Press Info:
Ed Davenport continues his full-spectrum Techno experiments as Inland with this new EP on Counterchange entitled Coriolis.

The title track ‘Coriolis’ is a moody 10 minute voyage with a morphing synth array at its core – bright, detuned stabs are layered upon tough rhythmic foundations. The jagged metallic lead builds, unearthing harmonic bleep accents and syncopated FX swells, before folding in on itself leaving the effective tribal drum section to ride on.

‘D10D3’ plows forward with an urgent staccato sequence, segueing into Italo-Horror filter sweeps and noise-laden moments of drama. Finally ‘Tsereteli’ is a more reduced modern Dub study, continuing Ed’s long running fascination with Tranced-out time stretching and after-hours vibes.

Press Info:
‘Incantations’ is the debut EP from MAGNA PIA – the new solo project by Cassegrain member Hüseyin Evirgen.

Hüseyin is one half of the Cassegrain duo alongside long- time colleague Alex Tsiridis. Renowned as a driving force within the world of leftfield club techno and contemporary sound design, Cassegrain are known for their work on labels like Prologue, and on Killekill and Infrastructure New York alongside Tin Man.

Evirgen now comes to close colleague Ed Davenport’s Counterchange imprint for this first fully fledged solo EP. As MAGNA PIA, he introduces his own very personal image of Techno – rich, textural and full of detail.

The EP plots a strong narrative throughout – from the low slung melodic churn of opening track ‘Dhul’ to the mutant acid of ‘Nyx’ at its epitaph. Over four tracks with four very different moods we are treated to a masterclass in hardware only, high-end electronics – weird, melodic, hypnotic, banging.

‘Dhul’ was first previewed on Rødhåd’s Groove Magazine Mix CD (GROOVE 155 / CD 64, 2015), and set the wheels in motion for this full EP.
