Seth Troxlers Panic, Stop. Repeat! EP brings together all facets of the young Berlin-via-Detroit producers notoriously brilliant/bizarre persona, offering two new tracks (and one house-y remix) of sweaty, ecstatic dance music with a dirty mind and a heart of gold. >Panic, Stop. Repeat!< uses its titular command as a guiding principle, eroding its own immaculate facade through a series of anxious freakouts. The track rolls along like a freight train with aloose screw-designed for precision and speed, but with mechanical parts that constantly jiggle free and whiz off into the stratosphere. As a leathery kick drum and a wickedly simple two-note bassline keep the pace, >Panic, Stop. Repeat!< takes a series of surreal detours involving an EKG machine, a ladys feverish coos, and one particularly old-school sci-fi synth. Next up, Troxler melds minds with Matthew Dear on the collaborative >Hurt<, a sexy beast of a track featuring bone-dry drum machines, a huge lead tom-tom, and Dears terrifyingly deep spoken-word musings. Paco Osunas remix of >Panic, Stop. Repeat!< rounds out the EP with an exhilarating take on Troxlers original, building a subversive house creeper around Panics heavy-breathing leading lady.
