Mary Yuzovskaya’s vinyl-only, Berlin-via-Brooklyn Monday Off label continues to explore techno’s shadowy depths; where the music’s subtle dynamics unfurl in intensely cerebral and psychedelic ways. The rising Roman producer Hoedus, who’s previously contributed to one of the Various Artist compilations, offers three exquisite new tracks on this latest edition to MOFF’s catalogue.

The propulsion of opening track Frames rolls in like a summer’s evening thunderstorm; fresh and unrelenting as its elements swirl around the listener, while ever-crescendoing in subdued intensity. Moving Up Slowly follows suit, but unlike its namesake, it dives straight into peak time energy with ravey drones that slowly evolve into an array of tripping tones that tunnel straight into the brain.
The following side begins with MOFF fave Spanish artist Orbe remixing Moving Up Slowly; its energy further increased tenfold as otherworldly sounds dance around the main motif with frenetic intensity. Gravity Zero closes out the EP by simmering away with body-centric rhythms and a heady afterglow that’s reminiscent of an extended sunrise moment.
