Press Info:
Umwelt is the latest to join the VOITAX catalogue with his EP Ecopoiesis. The French producer had a strong 2018, and follows suit this year offering up five slices of electro-imbued fire-power.

The opening track, the EP’s namesake, eases the listener cinematically into the release. The paranoid synth lines are met with brooding low ends, while teasing glimpses of percussion guide the main body of the track.

»Frameshift Mutation« comes bearing all the nuances of contemporary electro, strapped with a melancholic arpeggio to boot.

»Faceless Power« rounds off the A-side powerfully with Umwelt’s unique techno-meets-electro approach. The snarling low end is met with the producer’s iconic synth-work which makes for a satisfying juxtaposition.

The flip continues to mount the pressure as »Breakaway«’s overdriven framework paves the way for another paranoid, dance floor weapon.

“Endless Blackness” gives the release some well deserved closure. The 303’s distinctive sound is the main attraction here – its sound working great in unison with the pad work in turn giving the track it’s awe inspiring dynamic.

Press Info:
The first release of the year 2019 comes in the form of an split EP by Røttar and Sun Over Me. Opening we have “Industriegebiet”, a different track, that pretends to break with all scheme or trend, proposing a fresh, dark and atypical sound to its time. We continue with “Dark Energy”, showing a powerful bass accompanied by industrial textures that touch the acid sound at times, ideal to rescue any dancefloor. On the B side, first, we find “Gravis”, full of saturated synth lines and burnt catchy hi-hats that plays with our brains constantly. As second and last we have “Universo”, a very organic and daring track, whose main element is its magnificent modular-arpeggiated sequence.

out now: Boston 168 – 909 Therapy [Bpitch]

Artist:
Boston 168

Title:
909 Therapy

Label:
BPitch

Cat#:
BPC339

Release Date:
18th January 2019

Format:
vinyl & digital

Tracklist:
01.
909 Therapy

02.
Hypnotic States

03.
Daydream

Press Info:
Boston 168 return to BPitch Berlin with an EP that promises no less than a proper »909 Therapy« in three cathartic sessions. Hot on the heels of their debut single »Drops In Heaven« for Ellen Allien’s label, the Italian duo follow up with three even more rave-inspired pieces of cosmic techno. Theirs is not the kind therapy that will have you lie down on a couch and open up about your past, but the sort that will have you move every fibre of your body and embrace the here and now.

The A-side »909 Therapy« is perhaps Sergio Pace and Vincenzo Ferramosca’s most raw-sounding production yet: a booming kickdrum serves as the blank slate for the endless possibilities of the legendary Roland drum machine which the two producers here use with the playfulness and authority of a good jazz drummer – cool and reserved on the outside, hot and passionate on the inside. The stuttering chords that hint at classic Belgian rave material, and which are at times layered or punctuated by Boston 168’s piercing trademark acid sounds, lend even more explosiveness to this track which encapsulates the vitality of a live improvisation in a dense seven minute trip.

Also »Hypnotic States« and »Daydreams« are true to their titles. The former track combines a pulsating kickdrum with subtle, ornamental percussive work and a floating melody that is oozing with melancholy. It is the very essence of the Boston 168 sound that unfolds here over the course of a little less than six minutes. Where »Hypnotic States« works with ominous soundscapes and disembodied vocals to create an eerie atmosphere, »Daydreams« highlights the more cheerful side of the Turin-based duo’s understanding of techno. Like the two other pieces, it draws heavily on the psychedelic qualities of 90s rave culture, however its intertwining melodies at times seem to develop a life of their own. It is a track abundant with joy, nervous anticipation and endless thrills and thus the best possible outcome for a thorough »909 Therapy« like provided by Boston 168 on their second BPitch Berlin release.
