"The label's sixth release is no exception. Scratcha DVA's remix of Cooly G's 'Dis Boy' turns an already seductive track into a spaced-out dream. In the place of Cooly's stripped down production it's got all the psychedelic electronic subtleties and twists you might expect to hear in a Berlin techno tune, but actually brings her sophisticated vocal melodies more to the fore than the original version. The rhythm's syncopations, meanwhile, move along in lazy leaps as if dancing in lowered gravity. Bok Bok and L-Vis 1990 perform a similar job of total transformation on DVA's own 'Jelly Roll.' They play the original's cheeky, cheery melody backwards, forwards, sideways and upside-down, bouncing it off itself in a hall of audio mirrors and allowing glassy synths to slide between the beats and bass. It's a strange, slightly sinister and intoxicating reworking -- one to get lost in. Bonus track '32Da4' is something else entirely; as you may guess from the title it's in 3-time -- a bizarre, slithering dubstep waltz that flows out of the speakers and around itself in unique style. Lesser producers would build whole movements on such an innovative tune, but for DVA it's just another step in a compelling musical evolution."
