V/A - STEEPLEJACK II 12"

LULUS:

Curated by Harold (Australia's best bad-trip dancefloor DJ, co-conspirator behind Melbourne institutions ¿Club D'érange? and Pleasure Planet), Steeplejack have long been one of Australia's most interesting and visionary contemporary underground electronic labels. Across a variety of producers and releases, Steeplejack have pushed a core agenda of, in their own words, " an exercise in dance club equality and a challenge to passive consumption."

This, their second compilation 12", might be their most succinct statement yet. Across these four tracks (by GLM, Reptant, Nullstaat, and long-time Lulu's favourite Nerve), their producers paint a frantic, uneasy picture of lab-made psilocybins and grime-slicked gearshifts. Nervous, build-and-release tracks that, true to Steeplejack's code, force captive attention. Lulu's favourite electronic release of the year so far, and an essential document of the Aus underground as it now stands.
