TA 009EP

Amsterdam based imprint Taped Artifact welcomes Erik Anthony to their label. Here he makes a stellar techno debut with his first solo EP backed with a Vril remix. On "Board Walk", haunting vocal chops combine with droning kick drums for a serious big-room techno jam. "Oclose" brings more soul to the game, subtle basslines and dreamy synths create an uplifting and joyful playground. Vril stirs things up with his take on "Oclose" offering a different energy and his trademark hazy dub-techno twist. "Separate" is an emotive yet powerful techno.

Matthew Oh eloquently marries dub, techno and house into smooth and sensuous sonic landscapes. The opening track "Psycho Hub" is an atmospheric and spacious roller with dubbed out drums and pads, coupled with incendiary hi-hats urging you along. "Shroud" is seven minutes of slick and spaced out deep techno with liquid synths and clacking hits all racing along and making for a frictionless groove that sucks you right in. Finally, "Get in the Fridge" slows the tempo down and becomes an even more widescreen and roomy roller with suspensory pads, smeared synths and aqueous sonic details.
