cut a. kaos has been in the music and dj business since many years. last summer, he actively returned into techno with the purpose to create a new album. in other words, he targeted a genuine techno album containing two parts. the first one is a retrospective view to the origins of techno, consequently deep tech is accompanied by clear acid structures, exhibited by artists such as the martian, beltram or the old umek stuff. although many styles are aggregated, they are all pure techno. niereich, austrias number one techno artist, contributed a brilliant remix of *because it s acid*! another artist, edelstahl, produced a remix of *walk and talk*, which resulted in a hard and fat monster!

operating from the heart of brooklyn, ny, the latest artist to sign up to ornate is jordan, whose plush deep house sound has already surfaced via a collaboration with fred p on the deep explorer compilation far & beyond. living on the border of the bushwick and ridgewood neighbourhoods, the title of the ep is a nod to the difference jordan sees between his own spiritual, detailed work and the trend for rougher analogue sounds that have been sweeping the city he calls home. with a focus on expressive, richly melodic synths and delicately balanced rhythms, his music stands apart from the wave of guttural lo-fi sonics, and yet this is still house music with that east coast punch where it counts. with an imminent release for the noted finale sounds imprint establishing jordan well within the remit of high-end house and techno, it gives us great pleasure to present these exercises in soulful immersion, from the three 4/4 driven pieces to the ambient vignette -visage-. with the door open for more experimental interpretations, it made perfect sense to invite former ornate guest leif back to turn out a remix of the track, his own hushed tones having recently graced a critically-acclaimed debut album for fear of flying. it s the ideal complement to an ep of highly developed musicianship that spells another exciting step forward for both jordan and ornate.
