FIGSPC Z
|
Figure SPC arrives at the alphabet's last letter with Figure SPC Z and therefore the end of what has been a most prosperous run-time and success story. Already accountable for its first release A (2009), Jeroen Search has proven essential to the sublabel's course with his many cornerstone contributions. This final, special extended release grants him the ample scope to tell the closing chapter in all proper detail. Spread across two fully packed 12 inches, the Dutch veteran producer wastes no time but lets his ever evolving array of machines do the talking. They speak in many tones - be it snappy or propelling, vivid or restrained, stomping or intricate - yet they all retain Search's consistently singular voice. Each of the nine tracks were composed as a live take, with elements being reduced to the utmost minimum but they always carry the kinetic energy onto the next bar. Figure SPC Z not only bears witness to an artist's impressive ability to reliably distill the pure essence of a groove, it is also the grand conclusion to an esteemed series that has become a staple in many DJ's bags, brought forth plenty of future classics and left its unmistakable mark on techno. Crafty, refined and irresistibly moving, this record is sure to be stirring up dancers around the globe.

FIGSPC P
|
Encapsulating a trademark sound built from classic analog hardware, fused with modern production techniques, Jeroen Search offers up three new tracks, backed with two snaking, distinctly modern remixes by London-based techno mainstay Ø [Phase]. What begins as a casual reduced jam then evolves into an ensnaring, tense workout as "Momentum" gathers exactly that -- elevating and maintaining the tension. "The Future Is Ours" then sees Search at his meanest, with a grating, killer hook winding itself around his perfectly controlled drum machines.

"A true home for playful experimentation and a place for real fun to be had, Figure SPC proudly raises its hat to the latest dose of musical mindplay on offer. After the sensational trip that was his Vapors 12" on Len Faki's Figure label, the inimitable Savas Pascalidis returns with four unique club burners that are guaranteed hotter than the sun! 'Positive Force' throws us right into the party, introducing the bold, gutsy vibe of the EP with this sinister synthethiser jam. Using only a handful of elements to tell the tale, an addictive bassline and a psycho-disco groove throw energy all over the place in this reckless monster. But of course that was only the warm up for the mighty 'Let's Rough' that follows on the A2! Tripping, awesome analogue drums and a formidable bass end push this storming big-room-ready cut through all of its rebellious ups and downs."

"A rather talented Frenchman in love with Detroit is the second artist to contribute their music to the SPC catalogue. Sebastien San, who has already released highly received productions with labels like Rush Hour, Planet E and Echochord, provides two wonderful cuts for Figure SPC B. Reminiscent of heroic expeditions into the unknown, both 'Chief Inspector' and 'Midnight Motion' have all the brawn, intelligence and forward-pushing energy of those young and fearless techno pioneers some twenty years past. Full of raw, unadulterated emotions and overwhelming, room-filling waves of kinetic energy, '...Inspector' greets us with an instantly catchy synth hook, rising amongst a strong, classic groove that seeks out the hidden dancer in all of us. Rising and falling through a canyon of synthesizers, a melody of epic proportions fuels this night train's dramatic adventure, freezing time and space in its path."
