Incorporated in to the words that come with this release is “draws inspiration from the minimal techno blueprint created by artists like Daniel Bell & Todd Sines back in the early 1990s”, which more than says it all as these tracks come off like they’ve been made by a tribute band. They are great though, and effortlessly incorporate house into techno I them most minimally funky way. Across all tracks there is hallmark rolling percussion and rhythmic squeaking, the combination of which allows for literally anything to be layered on top. That’s for the DJ to decide I suppose. However, there are occasional embellishments, such as the creaking accordion on ‘Voltage’ the annoying fly on ‘Analysis’, Landstrummesque flanging on ‘Rebound’ and the pervasive layering of ‘Intarder’. Intense and confrontational, but also fiercely funky, this release is top drawer and proudly flaunts its .xtrak influences.
