Outstrip: Booben (EP)

Outstrip present their second release on their own label Outstrip Wax, a vinyl only project that launched at the tail end of last year. The Ukrainian duo bring punchy, club-focused house with a subtle, lightness of touch to 4-tracker Booben EP.
Title track 'Booben' is stripped back house, featuring swirling synths and squelchy beats. Fuse affiliate Seb Zito provides a cracking remix of Outstrip's 'Salat', opting for a low slung, hypnotic rhythm that permeates the brain. On the flipside, 'Pravak' is all tight percussion matched with a trippy, spaced out melody that will keep dance floor's moving long after peak hour. On remix duty, the highly underrated French-producer, Okain, accentuates the tracks trippier elements around broken beats and stuttered drum patterns.
