fortuna marks another debut on get physical, this time from french producer paul ritch and his studio partner, anthony collins. this powerful four-tracker has a more techno approach than usual for the berlin label, but is sure to bring good fortune to any dj that drops it! the title track is an intricately pieced together affair, based on clicky rhythms and hypnotic bleeps that lead to a dark, filtered breakdown that will push the party over the edge whenever its dropped. motion12 continues with this dark theme, as deconstructed slivers of percussion and a nagging, insistent groove provide the backing for an ominous, acid-flecked bassline that keeps on building. drop this in a small, confined space and the club will erupt! pumkin sees ritch & collins explore an experimental: the rhythms still have that clicky, bleepy sound, but this time, there are fx-heavy drums to contend with and a dark, nagging techno riff that insinuates itself through the arrangement to cause melt down on the dance floor.!
