Releases from artist / Veröffentlichungen von : The Parallel

raw but sophistaced deep techno, clearly schooled in the classics, lands courtesy of dublin’s 393 records. label owner philip galvin jnr opens proceedings with two effortlessly grooving cuts. “sub osc” is powered by purring 101 bass & chiming synth tones & “lapping” lets it’s ear wiggling sequence modulate underneath lush pads. on the flip, the parallel cranks up the energy levels with the acidic thud of “voyager” before closing the ep with the dreamy & rolling breakbeat cut, “ascender”.

next stunning signal code release

now hes back with three glorious deep techno tracks that mark the start of an interplanetary trilogy for the label. lead track >exopshere< takes up where his komisch debut left off, with foreboding, dub-tinged chords building into a menacing climax and swarms of driving, razor sharp percussion keeping the arrangement focused on the dance floor. on the flip, >deep end< sees parallel exploring more esoteric sounds, with swirling, layered chords underpinned by dubbed out drums, heavy claps and hissing percussion, like an update of classic sterac material. >analogue city< brings a mellow end to the release. deep pads and ghostly sounds hover above a warm, splurging bassline that recalls underground resistance in mellow, tripped out mode. if youre looking for the classic sounds reinterpreted for contemporary techno dance floors, then make sure to get an audience with the >cosmic observer<.

colin mckeown a.k.a. the parallel has build up quite a name for himself the past 2 years with deep, dubbed and spaced out techno releases on prolific imprints such as komisch, nice & nasty and science timeless music from the emerald isle.

the third komisch release is by the parallel. with a string of digital releases to his credit, this talented new producer now makes his vinyl debut.
>abyss< gets down to business,as spacey textures melt into billowing chord sequences, underpinned by spiky claps and intricately woven pitchbent percussion. by the time the massive kick arrives, the seduction is complete.
>mind reverse< is focused on the floor, its stomping beats and metallic, robotic synths becoming increasingly more claustrophobic until the track breaks into a ghostly breakdown.

detroit techno ep

treasure chest of electro music

last copies arriving in january for a special price!
since it’s inception in 1991 on the streets of glasgow, soma records has stood for uncompromising quality of the highest level in every area it operates. stuart mcmillan & orde meikle formed slam during the acid house explosion in the late 80’s and then together with friends glenn gibbons & dave clarke they forged one of electronic music’s most widely known and well respected labels. with mcmillan & meikle as the figureheads with their slam project and influenced by the early detroit techno scene, soma quickly began to develop it’s own sound and with their eyes firmly fixed on a vision of the future, the team began the quest to instill their unquenchable thirst for electronic music into the world around them. soma quickly became an international brand as slam’s anthemic “positive education” brought about an electronic renaissance that saw the group thrust into the limelight and green lit the furious rise of the label.
