Caustic Dance EP - V/A (Brainwaves)

Title: Caustic Dance EP
Artist: Various
Label: Brainwaves
Cat Number: 
Genre: Techno

1: Catch 23 – Tout Casser
2: Disease Acid End Bit – Weith
3: Am I A Joke To You – Hermeth
4: MNJ – HTN
5: Maglev – Estebahn

This release is a virtual smorgasbord of electro, with a small bit of techno thrown in for good measure. This puts me in mind of an all too real question my other half asked me not so long ago regarding the difference between techno and electro. Well, listen to ‘Disease (Acid End Bit)’ and compare. A simplistic analysis of course, and very self-serving, however, the difference in tempo is there for all to hear. ‘Maglev’ has to be the funkiest thing here, with ‘MNJ’ operating on a frictional level at the other end of the scale. The tracks present tend towards the abrasive, but there’s enough range throughout to keep things interesting.
