Fundamental Harmonics - Nucleosynthesis EP (Lepton Quark)

 


Title: Nucleosynthesis EP 

Artist: Fundamental Harmonics 

Label: Lepton Quark

Cat Number: LPK035

Genre: Techno


1: Nucleosynthesis

2: Sparkling Atoms


A couple of decent length mixing tracks which are techno, but blend other elements in order to move the goalposts a tiny bit are always welcome. So here we have the latest release on Lepton Quark, a label that sounds like it was named after a secret government nuclear fission project from the 60s. ‘Nucleosynthesis’ is an agile piece of techno that skirts on the fringes of trance but fluctuates a little too much most of the time. ‘Sparkling Atoms’ takes the trance bone and runs with it, diving down the rabbit hole of stretched out beats and dense soundscapes. Both tracks are superb and are neither one thing or the other. They also, thankfully, don’t let the bpms run away with themselves, so preserve a vestige of elemental funk as well as a providing a pulsating, kinaesthetic  glimpse into a primordial soundscape.
