There's always a sense of reverent elation around a new drop from Theo Parrish, and he's not disappointing on this latest joint.

He's created the kind of understated soul statement that inhabits some of his most treasured albums, using a raw and simple drum machine backing to achingly beautiful key refrains that melt around Rose's voice on the vocal A side, and give rise to a sublime instrumental version on the flip.

Portuguese techno master Lewis Fautzi returns home after a while with his trademark rugged and solid techno. For this release he provides four cuts of heavily pressurized dj tools, starting with Total Absence, starting with a solid groove spiced with bass enforced frequencies, the intensity grows as the bars go by using additional percussive layers and electrified drones floating over the beat. Paranoia comes next, clean and solid drums, elastic sequences and high pitched atmospheres collide in another mental workout. On the B side, Ground State provides another interpretation, in a more shuffled approach in the rhythms, precisely distorted and with the aid of a bleepy detail that appears from beyond the spectrum. Closing the Ep, Uncertainty is the most rugged exercise in this release, once again distortion is wisely used and the approach is more industrial than the previous cuts. One more proof of the expertise of this fundamental producer in today’s serious techno scene. Learn More
