MUSAR 004EP
|
After more than a decade of productions on labels such as Detroit Underground and CPU, Annie Hall arrives on MUSAR for Statics EP, a record rich in texture and understated grooves. "Linium" seduces listeners with a spacious drum pattern. Mattheis maintains this understated feel, adding a kick to his remix of "Lavandula". The original follows, erupting into a distorted bassline. On "Silene", stuttering, frenetic drums interweave with Hall's melancholy keys before ending with "Santolina", taking each element and slowing it down. Though indebted to electro and IDM, Hall's music is no throwback, looking forward and moving dancefloors in unexpected ways.

DONE 044EP
|
"D1 have come a long way since their first release 14 years ago, morphing from purist techno to sounds that encompass many new and exciting rhythms expanding the scope of the genre. Now for the lovers of the original sound that spilled out of Detroit and rolled all over the globe we are proud to present the debut EP of Madrid-based Annie Hall. This girl has certainly been listening to all the right Motown sounds and has learned her lessons well. Simply put, this is as pure as techno can get and harks back to the renaissance of the mid-'90s in a way that's gonna bring you back there with it. Opening with 'Comienzo,' Annie works the filters through her squidgy analog bass over a classic 909 beat that'll have your dog doin' the robot. For the three remaining tracks, she drives into four-to-the-floor action utilizing abstract hawking cut-ups, all building towards 'Skywatcher,' which introduces synth warmth that I previously only thought Boards of Canada capable of. This is an essential plate for true techno-heads."
