STARTREE 002EP
|
Darshan Jesrani's Cylinder moniker presents "Disco Engine," a futuristic joyride that draws upon late '80s and early '90s techno vibes as much as it does disco and R&B to produce a warmly insistent, buoyant, sexy, and somewhat menacing groove with ruthless, detuned 808 toms and a punchy, round analog bass synth. A greasy, giddy synth rhythm holds the middle down, and ecstatic choral synth pads and vocals by Chelsea Adewunmi soar just above the horizon. The "4-Stroke Dub" works a more DJ-oriented angle around that 808, subtly driving and every bit as engaging as the original.

STARTREE 001EP
|
Darshan Jesrani's new project Funn City continues to break open the notion of modern vs. retro and challenges the listener to categorize what is found inside. "All-Night People" is a relentlessly-upbeat, vivid, saturated trip inspired by that liminal area of late-'70s dance music which existed between shitty blues-rock, new wave, and disco. Otherworldly, gurgling synths surf atop truncated, slashing guitar and thick, pattering congas. The dub on side B works most of the same features but empties out the arrangement and infuses the mix with a bubbling, techno-inspired sequence and phaser-licked synth to create a new, more streamlined groove for the track-oriented dancefloor and style of play.
