LSR 018EP
|
On the heels of 2015's hyperactive Longanimity EP and Sense of Purpose JoeFarr returns with Spectate EP, another tactile and punishing contribution to the ongoing Gridlock series complete with an incredible remix from sound scientist Max Cooper. Farr throws down heavy drum grooves on title track "Spectate," with hi-hats and synth zaps creating malevolent movement around a blurry vocal sample. Max Cooper explodes the track on his remix, offering increasingly distorted sections that lure in the listener before shattering the structure. "Comp Killer" and "In Focus" are two slices of deliciously raw techno, featuring shuddering bass and searing melodies.

LSR 014EP
|
JoeFarr inaugurates Leisure System's Gridlock 12" series, following a diverse history that includes three well-received releases on Turbo and records with DSNT and Power Vacuum; he has also remixed Tiga and been remixed by Truss. The clinical, kinetic "Oleum" hurdles toward a shatteringly powerful peak, while "Mormon Shuffle" boasts twisted functionality without sacrificing roughness in the brittle loops. The monolithic "Standard Issue" has an aggressive edge enhanced by whiplash percussion, and the broken piano melody of "FS3+4" inverts the joy typically found in that rave standby, dropping the instrument from to let the chords scatter and shatter as they please.

TURBO 146EP
|
Turbo continues to explore edgy new territory with this set of absolutely lethal techno jackers from one of Bristol's hottest talents: joeFarr. Distorted vocal hooks and massively overdriven drum tracks swing over rave-shattering synths. "Clock" has been a major weapon in Tiga's DJ sets and has been charted by Dave Clarke, too. This is raw, fear-inducing UK warehouse at its finest, and a big step forward for the developing new jack techno genre.

TURBO 134EP
|
Turbo Recordings presents a stellar EP from UK producer joeFarr, the latest addition to the label's new jack techno stable, which has been embraced by everyone from superstar DJs to highbrow tastemakers like Resident Advisor. The title-track's moody synth intro gives way to bleeped-out party vibes. Meanwhile, "FE CR" welds clanging percussion to dark atmospherics and a relentless, distorted acid-line. Finally, "You Got Some Front" is an industrial-tinged banger that crosses the line into glowstick-eating rave madness.
