Having notched up four releases under his own steam, Alan Fitzpatrick now turns to his contemporaries to push the 8 Sided Dice envelope in 2009. Following an awesome EP from Rocha & Lewinger that had Josh Wink, Adam Beyer and Luciano all in support comes the first of a set of EPs from the combined force of Fergie, Reset Robot (aka Dave Robertson) and 8 Sided’s Alan Fitzpatrick.

When the lots were drawn and coins tossed it was lucky dice man Alan Fitzpatrick who got the chance to reveal this exciting production Trinity. Two further EPs are nearing completion and will be released later this year before a possible mini album from the trio. Future EP’s will be released on Fergie’s impressive Excentric label and on Reveal following Dave’s releases on SCI+TEC.

It is not perhaps surprising that when three producers come together who naturally gravitate towards differing points on the techno spectrum that the result is a balance that slots neatly half way up the scale. Rollin tech house rhythms give Gas Mask a mid-set feel but the intensity of the distinctive scary siren noises push this track towards more peak-time deployment. 

Rattlesnake takes a more straightforward approach to knocking the dancefloor over. Punchy, relentless rhythms and razor-sharp snares are joined by a warped, undulating bassline that booms along behind a well-chosen armory of effects. The lead hook comes courtesy of a crowd-destroying rising siren sound that teases in and out of the main break then lets rip at full force.
