prospector 01 presents the experimentations of pit spector, ark and losoul. sharing productions tricks and incorporating many different samples, instruments and hardware, brothers pit and ark create a highly distinctive piece with ‘song for everyone’. quite unlike anything in your current record bag and bursting with a plethora of flavours, this is one of those grooves you just can’t put in a box. ‘red sun’ is a mesmerising techno number. highly addictive and plagued with the voice of the terminator, it sucks you in and sends you spiralling back out. given the losoul treatment it reincarnates itself as the evil twin. darker and more minimal in form, it’s stark persona pushes the 3am dancefloor to the very edge.
