In the eighth release from Detroit based underground techno record label Blank Code, Audio Injection provides three wellcrafted tracks in the style he has become widely known for. With this EP, Audio Injection cements himself as a cornerstone of Blank Code after previously offering up a remix on BCR001 Mutate Circle 1 & his original version of Null on BCR005.
The EP begins with “Recall” delicately textured, pairing a subdued, shakerdriven percussive line with glowing background drones. The B side of the vinyl starts off with “Open Air,” a big room techno track that bounces along with a slightly distorted kick and pink noise hihats that frame a quick sinewave bleep bassline. “Outburst” continues in this same style with a heavyweight kick drum offset by a short synth whine and a selection of everchanging hihat patterns that drive the track’s energy. The naturalsounding reverberations of the kick drum on this track bear an uncanny resemblance to the acoustic behavior of Blank Code’s home venue, The Works, giving the track a distinctive sound that effortlessly aligns with the label’s roots.
