Riiight.
Seems we've drifted off course and as I have some new records recently
arrive I'll prattle on about them if anyone would like to join me:
New World Aquarium - The Twenty EP - Delsin
Absolutely brilliant ep of deep techno. One side more on the
ambient/beatless tip and the other side contains "The Twenty", a lush
more dancefloor oriented number and my fave track of the ep "Rox", nice
and slow and deep.
San Proper and Steven de Peven - Propers Amsterdam Family Series Part 1
- Rush Hour Ltd
I love this, stupidly repetitive yet involving, the main track "PamPam"
is the one, the other two are slightly different versions, this one
works best as a track though. I guess the style here is beatdown as it's
so slow, but I guess it's techno and minimal too. Very cool.
San Proper and Tom Trago - Propers Amsterdam Family Series Part 2 - Rush
Hour Ltd
"Caterpillar Butter Plus" is a KDJ style track, "Love Flu" is another
wicked repetetive slow-techno monster. These two eps wouldn't be out of
place on Planet E. Top.
Workshop01 - Workshop
I guess this is minimal but all tracks have a nice shuffle to them that
makes them work better than most cookiecutter minimal tracks. The A1 and
the B2 tracks are the standouts (both in a style like things like
Repeat Orchestra). Solid ep, worth checking.
100Hz - TrustLove - Hi Phen Music Delivery
An old 100Hz track, apparently never released until now. The original
1999 mix is the best one for me. Orgue Electronique weigh in with
another old-chicago sounding mix (sometimes I tire of that style
though). Patrick Pulsinger's mix is wicked as well, deep menacing with a
hint of electro. The repetition of the vocal kinda wears (as maybe does
the sentiment) but the way it's delivered works well.
Obsolete Music Technology - My Neurosis - Emphasis
Usual high quality Tang release. Deep but just jacking enough to not be
bland. The title track the most chicago influenced and haunting with a
different twist from Jamal Moss on the fierce "326" mix. Jamal Moss here
not going mad at pushing levels of the meter, which is a welcome releif
as that's when he's at his best.
Eamonn Doyle - Ghost of the Machine - Herz
Ace Ep of deep techno. The title track working the best for me.
That'll do for now. Anyone else got some newly released records worth
shouting about?
