COSI002 further documents an emerging, ex-Germanic theory of Perth dance music, typified by tracks built on techno’s stern compositional logic, but poly-functional and cross-disciplinary, wearing the stripes given to them by this most nonpareil of electronic music ecosystems. The EP has both dance floor heft and mood-focused flexes. “The Hunt” is a solarised, laser-sharpened and hi-hat driven garage/big room hybrid. 8-minute “M is for Audio” is a workhorse techno slow burner with all the red-eyed melancholy of greats like “Acid Eiffel” and “Deep Burnt”, acid burnt and stinging at the mid-range. Conversely, “Rube” abounds with percussive warmth and ear-dancing patterns, as does “Freshness and Convenience”, a bastard union of dusty breaks and a hard funk bassline. The EP ends with ambient cyber walkabout “Freetown”, peripatetic, matte-toned and pulsing with vital signs.
