Press Info:
The tenth output of Invite’s Choice records is another hard hitting banger made by Border One.

Drumrim´s straightforward four-to-the-floor kick is accompanied by a hard-hitting bass and a repetitive leadsound that evolves throughout the track. The overdriven hihats and rides combine well with the panicky sound. Diffuse goes along with the flow set by the A1 track, yet has a bit more percussive feel to it due to the toms added. Hatchet on the B-side provides an aggressive kick and percussive elements. The sound evolves around one overdriven synth sound that drains you in to the track. Perfect for fast transitions while mixing. Copylust ends the EP a bit slower BPM-wise, but emits the same energy as the previous tracks. Straight-forward, hypnotising, hard-hitting contemporary techno. Another great showcase of the talent harvested by Invite’s Choice!

Cordova
(Hydrangea Remix)

 

Press Info:
“NORITE strikes back with “Hermeticism”, a captivating EP by Kiev-based Bohdan. On remix duties are Taapion Records head-honcho AWB and deep techno priestess Hydrangea.

“Overflöd” starts off with subtle percussion variations and a muffled arpeggiated synth on top of a heady kick-bass combo, providing an almost aquatic sound. Filtered pads and horns add to the soothing atmosphere.

Whereas the original track develops organically, AWB choses a more looming version. Haunted choirs and broken beats lurk into darker territories. Gloomy accents are joined by a mix of hypnotic details taking the listener on an esoteric journey all the way through.

On the flipside, “Cordova” is taking a slightly different route. A steady kick drum ensures an uplifting tempo, while the sub bass tempers with a deeper groove. Celestial and eerie synths provide harmonious ambient soundscapes.

Hydrangea’s take on “Cordova” slowly takes off with a swift and reverbing snare drum on an oozing kick drum. Alongside droning noise washes, Hydrangea layers blissful and ethereal pads. With her stunning approach and unique sense of detail, the French producer offers a very compelling interpretation.”

Cosinaxis
(3KZ Remix)

 

Press Info:
Following a superb remix of Hakimonu’s ‘Insular Realms’ in 2015, Ed Davenport’s Inland alias returns to Deep’a & Biri’s Black Crow Recordings with a brand new EP for the label’s tenth release. Having played a key role in the relaunch of Function’s Infrastructure New York imprint, in addition to operating his own widley admired Counterchange label, Davenport’s techno project has brought the Englishman to wider recognition as one of the genre’s most talented producers.

The new EP’s three original tracks finds Inland exploring all facets of his diverse sound: A1, ‘Metatlantic’ is driving, acid-laced techno; ‘Cosinaxis’, employs electro beat patterns and IDM aesthetics; B-side opener, ‘Lagoon9’, is a melodic Detroit-indebted big room weapon featuring a contribution from Out Electronics Recordings producer Civilian.

Closing out the EP is a remix from 3KZ aka Italian duo Z.I.P.P.O & Kaelan, the latter of whom provided one of Black Crow’s standout releases so far under his 2030 alias with last year’s Timeworm EP. Their remix of ‘Cosinaxis’ follows hot on the heels of their debut album ‘Parallel Reflections’, released earlier this year on Z.I.P.P.O.’s Fides imprint.
