Resident Advisor

"Journeying all the way from Australia PJ shows us that the tech house scene down under has alot to shout about. Taking his cues from the likes of Funk D Void and the Youngsters PJ delivers two lively cuts. Glaze has that rumbling Funk D Void style bassline, overpinned with sharp beats and a good selection of sounds. Skunk goes abit further into techno territory but again follows the formula of the sparse arrangements and clinical crisp production. An interesting release."

Progressive Sounds Review

PJ - Glaze / Skunk

Infamous Light Recordings is a digital only tech house label born in January of this year and can be found at EDMDigital, Beatport and Hooj. Label head Praveen Jayarajan thought it would be a great idea to hop into digital downloads since the growing trend is proving to be quite popular. 'Glaze' and 'Skunk' is the first release and it’s a world of computer game beeps and boinks amidst groovy basslines and techy drums.

'Glaze' is a twisted tech house song with mechanical drumming, lazer shot sounds, and tweeky beeps crazy enough to be video game music. A huge bassline rolls on underneath the tune climbing though ups and downs with quick breaks along the way. A short building tune that never stops up once and keeps a groove all the way through.

'Skunk' is a bit deeper and relies on a growly bassline and zipper sounding drums that bring in the funk. Weird water sounds are clipped and manipulated to fall into the drums and break up the rhythm. Light ringing tones are hidden in the background but filter through for a perfect melodic balance.

Infamous Light has a great sound here for their first release. PJ has brought some fun into tech house, and his basslines make it just mean enough to dirty up the floor.
