Alex Celler has made quite a splash in 2009! Since his TuningSpork debut EP Trapped in Dub, he’s had a hit record “La Palma” for Arearemote,and consequently teamed up with fellow Londoner Anthea of Phonica Records. As Anthea & Celler they released a pair of 12”s for Freak N Chic and Cécille, and now their third effort as a duo appears on TuningSpork. “Down with G.O.D.” is a chunky and forceful workout, fuelled by Jesus Juice, with a distorted bass bounce and vaporous dub overtones that just might make the dancefloor break down and speak in tongues.

Then comes the remix from TuningSpork boss Jay Haze, where the deepness gets bumped up a notch and his trademark onslaught of snare drums keeps things moving. Original house gangster DJ Sneak concocts a bold blend with two parts percolating Chicago attitude and one part French filter house. Finally, as a download bonus, Michal Ho recontextualizes the track’s most familiar elements into a smooth, velvety melodic motif. Man cannot live on bread alone; he needs a hearty dose of funk, TuningSpork style!
