FASA 006EP
|
Developer is back on Juxta Position's Failsafe imprint with four fresh cuts of techno. "Get That" is most reminiscent of the sound he is most known and loved for, with its booming drums and strange wavetable voices, but "Ethnic Identity" breaks away from more his usual template with its organic sounding loops and dramatic strings. Likewise, mood setter "Over Nepal", lays down an intense vibe whilst EP closer "Zebra" pairs up a memorable melodic pattern with his more usual driving percussion.

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.

FAS 003EP

Juxta Position flexes his techno muscles over these four cuts of IDM-influenced dancefloor weapons. Previously featured on DVS1's Mistress Recordings, Rhythm Nation, and his own Failsafe imprint, the gloves come off on his release for Developer's Modularz imprint. Razor sharp percussion grapples with melancholic synth lines, whilst serious sub-bass shifts much air and shimmering moods filter across the mid-range.

FAS 002EP
|
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.
