I don’t know if anything more can be done regarding the looped, driving approach to techno. As postulated in earlier reviews, there’s obviously a demand to be met. However, something needs to be done in order to raise eyebrows than simply churning out formula. Vinicius Honorio is a Brazilian DJ now resident in London who clearly has some insight into what moves a dance floor which, according to what he has produced here, is high intensity, industrial loops with a sense of syncopation. Flourishes that make these tracks stand out a little are the rhythmic claps that are dispersed over ‘Uruk’ and ‘Reiki’ without dominating. Is ‘Visions’ a Robert Hood homage? It sounds very much like it is. And the title track feels draped in 1950s – inspired Millsian sci-fi soundscapes. So, although here really isn’t that much room to manoeuvre, Vinicius Honorio does a more than competent job with this quartet.
