DGTL 006EP
|
Strange Alliances holds two striking and contemporary tracks by Tel Aviv native Autarkic, who also has releases out on Turbo and Life and Death - plus remixes by Trikk and Rebolledo. It seems the Amsterdam based label has another winner on their hands; with Autarkic having an exceptional personality one would expect the same from his music. This is exactly what you get with Strange Alliances, as his originality shines through on both tracks, having used a lot of live instruments and his own vocals on both tracks, adding to its ingenuity. Art by Tim Straver and Boris Acket.

LAD 037EP
|
Heavy Dreamer is Autarkic's first, four-track outing on Life And Death. Ever present tones of kraut and punk rock flow throughout the EP, beginning with "Some Things To Keep", a pumping, warehouse floor-filler. "Realistic Guru", the trippiest of the lot, is tailor made for an early morning DJ Tennis afterparty excursion. The title track stands as a testament to this new wave of artists, coming from the shores of Israel's Mediterranean coastline. Slowing down the pace on "Powerhouse", Autarkic hints at moments of Bauhaus's and Tones On Tail's doom and dance pop.

TURBO 180EP
|
Autarkic, aka Nadav Spiegel, presents Rotation! Rotation!. If things were more down-tempo on his first EPs, these tracks point squarely at the dancefloor. The arrangements are especially strong, each song building in a way that feels exceedingly rare in dance music, in every case the second half elements come together in just the right way to surprise you, even make you fall in love. The somber vocals and unadorned production are just rough enough to make the unexpectedly beautiful twists and emotive flourishes call your attention and keep you hooked. There's also a slamming Red Axes remix.
