KARLOFF 027EP
|
"Record label, party collective and techno flat share -- in San Francisco, this approved threesome is called Auralism Records, and its figurehead is Coalition Of The Killing (COTK), aka Jason Short and Marc Smith. After releases on their own label, now the first excursion to the well-observed European realms follows on Karloff Rekordings. Analog beats, bleeps and white noise -- in sunny California these popular ingredients of minimal techno get brewed together with surprising facility, to a fresh, jacking A-side track with a sturdily nodding groove. On top of that, 'Azizam' doesn't lack a clearly distinguished climax -- for the good of the dancefloor! On the B-side, 'Off My Mind' first appears organically floating within a warm and fuzzy scent of Detroit, before 'Backwards On Pony' finally unwraps classic sawtooth sequencer techno, however properly purged und worked up percussively, to a seething cauldron that you simply have to like!"
