Time to review a relatively simple, 2 track debut EP from a London lad, on an up and coming label - The Mighty Rumble. The Mighty Rumble already has a few feathers in its newly established bow, the impending Fukkk Offf album, being one.

Richard Seeberan aka Rich Nxt has given us a two track minimal/tech house release that features no remixes, no real depth and no real emotion. Perhaps the traffic and the recession have hit London the hardest.

To be fair, the release isn’t that poor. Both 'Plandem' and 'Highman' are well produced, mid set (tech-house), slow burners. They don’t, however, have any real progression from start to finish, won’t really set the club on fire, and will probably be lost and forgotten in the melee that is the digital dance music market at the moment.

All this is not to say that the release doesn’t show some real potential. With some nice percussion elements, some nice grooves and a good sense of sound space, Richard Seeberan has the basis of a very able producer. What is lacking is the true depth, emotion and slightly “scary” factor of really good dance music.

The Mighty Rumble has a few well known acts on their roster, the best known probably being, Fukkk Offf, Alec Empire, Deadmau5 and Gomez. Rich Nxt is probably one for the future, but certainly not the now.

Both 'Plandem' and 'Highman' have some really interesting elements, like the auto-panned percussion rolls of 'Highman' and the bouncy bass groove of 'Plandem'. To be fair to Richard Seeberan, the EP would have been better served with an interesting guest remix, but for whatever reason there is none, not for now anyway. Perhaps in the future there will be some nice remixes of Rich Nxt’s tunes, but by then the originals may have been well forgotten.

On to the next release I say Rich.
