Juno Review: Chicago Damn continues to deliver equal doses of raw ,stripped out house with his latest record, 18 Levels. "Attjoh" opens with darkened laboratory sounds as bubbling test tubes begin to spill a shuffling beat, shaking pads and a Dopplereffekt-esque lead line. "Joh" continues the theme of tough and abstract house; the interesting composition and incorporation of sounds barely hold themselves together while mournful pads and a growling acid line loosely tie the whole track together. "Time Waits For No Man" reveals a warmer side, the gentle bass line and delicate textures making the track glow. The percussion hangs in mid-air while a zero gravity click denotes a lazy swing. Recommended.
