stockholms techno-koryphäe pär grindvik und berlins sensation sylvie maziarz vereinen die kräfte auf ihrer ersten kollaboration, der -before we run- ep auf second state. gleich zu beginn heizen bedrohlich klingende, hypnotische glocken und ein scheppernder bass auf -bullet tower- die stimmung an. es folgt der titeltrack mit wilder kick und einem erdrückt-hysterischen vocal, synths wirbeln durch, bevor sie wieder vom überwältigen rhythmus durchbrochen werden. -utopia- ist ein von ungewöhnlich-verkopfter perkussion, langgezogenen flächen und hektischen synths angetriebener track. die ep endet mit -circles-, einer trancigen odyssee, die uns einblicke in die unterwelt gibt.
