45. NATHAN FAKE –STEAM DAYS
And yes, this is his
real name. From Norwich, Norfolk ,in the UK, Nathan Fake came on to the scene
in 2006 with the giddy and wonky ambience of debut LP Drowning In A Sea Of
Love. He followed this up with a mini-album in 2009 entitled Hard Islands whose title definitely signaled the shift towards a harder techno sound. I saw
him DJ in Reykjavik in 2008 and his music spazzed around but was still
danceable. I really enjoyed that night, even though I abused the publication I
worked for by getting in for free. This third effort is a messy ride again, as
it fuses the two styles of ambient glow and techno glare to commendable effect.
You can stick it on when doing shit around the room or use it as a headphones
record. It’s not made for the club but can definitely get you in the mood while
you pre-game you party penguins you!
BEST PLAYED: When
pre-gaming to go out.
