chicago dj and producer olin follows up the debut release on his new record label, boundary movement, with tpi featuring four diverse cuts. up-tempo electro, moody minimalism, old-school melodies, and chugging deep house all woven seamlessly. the a side begins with �tpi,� an exercise in minimalism and micro-detail. unmistakably olin�s own, insistent synth stabs keep time while needlepoint percussion keeps the ear guessing. if you thought olin�s palette was limited to techno and house, a2 �corsaren� will prove you wrong � this is pitch-perfect electro in a classic style, a slow-building interplay of sci-fi synthesizers wrapped around icy cool call-and-response kicks and handclaps. b1 �thanks rob� is bom02�s most straightforward cut � and one of its best. building momentum slowly across its eight-minute runtime, �thanks rob� impresses as the larger-than-life bass swell hits. the dancefloor will be rapt � proceed carefully. b2 �hyssop,� feeling like it comes from a similar vintage as �corsaren,� might have been called �ambient techno� decades ago, but its upwardly mobile percussion makes it feel as at home in a club as it does in the chill-out room. it�s just the thing to close out this broad-spectrum record. � chris zaldua
