this disquiet is a layering of many, the process is the result: a slow-churning, microtonal wash, at once liquid and brilliantly crystalline in affect. two timbres fracture into many. a tectonic drone slides below and aerates a chorus as vocals flicker in and out of being, wrestling with silence. cacophony blends into order as subtle harmonies appear. what bence has written falls somewhere between an electronic production and a classical composition. where these two forms intersect is where disquiet occurs.

outstanding house action ... as always quality stuff - and vinyl only

the original, with a well-constructed bassline incorporates a warm up melody that begins to set the tone for the night ahead. each layer is distinct as the track begins to build itself right to its crescendo when each of those individual layers collectively come together. you can distinctly hear the 80 s like synths that are cleverly inserted into the track which are highlighted by the female vocal samples. the grittier elements add a touch of darkness and instantly transport you to a warehouse club with an intimate atmosphere. the remix, done by the widely loved tech-house duo pleasurekraft jack up the tempo a notch, and add a bouncy groove to the track. where the original brought out a darker side, the remix is more upbeat and settles in well for a peak hour set. bringing that crisp bassline to the fore, and tuning out the melodies to make them a tad subtler it showcases a more tech-house version of the original. there s an added element a slightly more haunted vibe which is coupled together with those gritty and harder elements. all i can conclude is what a tech-house bomb this is from the highly talented pleasurekraft. they always manage to bring something new and unique to every single track they ve ever remixed which truly shows their remarkability as consistently good producers.

for his 5th release on phonogramme, john jastszebski brings us another raw and delicate ep.
