after a first ep of the year from stl, the solar phenomena label now welcomes romania’s romansoff. the raw tools label boss hails from bucharest and has also released his gritty, stripped back house and techno on creme organization and sportiv. here he offers four new tracks, with one remix from timedance man ploy completing the package.
halo epitomises romansoff’s style with its slow, heavy drums and sparse, scattered perc sounds. a lo-fi melody adds colour, while coach jacket ups the ante with busier claps and crashing hits laid over a turbulent, unsettled bassline. increasing the pressure further, graded grows manic with punchy drums, layers of fuzzy synths and bass and distant cries that are dark and unsettling. ploy flips this one into a prickly and atmospheric drum track that keeps you on edge.

bucharests romansoff brings post-industrial heat on sportiv002. with previous releases on creme organisation, mörk and his own raw tools, tudor cranks it to 11 and does crunchy, saturated beats under a killer analog riff on colonial past. bodylock on the flip is equally intense but chooses a more stone-cold approach. gripping, energetic material from a country at peak creativity. sportiv is a dexterous white label operation that brings you heavy-weight rhythmic performances from the world of techno athletics. related items
