Dub house heavyweights Ivan-I & Jason Howell are back with another solid EP on the 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.
