Dub house heavyweights Ivan-I & Jason Howell are back with another solid EP on San Francisco's Tarantic label. The Once Wounded EP focuses on the techy end of the house music spectrum with two percussion-driven original tracks and remixes from Amit Shoham and Luke Mandala (Activated Recordings).

Starting things off, the original mix of “In Memory Of” grooves to a bigger-than-life chugging beat, nicely spiced with echo-laden chords and effects that maintain Ivan and Jason’s inimitable dubby vibe. Amit Shoham remixes the track with a syncopated beat for a tech-funky feel, keeping the excitement high on the dance floor with bold drum fills.

The title track is warmer, fitting easily into a deep or techy set. The track’s crisp percussion and organic tones interweave beautifully into a powerful groove. Luke Mandala takes an ethereal approach with his remix of “Once Wounded,” adding reverb-heavy electronic tones for a more progressive sound.

It's another deep, tech-house winner from Tarantic Records.

Checkpoint Charlie (mycuppat.com web zine) - "I was definitely feeling the big, tech house sound of the original - warm pads, big bassline, quality track... and then I hear Amit's remix. WOW - taken it to the next level for me. Simple, but brilliantly effective with swirling sounds, heavy bass and a sure-fire kick line. Big tune!"
Tomas Palermo (forwardever.blogspot.com) - "Awesome dubby vibes. I really like both originals. Smooth build-ups, great minimal arrangements, spacious and evocative."
