CD Review: Don Rimini - Kick ‘N Run EP

August 19th, 2008 Written by: Alex Goodman· No Comments

When Parisian DJ Xavier Gassemann boasts, “You’re chillin’ with the Don Rimini, bitch,” he perfectly encapsulates the feeling of his Kick ‘N Run EP.  The six-track offering, seems intent on pummeling listeners into submission while reminding them how much fun they’re having. The first and fourth tracks are basically collections of outlandishly arrogant soundbites, while the four actual songs are mostly overlong, hyperactive techno paired with nearly unintelligible words and phrases shouted ad nauseum.

“Ohow?” starts things off with some fairly catchy industrial synth riffs, and manages to avoid monotony.”Nervous Breakdown” does sound adequately paranoid, but after the first four minutes you start to wish he would just take his medication. “Rave On” is the stand-out track, with overloaded synths and an energetically danceable beat, punctuated by an emphatic chant of “We’ve come to kick your ass! (Ass! Ass! Ass! Ass!)” The closer, “Hools,” is mostly forgettable, and may even be capable of inducing mild headaches. The songs may find their place in a club setting, packed into a like-minded playlist, but for now Don Rimini may want to tone down the boasting until his music can speak for itself.
