The Mission EP
The Mission EP delivers the sounds of pure mischief and revelry: relentless tempos, deliriously cut-up vocals, and a lose-your-mind energy that will take you to the outer limits and back. Rife with sirens and classic Phunckateck drum fills, The Mission is a three-track bass attack, coupled with three stellar remixes, that marks UFO!’s rediscovered love of club music.
As its title implies, “Pachanga in Space” is a hip-swiveling Latin beat augmented with cybernetic technology, all festival horn fanfares and clanging trashcan percussion. Next up, “Now” updates the early ’90s dance-floor sound of Crystal Waters; the big-room house epic features a classic mantra—”This is what you want!”—a tubular bass line, and an army of high-stepping synth stabs. “Glop” closes things out with a massive soundsystem blast, dressing up a steam-engine beat in a dancehall’s worth of vocals.
On the flip side, UFO! recruits both old friends and new talents to handle remix duty. Recent Sanguine discovery Skin & Bones go all dubby in their re-edit of “Pachanga,” sanding off the syncopations and pouring meaty blobs of synth-bass all over everything. UFO! calls upon his frequent bandmate DJ Abstract, who jacks up the rhythm section of “Now” with pianos and old-school breakbeats. Finally, another longtime UFO! cohort, Jason Mouse, runs “Glop” through the bass wringer, trying on six different kinds of low-end, from gentle blips to acid squirts, before settling into a devastating groove and riding it for all it’s worth.
For all the ink that could be spilled over UFO!’s newest opus, it’s best just to hear it from the man himself, shouting as he leaps from atop the towering bass cabinet into the sweating crowd below… “Klingons bangin’ the walls of their own spaceships, blasting lasers and photon blasters at full warp speed, beam me up Scottie, I control your body, I’m as deadly as SARS when it comes toshockin’ the party!”
