Title: Hypersocial/Safety Test
Artist: Patrick Conway
Label: ESP Institute
Cat Number: ESP054
Genre: House
1: Hypersocial
2: Safety Test
For his second outing on ESP Institute, Patrick Conway, (not his real name, far too bland), presents the listener with a double header of contrasts. ‘Hypersocial’ is a minimal slow burner made for hot summer nights and, as things stand, psossibly warmer, hermetically-sealed winter ones. It’s an elegant piece of understated simplicity which is as meditative as it is dynamic. ‘Safety Test’ couldn’t be more different. It’s a tonally abrasive tune, composed of dense, heavy breakbeats which, while rhythmical, still manages to sound vaguely dissonant. If your after a contrasting double header, you’ve come to the right place. ‘Hypersocial’ is the one here though.
