The Poker Flat Tournament presents Raudive vs. Costello [Poker Flat Recordings 098 Promo]

Poker Flat's re-formed and re-established Tournament series continues with another competitive 12" release these days. In one corner we've got Oliver Ho's Raudive moniker going deep with a mixture of hypnotic minimalism and some spacy, quite oriental flavored vocals that add a space, desert-like feel to the track, whilst his combatant Donnacha Costello of Minimise-fame serves a crystal clear, partly metallic sounding piece for peak time heights that causes dancefloor trouble due to its massive, minor chord leitmotif bassline that - once heard - never leaves your eardrums alone again. Defo the better track hear, not only due to its surprising end part that might puzzle some unexperienced jocks as well.
