The Rip Off Artist - Baby Daddy - 12

Labels: Tora! Tora! Tora!
Review by: Chris Bress

“œBaby Daddy” is a great cut, it’s breaks are hard and cut up in an Akufen style, so it’s only fair that Akufen turns up to mix the track.

“œBaby Daddy” has some crazy beats, it’s one of those jerky house records, but it’s more macro than micro. This is the kind of record that I always want DJs to spin when all they do is play the same fucking Blackstrobe tune every week. Akufen’s re-working is alright, he brings it down a peg, bringing more instrumentation into the song via a chill pill. It ends up being less effective than the Rip Off Artist’s original, maybe he’s trying to make his friend look good.

“œBaby Frankenstein” is more like it, it’s beats pound away over the acid-funk break and it all gels into a proper tune ideal for party-dancing.
