Johnny Trika – Main Squeeze [SCI + TEC]
An energetic album consisting of some seriously well produced minimal house/techno, Trika shows off a well-toned variety of sounds and ideas in Main Squeeze. The bass-lines are tight, groovy, and unrelenting causing each track to be hypnotic and trance-like. While the tracks are simplistic, they tend to be very well coordinated and the sheer production value of each combination pushes the release to new heights. While some may say this should be a standard for minimal house, Trika does this very well even compared to his peers. The release also includes some short snippets that are supposed to be attractive to DJs who want to use some minimal house snippets in their set, but are not worth the price tag by any means. Grab the tracks produced by the main man, but skip the rest.
