Two years on, the experienced Dutch producer returns to action for the first time since, delivering in the process another quartet of stellar-gazing productions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVia releases on Deepermotions, Rush Hour and Hometaping Is Killing Music, Weiss has built a reputation for combining a deep understanding of dancefloor dynamics with a sci-fi inspired, futurist aesthetic. Both complementary traits are very much in evidence on this second outing for Voyage Direct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeiss blasts off with “Brain Fever”, where a raw, mind-altering arpeggio bassline, fuzzy drum machine hits, spacey chords and alien electronics propel our hero skywards. Think of it as techno for funk-loving, Italo disco-freaking astronauts whose journey to the end of the universe is just beginning. This intergalactic funk blueprint is further explored on the deeper, more melodious “You Want A Cigarette”, where Weiss’s vocoder vocals wrap themselves around mutant TB-303 lines, adrenaline-fuelled chords and rattling mechanical percussion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn “Space Ghetto (Booty)”, our hero celebrates the discovery of previously unknown worlds in the only way he knows how. With kaleidoscopic electronic motifs running at warp speed and a funk-driven synth bass taking centre stage, Weiss delivers his own take on electrofunk. Pleasingly fuzzy and held together firmly by the syncopated drum machine handclaps of ghetto house, it’s a typically visionary and appealing proposition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith barely two minutes before his spaceship lands in alien territory, Weiss closes things down with the melancholic chord progressions and heartfelt vocoder vocals of “Intro”, a beatless excursion tailor-made for dramatic set openers and goose bump-inducing mix outros. He may be heading into unchartered territory, but it won’t be the last you hear from Simon Weiss.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tenampa Record Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47425614184611,"sku":null,"price":380.0,"currency_code":"MXN","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0583\/1239\/2867\/files\/image_2d0cbd3c-d588-4867-a0ee-10c3f2d8d67b.jpg?v=1773368825","url":"https:\/\/tenampa.mx\/en\/products\/simon-weiss-brain-fever-ep-voyage-direct","provider":"Tenampa","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
