REVIEW
Last heard offering up revivalist rave business on Homage (the must-check “Scary Eire”), Irish rising star DART debuts on Shall Not Fade with a similarly nostalgic four-tracker. Opener “Stop For Nothing” is particularly striking, with DART adding creepy, reverb-laden synthesizer lead lines and celestial chords to a sweaty, jacking techno groove. He opts to emphasize relentless synth-bass, spacey electronics and mesmerising melodic motifs on the Orbital-esque “Hit & Run”, before raving it up once more via the pounding beats and sci-fi synthesizer sounds of “Shutdown”. His love of fusing intergalactic melodies and bustling breakbeats – as outlined on his previous EP – is the main attraction of similarly strong closing cut “Plugged Outro”.
