Magik Johnson - Asylum Sneaker OUT TODAY

[merkins]

Blackpool refugee, cycling fiend and house music-machine Magik Johnson joins Curfew for obviously his finest piece of music ever. Imagine DJ Sneak, Switch and Jesper Dahlback all kept hostage in a small room under orders to make something really good or be shot. Filtered electro riffs build the pressure over a huge rumbling bass-end, then it drops into a techy hook that sounds like Richie Hawtin remixing a John Carpenter soundtrack. Paranoid and minimal as you like - and then back to the earth shattering beats & bass.Then after being kicked in the teeth by the original, you get Magik's own brilliant and aptly named 'Padded Cell' remix as heard on the Essential Selection, Kiss, and Nun Fondlers FM...

Played by everyone from Adam Beyer to Eric Prydz, via Sasha, Steve Lawler, Jesse Rose and Adam Freeland - available exclusively now at: http://www.beatport.com/curfew
