Splitter - All Alone

Splitter is the collaboration of two of house's biggest heavyweights, namely Mark Yardley of the infamous Stanton Warriors and Martijn ten Velden. All Alone is their first release and sees the duo attempt to separate themselves from their previous musical projects and outlooks, attempting to bring something new to the ever-growing dance/rock genre. Blending elements of electro and house, it tells the tale of a lovesick clubber who just saw the one person for them, yet it fails to really get going. However, the remix B-sides show signs of promise from the duo, with A Chicken Lips Dub Malfunction and the Chicken Lips Malfunction versions both definitely warranting a listen. [Franck Martin]
