subtly early 1990s ny school leaning techno on yellow vinyl.

a mixture of classic and modern day techno styles tsi returns with another two track 12inch that becomes the 4th volume of the series. “chordrophonic” is a powerful hypnotic chord dub driven affair whilst “sentiment of pity” takes a different path with staccato acid lines, spacey melancholic string pads and pounding tribalesque tom driven drum rhythms.

tsi returns with more dark, deep hypnotic hard techno goodness this latest installment of tsi. the >grinding machine< does just what the title intends. the same can be said for the adjective use in titling >dark, dirty & broken<. the people are asking who and where the secret initiative are from. tsi answers why does it matter? will knowing make the music sound better? the clues of whom it is be heard through the secret codeslocked in the grooves of the vinyl. listen closely and maybe you can piece it all together. if not listen closely and enjoy the music!

phobic recordings is the creation of tom latham. tom djs with smokescreen soundsystem and produces as one half of special interest and also as tsi. this first release is a coop with andy kinky of kiny movement and comes with a funky remix by inland knights
