Laurent Garner oversees COD3 QR, a label whose motto is “music diversity is our strength”. Thus far, most releases have been various artist EPs which have observed this, while not necessarily straying too far from each other as far as respective genres are concerned. And this is an example of one such collection, with the deep, tribal leanings of ‘ ‘What’s Going On’, coming up against the techno loops of ‘Hold No Groove’ and then the more urgent and layered ‘Pulse’. There is a definite sense of progression throughout this release, intentional or not, and the tracks individually are extremely well -realised. It’s classic stuff though, genre – wise, and falls more into the functional category than anything else, very much doing what it says on the tin.
