Sehr lässiger Track von Mossa, der für Orac noch ein wenig kleinteiliger wird, dabei aber seinen Funk nicht verliert, sondern genau die Grenze zwischen virtuellem Microhouse und purem Groove absteckt. Dazu ein Ben Nevile Remix, der mal wieder die sattesten, federnsten Beats macht, die die Welt je gesehen hat. Orac bleibt unschlagbar.
Very relaxed track from Mossa, who gets a little more fractured for Orac, however without losing the funk but exactly marking the border between virtual microhouse and abstract groove. Also a Ben Nevile Remix, which again draws in the fattest beats that the world has ever seen. Orac remains unbeatable.

Mossa’s first 12” for the label seems to be as representative as any: “Slavery When Wet” is a cut-up house cut that boasts vocal tics, slivers of dub, and sundry bells and whistles inside of its glitch moments. It’s all laid out by the one-minute mark and, by the time you reach five, it all seems a tad more repetitive than most. Ben Nevile’s mix of the song immediately dispels any qualms, as his faster-paced take runs through all of the possibilities of the song, rarely overdoing any one portion throughout the length of the song, which is incidentally the exact same as the original. The B-side, “Gastrula,” stretches out its arms and moves in the same arena as its predecessor, but does so more confidently. Its counterpart, “Gastrula (Crushed),” hammers the song into nearly half of the original and is a highly abstract joint that only really gets going two minutes in and doesn’t really ever find its step completely. Some mixed feelings on this one, but “Gastrula” is definitely a keeper.
