Pioneers EP - Derek Carr (Craigie Knowes)


Title: Pioneers EP
Artist: Derek Carr
Label: Craigie Knowes
Cat Number: CNOWEP10
Genre: Techno

A1: Acid Bath
A2: Anthenia
B1: The Pioneers
B2: Hanging On A String

Another week, another Derek Carr release, or at least that’s how it feels. Not that this is an inconvenience though as the quality control is continually high and the variety wide. Craigie Knowes, who are on a simultaneous, roll all of their own have chosen well as this four tracker emphasizes what a properly polyvalent producer the Irishman is. Touching on acid, (‘Acid Bath’), electro (‘The Pioneers’), and two distinct shades of gliding, emotive techno (‘Anthenia’ and ‘Hanging On A String’), this four tracker exudes energy and positivity. Mr. Carr sounds like he had a lot of fun making this record. And why shouldn’t he have had? These four weapons should raise the temperature and lighten the mood whenever they are deployed.
