Following his recent Australian tour, Modeight label mastermind Silat Beksi now connects the dots between Europe's thriving minimal underground and the emerging scene down under by showcasing Aussie modular specialist Venda for Modeight's 8th vinyl release. After early 12" outings on Norse Projekt & Subsonic Music, Venda now presents his most accomplished work to date - the darkly accented and introspective "Ovio" EP. Here is more definitive sonic proof that there is something special brewing on the island continent. With the Aussie revealing 3 deeply rhythmic cuts, awash with subtle artefacts and submersive hues. His dynamic approach to production results in a perfect union with Modeight here, as the imprint continues to explore the farthest realms of minimal music.[info sheet from distr.]
