wie auch bei seiner ersten -warpaint ep-, steht hinter der neuen -throwing stones ep- von clint stewart das musikalische konzept mit je zwei verschiedenen stimmungen auf jeweils einer seite der platte. -throwing stones- ist ein track, der sich am wohlsten in clubs mit einer dunklen, mysteriösen atmosphäre mit strobe lights fühlt. -come undone- hingegen steht mit seinen warmen und rhythmischen akzenten im kontrast zur a-seite.

long established detroit talent keith worthy traverses a fine line between deep, bumpy house and raw techno on his debut double album, the price of non-conformance. t.p.o.n.c. is a conceptual project that takes you on a virtual walk through the streets of detroit. from a musical standpoint, the sound and feel of t.p.o.n.c. aligns with worthy’s own dna, a complex blend of house and techno, and all while incorporating a degree of fantasy into every composition. always striving to create his own path, and never allowing everyone else’s “norm” to become his influence, worthy really excels in this long player format. in total, t.p.o.n.c. consists of 14 tracks (including 8 songs and 6 interludes) all crafted to convey a vision of what non-conformance looks and sounds like. t.p.o.n.c. has range, from the boom-bap of the drums to the unorthodox patterns and key structures, this project evokes a sense of individualism that often gets lost in todays modern world of musical proliferation. in true detroit fashion, and in tandem with the spirit of aesthetic audios own mantra, t.p.o.n.c. maintains, the rule is there are no rules.

the debut album by synthek & audiolouis can be seen like a precious gathering of different approaches to techno, made in order to create a meaningful and elaborate piece of work. the opening tracks miasma and intro:spection are just a glimpse into the atmospheres which costantly surround the whole album. strong rhythmics and overwhelming soundscapes never abandon the ears, modulating intensity and brightness along the journey through a sea full of dark acid waves. unwise is a bold sequence of powerful tracks devotedly written for the dancefloor, but still keeps a certain emotional aspect made of few melodic detroit-rooted cuts, standing as a tribute to the authors primary inspirations.
