the third release on ascorbites own corseque records is not for the faint-hearted. advance the flight and inadequate demeanor are clearly twins, delivered from the darkest corners of ascorbite’s mind. the bold, pounding quality of the ep brings adam x or grovskopa to mind but ascorbite has a dystopian touch that’s entirely his own. advance the flight is like a battle track for an intergalactic armada being attacked by an infinite horde of swarming space ants. inadequate demeanor, on the other hand, is a grim steampunk fantasy of a black, shining locomotive plainly out of control, raging on red hot rails towards the end of the line. however, while both tracks are rough and unforgiving, ascorbite manages to invigorate them by the use of subtle melancholic atmospheres – like rainy skies over a concrete desert. a balance between brutalism and vitality. a trademark of ascorbite and corseque records.

carousel and brenda records veteran mike davis comes correct with some of his best tracks to date. heavy, yet elusive and original jams that fall somewhere between berghain peak hour and your weird uncle s birthday bash at the bowling alley with his stoner proto techno friends.

ps006 brings things back to the foggy outskirts of techno somewhere close to s olbrichts praised trancess twelve inch. from the relentless momentum of the futuristic *station crucial* to the sinking cathedral depths of *stare at the word*, plus concrete brutalism of *surrender*, all rely on a steady techno pulse trapped in visceral synth textures crunching their way through vacuum tubes.

grievous angel steps back up to the plate, fresh from smashing the summer with his loser and move down low versions. ripe sense of timing as well - revisiting the seminal grime rydim ice rink from 2003 for rhythmic guidance looks as dapper as savile row on rascal right now.the originals cold, arhythmic arcade game derived brutalism is reborn for the late 09 in 2 sensual and smart funky compatible versions.
