Boulderdash is a funked out page from the book of Manuel Göttsching (or Carl Craig, depending on who you talk to), but the flip-side's "Ball Blazer" is a cool burst of clairvoyant Mancunian nostalgia that for all I know, is lighting up clubs all over Berlin. "Ball Blazer" actually sounds like something I heard Thomas Schumacher drop at the 5 Years of Get Physical Night at Barcelona's Loft back in June. That guy brought the house down.
Justus is a pretty big name nowadays, with releases on all the majors of minimal techno (Kompakt, Get Physical, Compost, Poker Flat, the list goes on) and his recent split with Prins Thomas was a minor sensation and one that brought him to the attention of me and probably many others. Still, it's only recently that he's been sounding so much like New Order, which is probably a sign of him crossing over from cult status to heavy hitter.
Oh no, Nonstop Funky Tracks is back! Exclusive mixes and more deep funk coming very soon!
