Two years after making his debut on Blank State with the superb "Cherry Unit EP", Porco Rosso returns to the German imprint to showcase his "Pork Power". He hits the spot from the word go, brilliantly wrapping echoing deep space melodies and starry synth chords atop funk-fuelled acid bass and snappy drum machine beats on four-to-the-floor opener "Cesar". Rosso indulges his love of sweatier, more bustling beats on all-action flipside opener "Iku Base Dance" - a fitting title, given the funkiness of the Syclops style bassline that propels the whole thing forwards - before offering up a chunk of weird-but-brilliant electro/IDM fusion ("Chiefmodus") to round off a brilliant EP.
