After the smash that was Shatnereffekt One, Handsette Recordings return, bringing a host of diverse and super talented artists from around the world together on one massive EP and another essential array of electronic music. Kicking off the EP is Kritical Audios >Spandex<, a tune that comes slow on the heels of the Swedish duos 2006 braindance monster >Krupp<. The Swedish duo have come with an itchy slice of razor sharp electrofunk with a burbling acid bassline thats currently being caned by Surgeon and Rob Hall (who says, I ve been playing the Kritical Audio track a lot. Good stuff )... this is a BIG tune! Next up we have Miles Tilmanns >Spirex< which starts with a wonky off beat that gives way to some wacked-out rubbery bassline action and a lead line that could have come from the keyboard hands of Harold Faltemeyer or Parliaments Bernie Worrell. Following that is C. Mantles >That Other Eden<. Fearsome and delicate, morose and savage, >That Other Eden< is a serious piece of dancefloor heft with Reese basslines burbling under a clattering beat before dropping away into a slightly terrifying double-drop breakdown. Unity Gain Temples >Sahmo< rounds out the EP with a glistening, truly beautiful piece of work. The heavy kicks of the intro are met by a rush of lush chords and deft touches of melody, driving the track into a space that is pure audio luxury and reminiscent of Brothomstates, Arovane and Tippers more contemplative moments.
