Zoo Brazil, they of last years’ It’s Only A Mixtape compilation (a hard act to follow in itself), get arty with girl in pink pants, Essex girl stilettos, a glitter ball and red jam as fake blood (work out your own story board).

It you need an update from Taste The Difference Vol 1: The Very Best Of Swag on what’s going on in the world of Techno house, this is one that’ll do the job. Thumping tracks like ‘My Fire’, Boxed’, ‘Oh My’ and the best of the lot, ‘Sputnik’ “make use of the house”.

It’s a shame ‘Birds’ doesn’t have any field recordings al a Cornelia, but it races along after a minimal/ambient start. ‘Back To Back’ is similar whilst ‘Brown’ is a little more subtle.

This album is mainly large and in your face, notably the ‘big tune’ Anakonda, the Latin infused instrumental ‘Shadow Dance’ and the track ‘Ten Inch Nails’ with the sexual innuendo and female vocals; I think this is the girl that got murdered on the dance floor with the glitter ball on the cover.

With No Place Like Home, John Andersson and Johan Emmoth have produced an album for folks who like their tech house to go on into the early hours of a Monday morning (like Hirtenfellner & Philip Bader) and as the running time is well nearly gets to 80 minutes, you definitely get your £’s worth.

Hectic Mix nominations; ‘Sputnik’, ‘Shadow Dance’, ‘Ten Inch Nails’
