the lab review
Fresh of the presses... After a run of heavy bloggin, sunrise sessions, and surprise shows, Da Hardy Boyz (aka Blu Jemz, Unemployed Lloyd, and TK) have finally emerged to the bright surface with their debut EP. Opener "Here I Am(1)" whispers to their formative period as a cheeky German techno - Ron Hardy tribute band (we're keeping the demos under wraps). Don't take it too seriously, but do take the Arthur Baker inspired beats and synths seriously. The instrumental "I Want To Meet You There(2)" pays homage to the cosmic disco 12"s the Boyz love so much and sets up the club heater "Hardy Time(3)." This club mutant has been getting the hardest love at shows with its hard drums, new wave basslines and echoed lyrics. Did Lloydski really say "I'll be your Stouffers"? For the cherry on top, DFA's Runaway deliver one of their finest remixes(4), completely deconstructing "Here I Am" into a minimal disco banguh. Silkscreened matted cover designed by PH. Recommended.
