This latest offering from Oscillate Tracks splits four compositions equally between Johanna Knutsson and Karen Gwyer, with each artist representing an individual take on one of techno’s many facets. Johanna Knutsson makes, on this evidence, warm, cold weather music designed to embrace the senses and tango with the emotions. Both of her tunes have a momentous melancholia about them which would be best appreciated in an open top sleigh riding full pelt across a frozen Swedish lake. Karen Gwyer’s tracks is more impressionistic, and a little bit chaotic, reigning themselves in by the skin of their teeth. The titles betray as much, but there isn’t much between them, each feeling like two sides of the same coin.
