>that placid track< has been in the hands of some lucky individuals for some time now, making its way across dancefloors from berlin to new york, bristol to tokyo.
dark disco references are heavy throughout with a great use of strings licks, a slo-motion vocal sample and a classic cowbell keeping everything nicely in check. as with most of octobers productions though he still has one foot firmly inside berghainrendering this essentially disco track into something with more of a late night, broody edge.

laying low in the cut after the much lauded >recession vol.1< mix album and his wrily-titled futuristic crossover >euro dance hit<, caravan label head honcho julian smith aka october returns from deep studio retreat with possibly his best, certainly most forward thinking dance floor record to date. as always october takes a big slice of his inspiration from the detroit techno sound of the 80s and early 90s which is clearly evident on the second cut on this plate in particular. however you simply cannot ignore his perhaps more euro-centric dub tendencies and broken-beat rhythm principles that always inform his overall composition and production ethos.

emptyset is a bristol based production project formed by james ginzburg, aka ginz, boss of the multiverse network of labels and paul purgas a longstanding electronic dj/collector and curator of this years we can elude control compilation. their collective agenda has been exploring techno music’s diverse influences and compiling them to a studio template focused on tight production and detailed sound design. inspired by the city’s culture of bass lead production as well as the global resurgence of electronic music, the sound has been described as techno meets dubstep folded back onto techno again, a description which is perhaps the most insightful to date. the project owes credit to the classic releases of m-plant, sahko and chain reaction as well as more recent producers such as alva noto, deathprod and burial. emptyset acts as a research project connecting the ideas of a modern dancefloor with experimental approaches to music and its design.

caravans latest 12 inch finds jilt van moorst at the controls with two beautifully worked cuts, which also featured within octobers much lauded >recession vol. 1< mix. expect some cross-over appeal for the worlds of techno, dub-step and broken-beats. this is exactly the kind of dance floor sneakiness we ve come to love and expect from the caravan stable. totally hot.

super musik, die genau an der schnittstelle von fat & musik krause liegt. toller hit mit charakter!!!

excellent hypnotic detroit infected 2 track ep on the highest level, cooool
