PROLETAR 005EP
|
Insolate, formally known as Miss Sunshine, is a techno veteran with 20 years in the scene under her belt. Proletarijat 005 is dedicated to her grandfather who was a Yugoslav partisan during WWII. As the black clouds of fascism once again form over Europe, it's important to remember the ordinary men and women who sacrificed everything for the hope of freedom, or Sloboda if you will. "Ponos" is the Croatian word for pride, but it's also the name of the Greek god of hard labor. And this is labor music -- tough, proud, and confident.

TAR 005EP
|
Quintessential Swedish techno veteran Jesper Dahlbäck has arguably had his finest club moments under his The Persuader moniker. An ode to the floral beauty of his Nordic homeland, the three cuts on Vårblommor tread his hypnotic path between techno and house, with a unique, subtle quirkiness and authentic grit. "Vitsippa" is a dancefloor healer with an irresistible drive and intermittent crackly vocals. "Blåklocka" is more laid-back, recalling the early Persuader production for Svek with a deep sub-bass, ambient textures, and fluttering melodies fused into a deep, majestic groove. "Snödroppar" blends vivacious synths with delayed patterns, awash in a kind of sentimental lucidity.
