FAS 005EP
|
Juxta Position returns to his own Failsafe imprint with four post-modern techno pieces, exploring minimalist themes performed on more traditional sound sources, relying on pure sequencing rather than patch programming to convey moods and atmospheres. "Five Four Piano" recalls the work of modern classical composers such as Steve Reich, but re-engineers the aesthetic to fit on techno dancefloors. Likewise, "Orchestral Manouvers" continues this theme, whilst introducing a Millsian twist, and "Icicles" takes the idea even further into more looped techno territory. "Crisp Cold" concludes the record, with a cinematic and serious tone and almost Gothic sensibility.

FIGURE 096EP

Juxta Position finally finds his way to Figure, with highly infectious, acid-festered analog techno runs. Feeding on the raw and dynamic energy of live hardware production, these jams hit the sweet spot where constant modulation and spontaneous changes transform a bunch of loops into something more than the sum of its parts. Whether it's a bouncy ride around the rings of Saturn with "Elixir", the frantic sledge hammer-assault of "Stepping", cascading down into the machine's bowels on "Automated Reproduction", or the all-out overdrive that is "Pestered" -- every track on this record takes on a whole life of its own.

Following on from the very robust debut of his own label Failsafe (FAS 001EP), Juxta Position deviates back to the more melancholic aesthetic with which he initially made his mark back in 2013 on Mistress Recordings. Drawing palpable influence from ambient electronica like Boards Of Canada, he then reframes the aesthetic, with the help of rhythmic anchoring, on the 12 minute opening opus "Eureka". However, not to disappoint lovers of the slightly harder, more up-tempo, electronic beat, the flip then dishes up two significantly more pressurized techno pieces, the former "Made In Belgrade" more linear, the latter, "Reimagined", more flamboyant.

FAS 001EP
|
Failsafe is a new label created by, and primarily for the release of, material by Juxta Position, whose output was previously featured on Rhythm Nation, and on DVS1's Mistress Recordings imprint. Juxta Position first came to the attention of the electronic music world in 2013, with the release of Juxta Position Vol. 1 on Mistress Recordings. It was licensed to Deetron's Fabric 76 DJ mix (FABRIC 151CD, 2014). Inaugurating the first Failsafe release, Juxta Position delivers two slices of upfront hypnotic techno, custom-made for cutting edge DJs to provide maximum dancefloor damage.
