Jonas Friedlich, better known through Mistress Recordings and Carl Gari, releases his first solo 12- on Molten Moods. The versatile 4 track EP starts with the rather straight -Bo s Breakfast- that begins with a polyrhythmic 303 bass line leading into a catchy garage-ish chorus, kicking in out of a clear sky but fittingly. -Bus Driver- is a wicked trip, the combination of the long acid build up and a nicely chopped vocal bit is irresistible. A proven, tested (and Molten Moods certified) club banger, regardless of its rather untypical breakbeat. Track number 3 called -Praise Your Name- aces groove through perfectly cut vocal samples and a fancy reference to 90s Hip Hop and Drum n Bass aesthetics. The next and last piece on the record is the eponymous -Deskjet-, which is inspired by Friedlichs conceptual sound art installations using printers. Here rather restrained synthie lines are underpinned by a powerful kick and psychedelic tape delay noises. The 12- vinyl is handstamped on both sides. Mastered and cut by Scape Mastering.
