Perched on a crossroads, Pin Up Club approaches electronic music with a magpie's nature. A spread of styles has been picked, plucked and plundered to make 'Friends Of The Vortex'. The title piece snaps with clean beats as Blade Runner bars build with an energy that can only be described as palpable. Latin percussion and samples get the groove going for 'Children Of The Void'. Flirting, the tone twirls and turns. Keys are big and full bodied, balanced perfectly by the crack of a snare. 'Out Of The Unknown' closes. A slow burning piece brimming with brooding cinematic shapes and strings, a work that shows the colder edge of this dutch duo. Quality through and through.
