Trevino aka Marcus Intalex has been wowing all and sundry with his tight Detroit / Chicago / whoknoswhere take on UK Bass music. His early tracks like ‘Chip’ on Martyns 3024 and ‘Derelict’ on Naked Lunch, showed tough, melodic, techno and electro were back on the menu, but filtered thru the mind and ears of a man who was been releasing fresh UK music since 1994. Appleblim was amongst the first to hear and start playing Trevino’s new cuts, and has seen him go from strength to strength. Trevino is one of those producers who’s tracks people are constantly running up to the booth, freaking out about and enquiring about, and that is a sure fire indication of big tunes! So naturally when Trevino said he’d be happy to put some tracks out on Pips, Appleblim was buzzing…’Indulge’ has been a mainstay of his sets and shows Marcus’s versatility…gentle undulating melodic stabs seem to weave together for an age before hydraulic bursts of wavejumper bass start to fill the gaps. When a tough electro style stepping rhythm comes in, the dancefloor is ready for heads down skanking! On the flip is an almost lost classic, ‘Under Surveillance’, many of the DJs who have been dropping this for a while are pleased to see it come out, its dystopian sci-fi stepping rhythm combining with claustrophobic synths spraying all over the gaff! Proper head nod biz, which hints at the feelings induced at the early DMZ parties…all in all a tasty package.
