The Detroit Grand Pu Bahs’ booty house is the techno equivalent of 2 Live Crew — essentially raunchy sex talk over lo-fi beats. They’ve followed up the attention-grabbing dance-floor hit Sandwiches with a surprisingly strong album, using processed vocals reminiscent of Green Velvet’s sleazier tracks, but with funkier rhythms. Song titles like Skirt Up Pants Down should tell you this is not art music, sparse and minimal production notwithstanding — which isn’t a bad thing. Techno producers could use a reminder that dance music is supposed to be sexy.
