Space Dimension Controller makes music that makes you dance, and there is no excuse for not being aware of this by now. The 20 year old from Belfast is the embodiment of the phrase ‘hotly tipped’ and not without good reason.
Inexorably making its way into the underground consciousness was 2009's absolute anthem 'The Love Quadrant' which was by a long, long way my track of the year, and an almost tangible sonic embodiment of euphoria.
SDC's new five track E.P 'Temporary Thrillz' is due to be released around mid October by R&S Records, who return to form this year with huge releases by the likes of Pariah, James Blake, and Model 500. Make no mistake, its a major release. Standout track "Transatlantic Landing Bay" has been a personal favourite for a while. Shuffling hi-hats move uplifting keys along beautifully into a now trademark funk laden synth.
As usual, this E.P defies categorization, perhaps for the best. Too much time is wasted on articulating on whether Space Dimension Controller makes Funk, Space Funk, Cosmic Disco, and any other galactic themed genre on which you can add 'Funk.'
However, the Funk label is indeed a fair one, but SDC also oozes class, proven on the sublime 'Simmering Emotion' which sounds like the beautiful love child of Dam-Funk and, well, Space Dimension Controller. Title track 'Temporary Thrillz' moves along briskly, with a warm analogue feel and pulsating synths that Scuba would be proud of.
This is an incredible release, and the double pack vinyl offers two locked grooves and a coloured vinyl for much the same price as a standard E.P, so don't sleep!
