and the destabilization of those regions, but if you pay close attention to some details, you'll uncover the reason why Rona Geffen's output is everything but a cloning.
