Having first heard of Uf0, aka Sergio Garcia, courtesy of his release on Further Electronix (the magnificent ‘You Will Shine’ being the case in point), I was more than a little pleased to find this release in my inbox a couple of months ago. And it’s his first release this year under this name, having also done something as Braindance Warrios. “Braindance” is another name for intelligent techno/dance music” I suppose. A title I am loath to use but I guess can serve a purpose if you’re pissed and trying to explain genres to that certain someone. And while this release is something that could fall into that category, to me it’s all just fifty shades of techno. Sorry for the generalisation, which I hope doesn’t take anything away from how good this release is. The first two tracks are more stretched, with ‘God Moving Arps’ being a floaty, ambient new age symphony with a relaxed break beat underlay. It’s the best track here. ‘Enzo’ feels like a four to the floor nursery rhyme. The sounds are warm and embracing and whisk you away into a safe place which hints at instability. Both ‘303 Corp’ and ‘Talitha Modmatrix’ twist drum and bass into intermittent chaos, the dominant motifs being contrastingly upbeat and constanty trying to break free from their percussive anchors. It’s all about impressions isn’t it, and this is all very good, but far too short.
