excellent & deep masterpiece!! one of the more interesting newcomers of 2007, we are delighted to welcome a new ep by october, his first for perspectiv. having turned heads with three singles on his own label caravan, octobers organic techno cuts and thuds, adding an inherent physicality to his productions. a side title track >say again< revolves around a female vocal loop, fuzzing and throbbing with pulsed melodic tone, punching live percussion and deep bass line. a highly unconventional mix, this composition ties together effortlessly, peaking with a deep and droning wave of analog synth and popped beats. b side >go outside< is an after hours treat. a darker, deeper and altogether more ethereal work, stuttering beats are glued together with a warm prodded synth melody. to close, resonant percussion and phased keys submerge the track into a claustrophobic climax.

full support by angel molina, dub kult, mathias schaffhäuser, jeff bennet, xpansul, oscar, remute. after releases on the own label, now the first excursion to the well-observed european realms follows on karloff rekordings. analog beats, bleeps and white noise - in sunny california these popular ingredients of minimal techno get brewed together with surprising facility, to a fresh, jacking a-side track with a sturdily nodding groove. on top of that, >azizam< doesn’t lack a clearly distinguished climax - for the good of the dancefloor! on the b-side >off my mind< first appears organicly floating within a warm and fuzzy scent of detroit, before >backwards on pony< finally unwraps classic sawtooth sequencer techno, however properly purged und worked up percussively, to a seething cauldron that you simply have to like!

the 3rd release by scott grooves on his natural midi label, this is scotts first ever ep and color vinyl release. all 4 tracks possess a different mood and distinct raw edge, which plays well on this well balanced ep.track 1 dark blu speaks for itself, simply stated and deeply enriched. the relentless melody never lets go of the groove and the groove never lets go the melody. everything in this track harmonizes together perfectly.track 2 dna definitely disturbs the peace with vintage analog synth sounds. the old school sounding vocal sample echoes thruout the track that >detroit needs analog records< take a listen and decide if that echoes true!track 3 >it doesnt all have to be techy< as the title suggest there is know >techyness< here, its all about a deeply stormin groove that is enriched with warm melodic keys and a lovely guitar, yes i said guitar that altogether creates a feelin thats organic but not boring. track 4 decimalquivers in and out with a fm gritty synth stab, complete with minimal drums or as scott calls them >drims< which is the term scott uses for minimal drums. also present is a deep pad sound that brews slowly like an eruption. co-produced by panther, a name you will hear more about in the future

already supported by pan-pot, sebo k, anja schneider, kiki, karotte... simplicity is the name of the game on both tracks here. on >louder elvis<, the two unleash pure deep-house bounce over ominous, detroit-inspired pads, clean-as-a-whistle bleeps laser their way through a fog of dubbed-out delay. the tunes flow suggests a live session, with tumbling chords following their own whims, but theres nothing haphazard about it. this ones all about the afterhours, head down and moving steadily into the light. a vocal sample kicks off >radio graceland< but dont expect any bloated rock n roll theatrics. instead, van dowski and agnès lay down a slowly rolling groove with a latin touch and even a little bit of reggaetón lurch. hand drums dapple the landscape with faded colors, keeping the mood subdued—at least, until the beat gathers steam and bright, syncopated chords splash about. groaning analog noises push the energy restlessly forward, driving dancers to wild abandon: the track is as effective as it is unconventional. what else would you expect from two of switzerlands most uncompromising crowdpleasers
