Senin EP – Piktor
(Subtil)
As the label
says, an understated release, the eleven minute long ‘Orion’s Belt’ stands out.
A groove which won’t quit.
A fat-bottomed
Detroit-inflected release with a latin tinge here and there. The Los Hermanos
remix should be longer though.
It’s noticeable
that since his outburst after the Bataclan terrorist incident, Levon Vincent
has suffered a drop in form comparable to that of Tiger Woods. Untouchable
before, now seemingly neutered. I like this, although it struggles to hit the
heights of older productions.
Not an electro
release, as stated on some sites. A very good, restrained in parts, techno one though,
which knows when to pull its punches.
Winds Of Corruption
– Corporation Mindfuck (Hard Beach Entertainment)
Current electro
darling(s), and effortless winners of the best named whoever, (CM’s id is a
closely-guarded secret), this EP follows up an eponymous debut and does
everything right. Stark, dystopian beats with depth and range.
The Others – Jack
Roland (Lonely Planets)
Came out at the
tail end of last summer. Electro mysticsm for the most part, with disembodied
voices featuring.
Dahlia 996 –
Nopax (Dahlia)
Funk and
syncopation within the minimalist template.
Numerous Agomens
Vol 1 – Pharba/Lowkust/Mark Thibideau/Gunnter (Joule Imprint)
Fairly bounces
along. Echoes of Mood ll Swing.
Paradox – Alexi
Perala (Trip)
An elegantly
packaged doublepack from a singular techno artist with a seemingly inexhaustible
supply of beats.
Blueprint EP –
Merv (Taped Artifact)
Dub techno with
bite from a label quietly doing its own thing.
