DOWNLOAD: Spitzer - Avida Dollars

When Justice began their maximalist takeover in 2007, their distortion-thick tunes smashed open the door for a slew of like-minded producers (and the entire Ed Banger crew) to follow close behind. Spitzer, a French duo of brothers, might be lumped into the same movement at first blush, as tracks like "Rainbow Warrior" feature spliced vocals and distorted, stadium-ready melodies. But things get more complicated to classify on the jaunty "Avida Dollars," which leaps from its blocky staircase progressions into a leaning shuffle of syncopated bass and synth jabs. But the real crown jewel and likely lead single for Spitzer's forthcoming "Rollercoaster EP" is the glossy and relaxed "Rainy Winter Syndney," which smears melancholy tones over popping percussion, with more than enough energy for heads to nod but chilled enough to keep feet planted (and variety-wise, that's a good thing). Spitzer may have broken through on Justice's overdriven wave, but tunes like these suggest they could soon make their own.
