This release is a fusion of Berlin and Detroit, brought about by Carhartt & Tresor to highlight the output of their home towns. Opening with a “lost” track from Juan Atkins, ‘I.D.L.E.’ is an agile piece of electro distinguished by its synth swirls and vocals. It’s pretty good. As is ‘Searching (Live At Globus)’ from Ectomorph. Another electro offering but one that seems to be in a state of breakdown and decay compared to its predecessor. ‘Your Body’ by AMX is all angular stabs and flanges pushed along by a deadpan spoken word. ‘Dynamic Instability’ is a track that could only have been made by DJ Stingray. Ratcheting up the bpms but still infectiously funky, his sound is unique but it does sound like it was produced in an abattoir. The artists representing Berlin stay within the techno domain with ‘Metal Goat’ by JakoJako sounding like wind chimes on crack, and Erik Jabari’s ‘Screamore’ a concave undulation of a track that defty rides the machine funk wobbleboard. All in all a really strong release in which all tracks are infinitely useful and, mostly, imaginative and original.
