for michigander s fifth release, brian kage delivers four solid dance-floor fillers, each infused with a unique blend of melodic detroit soul, intelligent acid and perfectly mixed percussion. each offering teleports the listener into a future where social distancing has finally abated and celebration can commence. lockdown starts the record off with undulating 303 bass notes that groove around in a circular arpeggiated formation until hypnotic 909 percussion breaks through with echoing claps and weaves together a tale of futuristic tension building. hold on pain ends features a stabbing analog synth-line that repeats a half-beat phrasing contrasted with slamming technical percussion, a heavy kick and a lush pad that is perfect for late nights in a warehouse. that woman from michigan contains gentle swinging upbeat percussion and deep soothing chords with samples of governor whitmer asking all michiganders to do their part and join together in solidarity. a subtly modulating acid line builds tension into a perfectly resonating crescendo. f.u covid19 - an ominous swelling pad rips across the dystopian horizon as swinging rimshots build around a deep pulsing kick and a dirty mono synth swirl. echoing vocal samples punctuate this acidic frenzy until the tension falls away giving dancers an opportunity to catch their breath before the next round of infectious rhythmic groove forces the hypnotic spell to intensify.
pfirter with an energy driven 5-tracker on andre kronerts odd even. pfiters lockstep drum patterns construct a hypnotic tale that reverberates with intense metallic synths into an expansive dark room sound with the endless ep. through my window starts with hollow syncopated bass driven by steady kicks. the low end and tight rhythm cause the synth pads to gasp for air in last breath. the repetitive chord stabs through the discordant ambiences while the percussion rumbles on with endless. certain is an expansive techno track that churns with machine-like precision. the chaotic synths and modulated metallic sounds hold ground with the hard kicks in release.
