Genre: Techno

Diarmaid is, according to the press release, a three turntable wizard with a flair for Intelligent Dance Music. Or that could just be a play on his name.

 This 12" has three versions of Just Go on it. Its difficult to work out the speed of the record so I'm playing B at a frantic45rpm. I enjoyed the A-side, Just go softly, on 33rpm too . 45rpm sounds a bit too fast for this one, unless you really were on a bender. Side A starts off magnificently with a marvellous deep bassy electronic wall of percussion before reaching the central focus of the track, the all engorging violin sample. Its relentlessly repeated and while I like it would like a bit more to happen before the end of the track.

A lot more happens on 'Just go'. Its a harder(as opposed to soft, funnily enough) version of the track and a lot more interesting.There's a more consistent beat to dance to. It keeps the pressure up all along and brings a more industrial feel to the track and a nice spaced out moment about two thirds into the track.

 The Armani remix dispenses with melody altogether and gives us a skeletal percussive soundtrack solely broken up by some guy shouting 'hi' a lot.

 All in all, quite enjoyable.
