Any time there's excessive force by the fuzz while liberating a rave (or all night electronic music festival, for you laymen), the corporate media utilizes its stranglehold on public opinion and pumps the silent majority with quotes from bigoted cops and ill-informed religious authorities that all raves are nothing more than massive drug orgies for the sexually depraved. But, much like how the longhairs back in the '60s took the insult "freak" and turned it into "freak power," Detroit's Matthew Dear has taken the misguided charges of the current ruling class and embraced them in his own work. The tracklisting for Suckfish (whatever you think that means) includes "Your Place Or Mine," "Titty Fuck," and "Just Fucking." This album stays pretty consistent, grinding metallic synths and mauled vocal samples against methodical, machine driven, 4/4 techno beats... the steady heartbeat rhythm that it is. It's a mix that works just as well on the dance floor as the bedroom, as evidenced by the inclusion of two Suckfish tracks on Ivan Smagghe's recent Fabric mix in one form or a "23 Positions In A One-Night Stand" other.
